No roids. Only things in supplement are:

L-Glutamine
NO2 drinks
Protein (derp derp)
Electrolyte mix
Fish Oil

stretch marks don't go away.. but they're not dangerous. tanning may make the stretch marks less visible though. but they're just a sign of a muscle growing faster than the skin around it. having a diet that is lacking in certain minerals also makes you more prone to stretch marks, because your skin gets less pliable. so either improve your diet or take a multivit-min supp.

stretch marks are kinda normal, would be nice to get a pic of exactly what your talking about though.

are you losing bf%?

stretch marks are gonna happen for any rapid increase/decrease in size

yea they are normal and any good lifter will get them. i got them because i used to be straight up tiny and now it looks like a got surgery marks on both shoulders. not pretty but whatever. the ones on the bicep ahve really started to fade tho, so i think youll be ok. however, not everyones skin stretches the same way, obviously. anyways, dont worry about it, its an inevitable hassle of lifting. i've heard putting lotion on the area helps. If you see some stretch marks, putting some lotion might make the skin a little softer and stretchier to prevent more stretch marks. that being said, im too lazy so who gives a fuck.

i REALLY hope you're trolling. the only people that says it works are the retards that can't admit they wasted money on it, the retards susceptible to the placebo effect, and the supplement peddlers with their shitty marketing at said retards.

now YOU google up one UNBIASED, SCIENTIFIC research paper thats it does work.

That would be everyone on the planet.

Anyway, don't underestimate the power of the placebo effect. The mind can do some awesome or horrible things, if you can trick it.

you can think it works all you want but its been proven not to.
if whatever you're buying has at least 3g of creatine per serving then id say its worth it just for that.

Not the guy you were talking to, but Nitric Oxide won the Nobel Prize for Physiology in 1998.

http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/medicine/laureates/1998/illpres/

Supplements that advertise NO effects are based on the same vasodialating principle/effect.

FUCKING FACEPALM I KNOW WHAT NITRIC OXIDE IS BUT THESE SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT AFFECT IT YOU WOULD NEED TO DRINK THE ENTIRE FUCKING TUB OF THESE THINGS TO SEE A RISE IN BLOOD FLOW. AND EVEN THEN MOST OF THEM DO NOT EVEN TELL YOU HOW MUCH ARGININE IS CONTAINED IN THEM. AND ARGININE HAS A BV OF ABOUT 30% WHEN CONSUMED ORALLY. MAYBE YOU SHOULD START SHOVING THEM IN YOUR ASS. BETTER YET JUST SHOVE THE WASTED CASH IN YOUR ASS.

the nutritional value of vegetables is far, far less than it was years ago.
