What Causes Abrupt Weight Loss?

I`m 37 yrs old and taking Viridex XT for 2 wks. I`ve gained 4 pounds of muscle and lost 1,5 pound of fat. I follow a mass building diet prescribed by a nutritionist and never had a result like that. Is it possible that I had low testosterone? Should I expect any side effects even if I follow the supplement instructions?

Dr. Hanif warmly welcomes you!

Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can well realize your health worries. Being your physician, I want to assure, I will take care all of your medical concerns.

The manufacturers of Viridex claimed that it increases available free testosterone levels in the males and decreases cortisol in the body. But this isn't proved ever to be clinically effective and its safety was challenged to the human body and so this product is discontinued in many countries of the world. I never recommend this product for you.

What is your weight, height, waist circumference? If you need help for achieving your goals, you may extend it through a follow up query with these details. I am always here to help you. Alternatively you may also contact back your treating dietician for help.

There are many side effects of this products. It disturbs the body's natural hormonal balance of the body:
Decreases Estrogen
Increases Free testosterone
Decreases Cortisol.

These three hormones are vital t normal human male health including sexual and reproductive health. Imbalance produced by exogenous sources like this drug, makes hypothalamic pituitary axis of hormonal balance and testes hormonal productions all out of balance. This is the innate property of such products, no matter you follow the supplemental instruction or not.

Hope I answered all of your questions. Have a wonderful time ahead. Keep in touch for a follow-up too.

Regards!
