What work out supplements can I/can't I take on Accutane?

March 5, 2018
Asked By:melanie_333 in Colorado Springs, CO

Prior to starting on Accutane I was an avid lifter and I would take pre workout, BCAAs, protein, Nitric Oxide, and 5a-Hydroxy Laxogenin (laxobolic). I stopped taking them when I knew I was going to start taking tane. Now that I'm starting to lose muscle mass I want to get back in the gym but want to know what supplements are safe to take.
