Does Intake Of Pre-workout Supplements Cause Cancer?
Hi I am an amatuer bodybuilder and have taken workout supplements for a few years. I am 25. Recently I have had two friends diagnosed with cancer. They are they are the same age as me. I m curious if there has been any concrete proof as to preworkout and supplements being linked to cancer. Thanks

Hi,
Few recent foreign studies has documented that there was a significantly higher risk of developing testicular cancer, especially germ cell cancer (TGCC) in men who taking muscle-building supplements, such as pills and powders which contains creatine or androstenedione. The risk is higher in people taking creatine supplements much & vitamins has no reported cancer incidence.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
