A member asked:
Bodybuilding supplements should it affect kidneys or does it have any side effects?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possibly: There are many different types of bodybuilding supplements (i.e. Creatine, amino acids, protein supplements, glutamine, etc) so it's hard to answer this question. In general terms, anything that's taken into the body can have potential side effects or, if taken long term, eventually affect the kidneys and/or liver.
