There have been many discussions and a general anti sentiment attitude towards supplements. What works and what does not work? Well, that is a loaded question. It really depends on you, the user and what your diet and training is like. Supplements are just that - something to give you an edge on your training. I will tell you that if your diet and training are not locked down, then taking supplements and expecting them to give you the results you want is spinning your wheels. There are no magic pills. Bodybuilding or just staying in shape takes hard work and dedictation along with a dedicated diet. The supplement industry is a muti billion dollar a year machine. Now, if people did not think supplements actually worked, do you think there would be that kind of money spent on them? Well, IMO there are some things that work and some things that are totally useless. I think you can also break it down into several different catagories. You can go from the minimum basics like creatine, a multi vitamin and a good protein product, to literally thousands of other products that claim to do anything you are looking for. Choosing the right supplement or from the right company may be a tough task. You also have to wade through all the marketing crap and hype to actually compare ingredient profiles. Where you purchase supplements and what you pay for them is also important.
I want to use this thread as a place for questions and answers about any products. I don't want it to turn into a poll type thread where a question such as "what protein is best" type of thing, but use it more toward specific type questions of products.
