Taking Supplements For Bodybuilding. Any Effect On Liver Or Kidney?
Hello, i've done research on the supplements i am currently taking with bodybuilding. I am taking protein, creatine, hmb, l-arginine, multivitamin(contains vitamins/minerals/zma/beta alinine, and l-carnitine), fishoil, cla, and fat burner. All my supplements seem to have no side effects but i was wondering if they could harm my body such has kidney and liver if all taken at the same time. Also i just measured my height and it seems like i've have lost height slightly. Should i be worried about that?

Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.
Many times content of bodybuilding supplements are not clear. They increases metabolism to burn fat. Many time people develop anxiety and health worry after using them.
It is difficult to tell about damage to liver and kidney, but you can monitor liver and kidney function test every month while on supplement.
Apart from that loosing height is uncommon and serious issues. In such case you should meet general physician for evaluation.
Wish you good health and all the best.
