Bodybuilding supplements & Gynecomastia

[canadianmoobs123]

can bodybuilding supplements (creatine, protein etc) cause gyne, cause some of them have ingredients that can cause hormonal inbalances and potentially gyne.

Protein and creatine supplements do not cause gynecomastia. There are some supplements such as prohormones that can cause gynecomastia.

[Dr. Elliot Jacobs]

Theoretically, protein and creatine are fine.  However, I have had a number of patients who developed gynecomastia after taking creatine.  I would be careful.

Creatine has no known interaction with testosterone, estrogen, or progesterone. I do not believe there is any direct correlation between creatine use and gynecomastia. The indirect correlation may be that young men concerned about their appearance may take or have taken creatine. This corelation is no different than suggesting that soda is to blame as well. Just my opinion.

I would take creatine and protein. Do not take those pro-hormone supplements that they sell otc.  I did on a whim when a friend told me about about it—this gave me gyno.  Keep in mind i did a couple of cycles of juice when i was younger but just one bottle of pro-hormone (superdrol).

I had the exact same experience with prohormones. At the age of 16-17 I took a substance called 1-AD. It was a chemical that did not convert to estrogen; so I ASSumed that gyno was not possible. After a few bottles I developed gyno. Apparently progesterone is just as potent when it comes to creating gyno.
