[ONDraft]

Recently I drank all my muscle juice so i went and get cyto gainer from GNC. But anyways I relized I have alot of zits now. Alot more than when I was taking muscle juice. Is the protein the reason>?

Dude, you can get acne from about a zillion different things. Has anything else changed in the past few weeks?

[ONDraft]

not in terms of nutrition

what about stress ?

not in terms of nutrition

exactly my point bro. You've changed your protien, what else has changed. I break out when I change soaps, laundry detergent, and a multitude of other shit that has nothing to do with nutrition.

depending on your age/training level, increased acne can be a good thing as it is usually associated with a raise in hormone levels. I doubt your protien is having that effect though.

There are just too many variables to make a determination, if its that bothersome, go check with a dermatologist. (just dont let him put you on accutane)

Why is accutane bad? I thought it was suppose to clear up ANY acne? Lower test levels or something?

I think it was causing Suicidal Thoughts or Actions

Yeah there were over a hundred suicides linked to it. Also birth defects or fetal death and all sorts of other problems.

too much protien causes acne. i read it in a magazine and i have proof with my body. i added 3 protien shakes a day to my diet and i started to get alot of achne on by back, arms, shoulders, and chest, not as much my face but i still got some. i had alot of acne for like 3 months while i was taking protien shakes and it went away when i stoped.

I guess everyone IS different...
