Can taking bodybuilding supplements harm the FUE?

Question

I had started a supplements course in fitness before i made my FUE (1.5 month ago). The supplements include Whey protein, amino acids, fat burner, test booster, oestrogen blocker. I plan to return back to my training. My question is about if these supplements can affect my FUE (negative or positive way)

Thank you for your question, Abd. It depends on the ingredients of the supplement. It is best for you to consult with the board certified facial plastic surgeon performing your transplant.Best wishes,
