Combination of Hydroxycut and painkillers destroys muscles
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition in which muscle tissue breaks down. The muscle cells leak their contents into the blood, and this in turn leads to kidney damage.
The guy had taken Adderall briefly – an amphetamine given to people with ADHD – to help him study. And he had stepped up his training programme to get fitter. The Hydroxycut supplement was meant to help him with this.
But it wasn't just the Hydroxycut that was responsible. The guy also took painkillers.Because he didn't like pain, he used all sorts, like naproxen and cyclobenzaprine. As a result he didn't notice what was happening to his muscles.
Behold the tragedy of the synthetic generation. Without pills the synthetic generation is incapable of learning. Without pills the synthetic generation is incapable of hard training. That's not such a problem. But the synthetic generation can't deal with pain either.
