Why People Avoid Muscle Extract
People, particularly those following vegan or vegetarian diets, avoid muscle extract because it is derived from animal sources. Vegans abstain from consuming any animal products, and muscle extract is directly sourced from animal flesh, making it unsuitable for their dietary preferences. Additionally, individuals with ethical concerns about animal rights and welfare may also choose to avoid products containing muscle extract.
