Is this 1). Safe for 18 year olds?
2). Does it make you "not natty" aka considered as an enhanced lifter?
3). Is this a steroid?
4). Would you take it?
5). Why or Why not?

    It does not appear to be a steroid or banned substance by major doping agencies as far as I can tell. If you are planning on competing in a specific sport, I would check with their governing body.

    I would not take this supplement or anything like it as supplements are unregulated and you never know what you are getting or if it will be safe. If you want to build muscle, a slight calorie surplus, progressive overload weight program, and sufficient protein, will be all you need. I

    But if we want to accelerate muscle building and if we plateu or stop seeing progress after months and months, should we?

    No one can answer that question for you but you. Me? Nope. Deload and go from there. Maybe a new program. At some point we reach our genetic potential and it becomes difficult to make progress.

    I cant bench 135 hahah. I used to do it for 7-8 but now even 1 is a struggle

    Great way to waste money, not a steroid, not tested properly in humans, not a short cut for hard work and/or proper nutrition
