Bodybuilding Supplements – How Much Is Too Much?
February 3rd, 2010
Whenever I go into a GNC or some other Sports Nutrition Store I get a headache from being overwhelmed of the amount of supplements that all claim “big gains” and “improved performance.” From Creatine to L-Glutamine they are all claiming they can “work.” I bought a few supplements not to long ago but after awhile it basically makes me feel very “sick.” I mean I am trying to find out what really works out there and it seems like what really works will sooner or later get pulled off the shelf. After awhile buying supplements can put a big dent in your wallet. So what really works?

eating right and excerise works.. if your eating your fruits and veggies and taking a multi vitamin everyday you should be fine.. If your lifting weights just make sure you have protien. IMO supplements are there to break your wallet. spend that money on a good gym membership.
Good Luck
Supplements don’t have to be scientifically tested in order to be sold – it is a totally free and unregulated market. (That’s why all the sales literature have those little footnotes saying things like “the FDA hasn’t approved this..”) So any information about what works and what doesn’t work is pretty much anecdotal. It is difficult to determine how well stuff like this works from just a single individual – you need a pretty large sample group. The answers you’ll get to your ‘what really works’ question on a forum like this will mostly be from individuals who may or may not have a real clue. Frankly it would be almost impossible for any individual to know whether a supplement ‘really’ worked for them or not.
Eating well is a much better bet. People pay real money to have real scientist (not marketing scientist who sell supplements) to understand the biology of human nutrition. Save your money and either takes some classes on nutrition or get a dietitian to help you with a customized diet.
creatine and protein will never be taken off the shelf and if used correctly with a proper training and diet routine will give amazing results
Keep a limit on Protein intake – can cause damage to the kidneys.
NO explode works with out making you feel sick.
