Diuretics

What are diuretics?

Diuretics are products that stimulate the excretion of excess water stored in the body. Excess water retention can not only worsen muscle definition and give you a spongy, bloated appearance, but can also have negative effects on blood pressure.

What are the benefits of natural diuretics compared to the prescription diuretics widely used by bodybuilders?

Prescription diuretics can have serious side effects as they often cause the excretion of vital electrolytes such as potassium. This can upset the body's electrolyte balance, which in extreme cases can lead to life-threatening conditions and has almost cost some competitive bodybuilders their lives. In contrast, diuretics based on natural ingredients and plant extracts such as dandelion extract, horsetail extract, uva ursi extract, juniper extract, hydrangea extract, celery seed extract, nettle extract, cranberry extract and parsley extract are practically free of undesirable side effects and have no negative influence on the electrolyte balance.

Who can benefit from the use of diuretics?

Among the most common users of diuretics are bodybuilders who want to eliminate water stored under the skin to achieve a harder and more defined look for a competition or photo shoot. Since many anabolic steroids can promote water retention due to conversion to estrogen, diuretics are also popular among users of such performance-enhancing substances. Athletes in other disciplines use diuretics to reduce their body weight in the short term so that they can compete in a lower weight class. However, the use of diuretics is not limited to athletes. Non-athletes are also increasingly using diuretics to eliminate unwanted water retention. Furthermore, people who suffer from high blood pressure can benefit from the use of diuretics, as excess water retention can further aggravate high blood pressure.
