Ammonia Like Smell In The Shower.

Anyone else getting this?:

I have been getting an "ammonia smell" coming off me in the shower straight after a workout.
I read in some else's post that it's a sign of Protein being burned for energy?
Could it be hypoglycemia?

Thanks,
P
 
i have hypoglycemia, i have had 3 glucose test done over a 6 year period, all came back hypoglycemia. and i have never experienced that. it may be caused by hypoglycemia, but i have never had that happen
 
It could be that you are eating such large quantities of protein that your body is excreting high amounts or deamylated protein and ureic acid. Your skin functions as a waste disposal organ as well as a defense barrier against external pathogens.

Perhaps your gyms plumbing system cesspol is back washing and sewage gasses are escaping through the drains in the floor.
 
It's also could be a sign of overtraining :(. When your body breaks down muscle protein, that's an effect people seem to experience.

Could just be your body breaking down your dietary protein however.
 
When amino acids are "burned" as a fuel, ammonia (NH3] is the waste product. Ammonia must be carried to the liver, converted to urea and excreted by the kidneys. One of the penalties of amino acid excess is ammonia excess, a potential cause of body malfunction following a high protein meal. The blood measurement of urea nitrogen (BUN) shows the balance between urea production by the liver and excretion by the kidneys. The BUN rises in kidney failure and serves as a measure of ammonia or nitrogen. In liver disease, reduced ability to synthesize urea leads to ammonia accumulation

Since each person is different and their body reacts differently to the use of protein as a fuel source, the amount of ammonia produced is different. This could be why you smell it and others dont.

You're not peeing in the shower are you?:D

Seriously though, I agree w/Enigmaxx - you'd have other symptoms if it were hypoglycemia.
 
Thats happened to me before to bro. It alway happens when I am dieting very hard. I always took it as a sign of protein being burned like the other bros said. Hope this helps.
 
I don't smell it coming off of me in the shower, but when I take off my shirt I can smell it. It is rather distrurbing, but I asked my wife if she smelled it and she said no-so probably nobody else is smelling your stink ass either:D BTW, I always pee in the shower, and it always stinks because I take ALA about half and hour before I shower-glad that smell doesn't eminate from my skin:p

I've been getting the same thing since I started my cycle; I have no clue what it is.

LOL, Then he'd smell like a Dago or a Wop. Are those terms Politically correct? Oh well you know what I mean. One of those guys that always says "How ya doin?"
 
Foods such as (especially)eggs, spinach, broccoli, some meats, and whey protein will make you excrete ammonia through urine and sweat.

Im Italian and I dont take kindly to that statement! Would it be ok to call a black guy a "Nigger", a Jewish guy a "Kike", or a spanish person a "Spic" NO! Of course not, because its not right!! Grow up!
 
You may be dehydrated. I've noticed after football practice and other very rigorous workouts, that I smell like ammonia. The more water I drink, the less I smell of it.

Chill dude, I asked if it was PC. I have no idea because as you can tell I don't use the word regularly. By the way I am Jewish and black. No wonder nobody likes me.

And my girlfriend is Spanish.
 
I noticed the same thing too, but i didnt pay any attention to it. I assume this is not something that one wants to happen, so whats the way to remedy this? More water?, less protein?, more deodorant? lol

No I don't pee in the shower!

I also get this when showering at home.

I only eat around 150g of Protein a day.

So I take it its a dehydration thing?

I just hope its not my body breaking down its own muscle?!?

:bawling:
 
damn, it's good to see i'm not the only one with this problem. i also get the occasional ammonia funk, usually in the shower after a workout is when i notice it.
 
I've been chatting to other bros about this and conclude that it's due to insufficient carbs pre-workout.
I'm going to up my carbs and see if it makes a difference?

I've smelled it before in the gym while working out, and in fact I smelled like that today. I belieeve It's from the high amount protein I eat.
 
I have noticed occasionally I can smell a bit unpleasant at the moment. About the only thing I am doing differently is eating vastly more protein than usual.

I wouldn't get too worried about liver or kidney toxicity. Common sense would tend to suggest there'd be more dramatic signs of organ malfunction than simple body odour.
 
I have a sauna every day after I work out. It sweats all the crap out of your body which should help fight body odour. It helps with muscle recovery too. Opening up your pores also prevents acne.
 
glutamine

glutamine is supposed to remove ammonia from the body, could help with your stink problem.
 
I was reading in the book of natural remedies that the ammonia is caused by an abundance of Protein waste in the system (as weve established). It also said that the Amino Acid L-Ornithine was very effective at detoxifying the liver and removing Ammonia from your system. It also said that the Ornithine's effectiveness was enhanced when it was combined with L-Arginine or L-Carnitine. It also said that Ornithine should not be used by those with Neurological problems or are prone to panic attacks. So if the smell continues maybe this will help.
