Supplements Exposed

[IMT staff]

The start of the New Year coincides with increased sales of gym memberships, diet books, fitness magazines, personal trainers, exercise videos, clothing and of course supplements. Everyone is looking for that magic pill, powder or drink that promises a tight stomach with no work.

Here's a reality check: THERE'S NO SUCH THING!

Because of all the misinformation out there, supplements can be a very controversial and misunderstood subject. There are almost no supplements that live up to the claims made by supplement companies. When you see ads that claim a supplement works as good, or feels like a particular anabolic steroid, or other drug, do not buy it. There is no such thing as a supplement that builds muscle or strength, or aids in weight loss like a drug. Moreover, be wary of endorsements -- do not rely on them to make your decision. Do your own research.

Below you'll find a list of different supplements and foods with a description of each. The list is short, because so many supplements are just repackaged knock-offs of competing products, with the hope that you'll be ignorant enough to spend your money. Writing an article including just 10 percent of the supplements in production would not only be redundant, but a waste of your time. Just know there are very few supplements out there worth your money.

Wait, you mean Cell-Tech isn't going to add 20lbs of LEAN MUSCLE MASS! in 2 weeks? It still blows my mind that the supplement industry is so huge for selling mostly garbage that isn't proven to work (the placebo effect is amazing) or is severely underdosed. I'm one of those guys that was taken in by the great arginine+boron debacle in the early 90's myself. Great article by the way!
