Are The Supplements You’re Taking A Waste Of Money?
Deep down inside, who wouldn’t want to find a magic pill that could give them the body of their dreams? Well, the fitness industry is aware of this and as a result, there are an infinite amount of nutritional supplements on the market.
Here is the challenge: how are you supposed to separate fact from fiction? After all, I’m sure you don’t want to waste money on useless pills and powders.
So let me save you some money by shedding light on some dietary supplements that aren’t as good as they say:
1. Nitric oxide boosters: The main supplement here, Arginine, is an amino acid that the body uses to produce nitric oxide. Supplement companies claim that taking Arginine increases muscle growth and growth hormone levels. And none of the above claims are true.
2. Fat cell potentiators: The contents of fat cells have to be transported into your mitochondria before they can be burned. And carnitine is a supplement that allegedly does just that. Carnitine, however, is not going to have a substantial effect on how much fat your body burns.
3. Cell hydrators: Cells grow whenever they are hydrated. And creatine is a cell hydrator and volumizer. Creatine, however, does not work as good as the supplement companies claim. It does have an effect on your body, but don’t expect massive gains here.
4. Testosterone boosters: ZMA is the main supplement in this category. The problem with this supplement is that you can’t simply take a pill and watch your hormone levels elevate, the body is too smart for that. Once hormones go up, your body will naturally bring them right back down.
5. Supplemental protein: Taking protein in powder form is not optimal for best results. In fact, whole food sources of protein stacked with crunchy green vegetables are far better here. You see, whole sources of protein have the slowest digestion rates.
There is lots of money to be made by selling supplements. So expect many more supplements to be hitting the market again and again. The key is to not buy into the hype and stick to what has worked for centuries: regular food.
