Fat burners before puberty?
I’m 18 years old … going on 19 in less than a month … I haven’t fully hit puberty yet as I still haven’t really started shaving yet .. (just some hair on upper lip and chin) …
I’m also a body builder … been lifting weights for over a year now with breaks every now and then.. and I exercise vigorously in some cycles … and go easy on some others .. and I used to sprint before.. but I don’t anymore … I’m 5’5″ .. and about 158 lbs .. with 11-13 % body fat, and I know about healthy diets and how to organize them … but I don’t have the time to keep a healthy balanced diet these days as I’m over occupied with studies and so on.
So I was kind of wondering is it alright for me to take thermogenic fat burners.. USPlabs OxyELITE Pro in particular.

and since all fat burners have the “don’t take if you’re under 18 warning” I was kind of wondering if it’s alright for me to take if I still haven’t fully hit puberty yet ..
and I was kinda wondering if it will affect my puberty rate (at the age of 16 .. I lost about 25 kgs in two months or so … and I think that affected my puberty rate in some way).. so I just wanted to know if this will have any bad side effects in the future…
Thanks for your help.

Fatburners are a bad idea period, but if you must, ask your doctor for a prescription fatburner instead of buying from the internet.
