Subject: Why I hate supplements...
This may come as quite a shock to 
            hear 
            but it's true...I hate supplements.
            
            Now, I do have to qualify 
            that remark, as I don't hate 
            ALL supplements...
            
            I hate the ones that make people think they 
            can eat horrible nutrition and train like idiots 
            (or not at all) while still getting the results they want.
            
            I hate the supplements that push big glossy 
            magazine ads with (let's face it) physiques that are
            unachieveable by natural means at impressionable
            young guys who want to gain muscle but don't know
            how to do it through good training and eating.
            
            I hate the supplements that prey on people
            who are so desperate to lose weight that they'll try 
            anything...even supplements with crazy side effects
            that may or may not even work.
            
            And I hate the supplements that take research 
            studies so completely out of context that they're 
            completely irrelevant to the actual people who are 
            supposed to take the supplements (when you do a
            study on starving children in an orphanage in a
            third-world country and you give them some nutrition,
            shocker...they're going to build muscle).
            
            I hate the supplements that distort the research
            that actually HAS been done on legitimate populations
            in order to prove that their garbage supplement works
            (here's a good one...those weight gain forumlas? A
            study done on those showed NO difference in results
            between taking that and equal caloric amount of 
            WHITE SUGAR...not even joking, though I wish I was. 
            They didn't include THAT in the magazine ad for it.).
            
            I hate the supplements that hide behind a 
            "proprietary formula" blend to disguise the fact that
            they have almost NONE of the active ingredient actually
            in it (yeah, if a study shows 800 mg of something is 
            required to have an effect, I'm sure adding 50 mg of 
            it in along with 750 mg of other junk will work like a charm).
            
            Okay, that's enough hating for now...
            
            What I DON'T hate are supplement companies that 
            stand behind what they put out...that do everything
            they can to ensure a high-quality product that contains 
            what it's supposed to and has enough active ingredient
            to actually DO something.
            
            There ARE good companies out there, though, 
            and that's who I choose to buy my
            supplements from.
            
            One of those companies is Blue 
            Star Nutraceuticals.
            
            I've been using several of their supplements regularly for
            the past 8 months and I've been VERY impressed not 
            only with the quality of the supplements but with their 
            overall customer service as well.
            
            They get top marks from me and I highly recommend 
            their products (check 
            those out here).
            
            As well, to give you a bit of a "nudge" to give their 
            stuff a try, I've arranged with them to get you a 35% 
            discount on almost their entire product line (everything 
            except their Iso-Smooth protein).
            
            Code: MADSCIENTIST35

            I've been using their fish oil, creatine and multi-vitamin...
            next on my list to try is their joint protection/healing 
            supplement. I have a few nagging aches I need to try 
            and take care of and the active ingredient looks promising.
            
            As well, their protein (even though it's not on the list) is 
excellent
            ...if you're in the market to try something new.
