Black Powder MRI Dangers

Black Power is a product developed by workout supplement purveyor, MRI. This product is geared towards generating energy in the pre-workout phase of the day and is packed with multiple energy boosting compounds. Dangers can arise during the use of Black Powder due to side effects of chemicals present in the product and chemical interactions with other medications. The product has also not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration for safety and performance so Black Powder may cause dangers in unanticipated ways.

  1. Potential Arginine Effects

    • Black Powder contains two forms of the amino acid, arginine which has several side effects and interaction dangers. According to Web MD, arginine can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and gout. Arginine can also cause difficulty breathing and may trigger asthma in those with the condition. This can be particularly dangerous in a workout setting or weightlifting session where an asthma attack could cause significant injury. Arginine can also dangerously interact with blood pressure and heart medications.

    Creatine Side Effects

    • MRI's Black Powder supplement also contains two forms of the muscle-building compound, creatine. Side effects of this drug include muscle cramping, diarrhea, stomach pain and nausea. Web MD says using creatine can harm the kidneys, liver and heart function. While those who use supplements containing creatine gain weight, it is not through muscle growth. Creatine causes muscles to retain water which can promote dehydration in a workout setting. This can be particularly dangerous when working out in high temperatures.

    Training Routines

    • Workout supplements like Black Powder put strain on the kidneys and liver to process excess magnesium, potassium and other energy boosting chemicals. Without adequate water before, during and after workouts this strain can lead to lasting damage. Overtime this can lead to kidney disease and conditions resulting from the buildup of these vitamins in the body such as hyperkalemia, which causes the body's nerves and muscles to become over-sensitive and malfunction.
