Supplement reviews
G'day all, not sure of that many that know of my
backgorund but here is some info. I have been training off and on for 20 years.
In this time i have used almost all available supplements. The supplement
industry is now worth in excess of 7 billion US per year and is tipped to rise
to 12 billion within 5 years. Out of all these companys that manufacture
supplements or have them done for them buy another company there are many
useless and worthless supplements that offer no benefit to the trainee at all
except to deprive of some hard earend cash. Marketing takes precedent over
performance. However there are supplements that do work, that do offer
performance when training and some even have an anabolic effect on building lean
muscle.
Last year on another forum i started a supplement review thread
after recieving some samples from a few companys. Being lactose intolerant means
not all protein powders will work for me depending on what is used. I also
review all pre/during and post workout drinks, Amino Acid based drinks, RTD's,
Bars and fat burners. I have probably had over $3000 free product during the
year and have a thread with 22 pages, 8200 views and over 300 posts. I am
duplicating this thread here now with the mods permission (thanks Shrek) to help
anyone with supplements.
While i dont do recomendations as such or am i
biased to any brand there are references to the brands thanking them for the
support that i recieve for reviewing the supplements. Do not get this mixed up
with me trying to flog there products. If i think a product is crap, then its
crap. I have unbiased, honest and fair opinions of these products. I use a star
system being 1-5, 5 being best and 0 worst. I also post up the nutritional info,
investigate where the ingredients come from and a cost per serve.
This
information is designed to help you with supplement decision making only. Please
dont use my thread as a brand bash or criticise the products. Most of the brand
owners/managers/distributors read my threads from here and oversea"s. Keep it
clean. If you have a question feel free to ask. I will be copy and pasting all
of my review's up to now and then all future replys. Enjoy the ride.
