Muscle supplements are the buzz around the gym these days. Anything from what works or are they safe to how to take them. The most important being what actually works. There is often so much hype involving some of these products it makes you wonder if it’s just another false promise. You see them advertised in magazines, read reviews online which more often than not are reviewed by representatives of the product. You can find many online forums out there that have actual reviews for the product, but just how accurate is it? These reviewers often get free product in exchange for a good review. This further misrepresents the product leaving you to wonder if that 49.95 purchase just made your wallet lighter instead of producing results. This has been going on for years now and you know what? It’s not going to change anytime soon. The only thing we as consumers can do is educate ourselves. No, you don’t have to become a fitness guru either!
Don’t get me wrong, there are muscle supplements out there that actually work. However, there is just way to many products out there that do little except for the occasional upset stomach or dizziness associated with product use. Often times, a company will take creatine, add a ton of ectra chemicals to it and than make it out to be the holy-grail of supplements that will produce extraordinary results. Oh, I forgot to mention that they will bang you out for 50 bucks for it too. The people that take it rather to claim nothing happened or it works like a charm. The only thing they may have felt was the stimulants pumped into the product that gives you zero muscle gain. Here’s and idea, want to experience the same thing for a lot less money? Just buy creatine and take it with a caffeine. You will get the same result for a whole lot less money. Creatine by itself is actually good and it works. Yeah, it’s one of the few true supplements out there. Don’t worry though, all is not lost.
There are a few things that you can do to protect yourself:
1. Ask for a sample of the product before you buy.
2. Find out if the manufacturer will refund costs and accept the unused portion back for a refund.
3. Make sure there is actually a way to contact the manufacturer by telephone.
These are just some extra steps you can take to protect yourself and your wallet. The next time you see one of these crazy ads advertised in a magazine or online, I want you to laugh at it, and remember my article.
In the supplement industry, there are many fly-by-night companies who are open for business one day only to have disappeared the next day. Thats why I always recommend buying from a well-known company. That does not mean well known companies don’t sell junk, it just means if you purchase their product you don’t have to worry about them vanishing into thin air if you ever need more information or to make a complaint.
What about the best bodybuilding supplement?
The best bodybuilding supplement does not exist. However, the one’s that help you achieve your goals do.
