Supplementation F.A.Q.

What supplements actually work?

It depends on what you mean by "work". Does "work" mean making the supplement companies rich? If so, the answer is - many supplements "work".

If "work" means increasing muscle mass or decreasing fat mass without a proper training and nutritional program the answer is - no supplements "work".

If "work" means supplementing the sound training and nutritional programs that have taken you to the upper limits of your genetic potential then the answer is - several supplements "work".

Here's our list of the top 4 nutritional supplements, all of which should be in your nutritional regimen regardless of your athletic pursuit:

  • Post Workout Nutrition (Surge)
  • Protein Supplements (blends rather than whey or casein alone)
  • Essential Fatty Acids like Fish Oil and Flaxseed Oil
  • Antioxidant Formula

Here's our list of the top 3 "specialty supplements" that can help with muscle gain and/or fat loss during specific periods of the year:

  • Creatine
  • 4-Androstenediol (sublingual, transdermal, or oral when esterified with an ethyl carbonate group)
  • Ephedrine and caffeine containing fat loss products (but be careful)

And here's our list of the top 3 "specialty supplements" for athletes:

  • Sitosterols
  • Phosphatidylserine
  • Chondroiton

Any other supplements, in our opinion, don't match up when a cost to benefit analysis is performed. Top

How do I find a specific article or articles about a specific topic?

Use our search engine to type in the name of the article you're looking for if you know what it's called. If not, type in a string of words that you're certain that the article will contain. For example, if you type in Jenna Jameson, you'll link directly to this page (and will probably be disappointed because if you searched for Jenna at Yahoo! you would have gotten a different result).
