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
Details: Save 35% on all products except Iso-Smooth.
Begins: RIGHT NOW
Ends: Thursday, Feb. 13th - midnight
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.
