Supplements are products designed to aid performance, primarily seen in the fitness world and rampant with false information and promises. They are products that promote enhancing different abilities by boosting different internal systems of the body to give you an edge and nearly all of it is done without any scientific research.
In the US it is an unregulated industry and of all the types of products in these stores, there’s really only 3 supplements that have been scientifically researched and proven to be beneficial and provide a boost to training performance.
Creatine
is a muscle preserving and building supplement that helps maintain lean muscle mass.
Caffeine works as a stimulant to boost energy and focus.
Protein aids in muscular recovery and provides the fuel to grow strong and healthy.
No one needs to take supplements (unless advised by a physician), but if you decided to try and find an edge in your training, start and end here.
*I personally do take these 2 supplements pictured, but do not endorse that anyone should take them unless they want to of their own volition*
