And we’re back for more of 6 Common Supplements and How They Work.
For those of you just tuning in, Part I covered Protein, BCAAs, and Fish Oil. Here in Part II we will look at Creatine, Pre-Workouts, and Multivitamins. Disclaimer: If you don’t have sound nutrition habits, no supplement will save you. Nothing on this list is a magic pill for ditching the Dad-bod. Also, keep in mind that the FDA doesn’t regulate ANY supplements. No one checks them for quality or even to make sure they contain the stuff listed on the label. Supplements are the freakin’ wild west of exercise nutrition. And now, for the exciting conclusion of 6 Common Supplements and How They Work!!

Supplements. There is no part of fitness with higher expectations and lower regulations. I’ve received so many supplement questions over my life as a trainer, my answers could fill a couple books.
Instead, I’ll spare you some time and condense the info to the important parts: what they are, how they work, how to use it, and my personal recommendations for which brand to use.

Disclaimer: If you don’t have sound nutrition habits, no supplement will save you. Nothing on this list is a magic pill for ditching the Dad-bod. Also, keep in mind that the FDA doesn’t regulate ANY supplements. No one checks them for quality or even to make sure they contain the stuff listed on the label. Supplements are the freakin’ wild west of exercise nutrition. That said, here are the supplements I use and/or recommend. I’m sure the salesman at your local supp shop will disagree, but (except in specific situations) you don’t need anything but this list. Here we go! |
