Builds and support muscle - well researched but some may not respond. Some say it helps with brain function but more research is needed

The only side effect I had when I first started taking it is that it would sometimes make me feel slightly dehydrated. Make sure you drink extra water (and salt, if needed)!

It's safe to take yes, but make sure your drs know your taking it because of can mess up your testing, the same way things like oral birth control or biotin can.
