Can male use of a pre workout supplement impact sperm quality and lead to birth defects (for example c4)?????

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not Likely: C4 pre workout supplement contains Beta alanine,creatinine nitrate,caffeine and arginine.None of these ingredients will have any effect on your sperms and there is no evidence that it will cause Birth Defects
