Harmful Effects of Health Supplements can cause Kidney, Heart Disease along with Blood Pressure

According to the UK’s National Health Service, continuous steroid use can cause kidney and heart risk along with blood pressure.
Be alert if you also take sports supplements or health drinks to increase agility or performance. These can put the heart at risk. If you mix them then they become even more dangerous. The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) has warned about this. According to him, a large number of players and youth are taking such products to improve performance. Experts have reported 2006 adverse effects of doping on athletes.

Experts have cautioned that these nutritional products are not subject to strict drug safety standards. Due to the lack of strictness, these supplements use a lot of chemicals that break the doping rules. Experts believe that mixing these supplements together makes them more dangerous. They can also cause death.

Steroids also Threaten the Heart

Dr. Paolo Adami, the study’s author and manager of health and science at World Athletics, says that all types of doping substances are harmful. Like anabolic steroids, synthetic hormones speed up the process of building muscles and prevent them from breaking down. But by taking them continuously, there is a tumor with liver damage. The size of the heart can be large. High blood pressure can be a problem.

It also brings changes in blood cholesterol. Blood clotting occurs. This also increases the risk of heart attack in young people. Androgen receptors increase the risk of cancer and cardiovascular problems.

Narcotics drugs increase the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, severe stress and coronary artery disease. Stimulants such as amphetamine and methylphenidate have a bad effect on the heart and brain. These cause congestive heart failure, cardiac chamber problems and hemorrhages.
Players who use anabolic steroids are 20 times more likely to die than those who do not. One third of these deaths are due to heart problems. According to the ESC, most athletes seek advice from coaches, fellow athletes and family members. This is a dangerous trend.

Hazardous Ingredients in more than 100 Health Supplements
Cardiologists at ESC point out that millions of people are using sports supplements wildly for everything from weight loss to muscle building without consulting experts. They are also in great demand among gym goers.

Stimulants, steroids and hormones have been found in more than 100 energy-boosting health supplements, a UK drug regulator’s investigation has found. According to the UK’s National Health Service, continuous steroid use can cause kidney, heart and liver damage along with high blood pressure.
