I'm sure I'm beating a dead horse here, but I think it's a logical question. The point I'm trying to make is this.... It's no secret that your body naturally produces protein/amino acids and creatine. Or that you get them from food sources and/or supplements. Its also no secret that your body also produces insulin, testosterone, and growth hormone. So my question is why is it considered unnatural to take exogenous testosterone, insulin, and growth hormone, but its considered natural to take protein shakes, carb drinks, creatine supplements, and BCAA's? The human body either produces all the above or gets it from food source so I really don't see how you can clasify one as natural and the other as unnatural. Seems pretty hypocritical, IMO. Either way you're elevating any of the levels I listed into higher levels than the body naturally produces.
Also, if you've a health condition that causes you to take TRT prescribed from a physician, does this mean that you're not allowed to compete in natural bodybuilding competitions? Or does this mean that you're not considered a natural bodybuilder? And I'm referring to legit hypogonadism caused by a genetic condition, not caused by AAS use/abuse.
I know that this is a purely subjective discussion, but I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on the topic.
