HOW SUPPLEMENTS DAMAGE YOUR ORGANS
What Happens Inside Your Body When You Chase the Perfect Body at Any Cost
Let’s see in details how you are damaging your vital organs by taking Supplements to get Perfect Body!
Protein Powder
Used For:
o Muscle repair, growth, meal replacement.
Mechanism:
o High protein intake → increased urea production → requires greater glomerular filtration to eliminate waste nitrogen.
o Leads to glomerular hyperfiltration, renal hypertrophy, and over time can cause glomerulosclerosis (scarring of the filtration units).
Dark Effects on the Body:
- Effects on the Kidney
When excess protein floods the body, the kidneys must work harder to flush out nitrogen — a byproduct of protein metabolism. Over time, this leads to:
o Chronic kidney stress
o Kidney stones
o Proteinuria (protein in urine) – an early sign of kidney breakdown.
o Accelerated failure in people with borderline or undiagnosed kidney disease.

– Reduces oxidative stress in nephrons |
- Liver Strain
Liver Function Impact:
o The liver converts amino acids into energy or glucose, producing ammonia, which must be detoxified into urea by the liver.
o Overconsumption leads to hepatic overload and increased ammonia burden, especially in people with underlying liver issues.
Risks:
o Hepatic stress from continual high nitrogen processing.
o Non-alcoholic Fatty liver disease (NAFLD) risk with associated high-calorie, high-protein diets.
o Possible contamination of commercial protein powders with heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium) and chemical additives, further straining hepatic detox systems.

Dianabol (Methandrostenolone) – An Anabolic Steroid
Used For:
o Extreme muscle gain, strength enhancement.
Mechanism:
o Increases protein synthesis, raising nitrogen load dramatically.
o Promotes fluid retention and hypertension—damaging glomeruli.
o Long-term use → renal fibrosis and altered renal perfusion.
Brutal and Dangerous Effects on the Body:
1. Liver Function Impact:
o Dianabol is a C-17 alpha-alkylated steroid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/17%CE%B1-Alkylated_anabolic_steroid), designed to survive oral ingestion—but this modification makes it highly hepatotoxic.
o Directly injures hepatocytes and bile ducts → cholestasis, peliosis hepatis, and hepatocellular adenoma.
Risks:
o Cholestatic jaundice: bile cannot flow from liver to intestine.
o Hepatic peliosis: blood-filled cysts in the liver.
o Hepatic tumours and hepatocellular carcinoma (long-term abuse).
o Acute liver failure has occurred in documented cases.

2. Cardiovascular Catastrophe
- Elevates LDL (Low-density lipoprotein) and drops HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein)
Note:
- LDL is commonly referred to as "bad" cholesterol because high levels of LDL cholesterol can contribute to the buildup of plaque in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke
- HDL is often referred to as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove other forms of cholesterol, like LDL from the body by carrying it back to the liver for processing and removal. High levels of HDL cholesterol are generally associated with a reduced risk of heart disease.
- Leads to arterial plaque buildup, increasing heart attack and stroke risk, even in young users.
- Causes left ventricular hypertrophy – thickening of heart walls → arrhythmia, sudden cardiac arrest.

Creatine
Used For:
o Muscle Strength & Power
Muscle Volume & Growth
o Improved Recovery
o Increased Workload
o Stack-Friendly
Mechanism:
o Stored as Phosphocreatine (PCr) in muscle cells.
o During intense effort, it donates a phosphate to ADP (Adenosine diphosphate) → ATP (adenosine triphosphate), replenishing energy.
o More ATP (adenosine triphosphate) = higher muscular output for short, explosive efforts.
o Increases IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) expression, satellite cell activation, and protein synthesis.
Note: -
IGF-1 stands for Insulin-like Growth Factor-1. It's a hormone that plays a crucial role in growth and development, particularly in childhood and puberty. IGF-1 is a key mediator of growth hormone (GH) and is responsible for many of the growth-promoting effects of GH.
o Hydrates muscle cells, triggering anabolic signals for growth.
Adverse & Bad Effects of Creatine
1. Kidney Effects
o Increased serum creatinine (often misinterpreted as kidney damage).
o Rare cases of acute kidney injury when combined with dehydration, NSAIDs, or pre-existing renal conditions.

