A recent medical study warned of the serious risks of taking “Androstenedione”, which is one of the supplements sold to athletes, to help them build muscle quickly and raise testosterone levels.
According to a study published recently in the journal Molecules, doctors can provide doses of “androstenedione” to prevent or treat some chronic diseases, but this has many side effects.
According to the “Mayo Clinic” medical website, long-term intake of “androstenedione” by men can lead to testicular atrophy and impotence.
On the other hand, women who use this supplement may develop masculine characteristics such as baldness, deepening of the voice, and increased facial hair, in addition to blood clots.
Androstenedione can also increase the risk of breast and endometrial cancer, according to the UBI news agency.
Among the negative effects of Androstenedione is that it may damage the heart and blood vessels, and increase the chances of strokes and heart attacks.
Doctors also warn of the possibility of interaction of “Androstenedione” with a number of drugs, which may have serious consequences.
