They might increase muscle mass or boost your testosterone temporarily, but the side effects are scary. Liver damage. A dangerous increase in your bad cholesterol. Testicular atrophy. Impaired sperm production. Damage to your heart. Suppression of your natural sex hormones. These are serious side effects. You're wise to steer clear of them. Anyone with good sense would be.
