Overuse of muscle-building products associated with body image condition
81% Informative
Study: Overuse of workout supplements may be affecting young people's mental health as well as their physical health.
Fitness influencers who promote or sell workout supplements online may be driving more children and young adults to overuse powders or pills.
About 55% adolescents and young men in the U.S. use bodybuilding supplements, some estimates say.
When used appropriately, many of the ingredients in muscle-building supplements such as whey protein are safe.
Some, like creatine, have been shown to boost muscle mass and strength.
Using supplements isn’t “inherently problematic,” Ganson said. Once started, though, “it’s kind of like a Pandora 's box”.
