Sharapova/meldonium

[Byron27]

Has anyone heard about this stuff Maria Sharapova was taking: meldonium? I saw this video on it and it looks like some super drug is there any bodybuilding advantages or has anyone taken it?

Are there sources that hold it?

Meldonium acts to inhibit fatty acid oxidation. It will increase endurance and rehabilitation after exercise but it will actually DECREASE fat loss from training.

It's a metabolic modulator, similar to insulin.

Long story short - for endurance athletes, it could be beneficial. For bodybuilders looking to increase muscle and loose body fat, it's actually counter productive.

Try using mercury. Its a heavy metal so you will put on weight real quick. Until you die.

Its been around a long time. Lots of runners have been known to use it

tennis players play 2-3 hour matches routinely so for them its a good advantage using this, but as musky said runs counter productive to what our goals are.

i'm not even sure crossfitters would want it either.

Well, it is quite a special drug. The best part about it is that meldonium is very safe, and it barely has side effects, if any at all. Personally, I take it for recovery purposes, and for its neuroprotective properties after lacking oxygen. I suffer from apnea, and usually have a very hard time waking up and in the morning feel like beaten up. With meldonium things are much better - have more energy during the day, wake up much easier, and don't have this feeling of hangover in the morning.
