I am a bodybuilder and i was wondering what are your thoughts on me taking deer antler velvet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Growth Hormone: Do you want to look like this? Deer antler velvet is growth hormone. That's why it's banned by the NFL. Excess growth hormone can cause acromegaly, the condition shown in the photo. It can help you bulk up but at a tremendous cost to your body. Thanks for trusting HealthTap!