The Toxic Stack: When You Combine Them
When athletes stack these substances—protein powder + BCAAs + glutamine + Dianabol + heavy caffeine—the result is a catastrophic multi-organ onslaught:
· Liver: Hit with detox overload from protein additives, steroid hepatotoxicity, and ammonia from glutamine.
· Kidneys: Overburdened by urea, nitrogen waste, and hypertension.
· Heart & Vessels: Face hypertrophy, arrhythmias, atherosclerosis, stroke, and caffeine-triggered tachycardia and hypertension.
· Metabolism: mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) overdrive and BCAA metabolites fuel insulin resistance, fatty liver, obesity—and raise stroke/ MI (Myocardial Infarction) risk.
Note:
MI stands for myocardial infarction, which is more commonly known as a heart attack. It occurs when blood flow to a part of the heart muscle is blocked, depriving it of oxygen and nutrients, and potentially causing damage to the heart tissue.
· Hormonal system: Steroid-induced endocrine shutdown with cortisol imbalance from caffeine—leaving you "wired, weak, and severely dysregulated.”
· Brain & Mood: “Roid rage,” psychiatric breakdowns, caffeine-induced mania and sleep deprivation—all quietly damaging your brain’s integrity.
· Digestive System: A decade of evidence shows that excessive protein and BCAAs ferment into gut toxins. Add BCAAs, steroids, and caffeine, and you get a perfect storm undermining your digestive system—from microbiome collapse to inflammation and malabsorption.
WHO IS AT GREATEST RISK?
Athletes and bodybuilders who regularly use protein powders, BCAAs, glutamine, anabolic agents, and stimulants like caffeine may unknowingly be putting their bodies under intense, chronic stress. Here's how:
1. Liver Overload & Damages
o Excess protein and synthetic anabolic agents burden the liver, leading to Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST).
Note: -
- ALT: ALT stands for Alanine Aminotransferase, an enzyme primarily found in the liver, but also in other tissues like the kidneys and heart. It's a key indicator of liver health, and elevated ALT levels in the blood often signal liver damage or injury. ALT was previously known as Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase (SGPT).
- AST: AST stands for aspartate aminotransferase. It's an enzyme, a type of protein that helps with various bodily functions. AST is primarily found in the liver, but also in the heart, muscles, and other tissues. A blood test measuring AST levels is often used to help diagnose and monitor liver damage or disease. It's also sometimes referred to as SGOT (serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase).
Note: -
SGOT is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the liver, heart, muscles, and kidneys. Elevated levels of SGOT in the blood can indicate tissue damage, particularly in the liver.
o Long-term exposure increases the risk of fibrosis, liver inflammation, and in severe cases, hepatocellular carcinoma (liver cancer).
o Many anabolic steroids are hepatotoxic and classified as Group 2A probable carcinogens (IARC).
Note: -
IARC stands for the International Agency for Research on Cancer. It is the specialized cancer agency of the World Health Organization. IARC's primary mission is to coordinate and conduct cancer research on a global scale, with the goal of understanding the causes of cancer and developing strategies for prevention.
2. Kidney Stress & Toxic Load
o High intake of protein, BCAAs, and creatine increases nitrogenous waste (urea, creatinine), stressing the kidneys.
o Chronic exposure can cause glomerular hyperfiltration, nephron loss, and eventual kidney dysfunction—especially in dehydrated athletes.
o Anabolic agents and NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug) further impair renal perfusion, compounding risk.
Note: -
"Impaired renal perfusion" refers to a reduction in the flow of blood to the kidneys. This can result from various factors, including decreased blood pressure, vascular issues, or conditions affecting the kidney's ability to regulate blood flow. It can lead to a range of problems, from temporary dysfunction to acute kidney injury (AKI) and potentially chronic kidney disease.
3. Hormonal & Metabolic Disruption
o BCAAs and anabolic agents activate IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) — growth pathways linked to insulin resistance, inflammation, and tumorigenesis.
o Elevated IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor-1) is associated with breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
o Long-term use disrupts the endocrine system, reducing natural hormone production.
4. Cellular & DNA Stress
o Chronic oxidative stress from intense training + supplement overload accelerates DNA damage, cellular aging, and mutation risk.
o Pro-oxidant load outpaces the body’s antioxidant defences—opening doors to carcinogenesis and autoimmune dysfunction.
5. Digestive Breakdown
o High protein and stimulant intake alter the gut microbiome, leading to poor nutrient absorption, intestinal inflammation, and gastric irritation.
o Disruption in microbiota increases risk of leaky gut, food sensitivities, and systemic inflammation.
6. Cardiovascular Strain
o Caffeine and anabolic steroids elevate heart rate, blood pressure, and increase risk of cardiac hypertrophy and arrhythmias.
o Oxidative stress reduces vascular flexibility, increasing long-term risks of heart attacks and strokes.
7. Hair Loss & Skin Aging
o Hormonal imbalances and nutrient depletion accelerate hair thinning, scalp inflammation, and dull, aging skin.
o Loss of key vitamins and increased cortisol blunts keratin and collagen synthesis, vital for hair, skin, and nail health.
Bottom Line
o You may feel strong—but your organs are silently suffering.
o If you're not repairing the damage, you're accelerating dysfunction.
o “The Healer” is your essential defence, built to heal, protect, and restore what performance-enhancing supplements break down.
Final Takeaway
These aren’t mild side effects. Each element of the stack carries its own life-threatening risks—compounded massively when taken together. Published studies and medical case reports bring this from "possible" to highly likely in long-term abusers.
Before grabbing another scoop or pill, consider this: you're not just chasing muscle—you might be financing your own medical crisis. Professional medical oversight with regular panels (kidney, liver, hormone, cholesterol) is critical, not optional.
