tetracycline and protein synthesis

[vaffancullo]

does tetracycline effect muscle building protein synthesis? ive taken tetracycline in the past and it has worked decently especially with infected acne.. i was wondering if this will effect me gaining more muscle?

 

[mike ross]

theoretically, yes. real world experience, no studies have been done and i have never seen it personally

Builds a good case for Vitamin B5 if it does.

Id try the Vitiman B5 too...any idea where to get some, Sup1?

Tetracycline will kill the good digestive bacteria, possibly affecting protein digestion (surely will affect overall digestion to some degree). Whether it would be significant I dont know.

i heard about people using vit. b for acne, right?

I had a huge problem with acne, and the thing that has helped me a ton and has been a miracle worker, is ProActiv, the stuff on the infomercial. That stuff has cleared up my face so much. Tanning helps me with body acne.
