hi Kuttalamk,
thanks for the query.
Normally 1 to 2 grams of protein/ kg body weight is recommended.
excessive intake of protein powder or amino acids can cause weight gain, kidney problems, osteoporosis, diarrhea, abdominal cramps, gastritis, bloating etc.
fat burners can lead to side effects like increased heart rate , blood pressure if contains ephedrine like stimulants,
they can also cause euphoria, increase alertness, in case of sensitivity they can cause jitters, red face, agitation, dehydration, very rarely even they are said to cause death of the using person etc.
reference: WWW.WWWW.WW
as such they are not described to cause impotency but be aware that,
-use the drugs only after consulting doctor,
-you have to know about all the ingredients present in the supplements.
-take enough water so that kidneys can flush the supplements through the body.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer your follow up queries. If you are satisfied with all my answer, please rate the answer after closing the discussion.
