Supplements that actually work
July 8th, 2007 by JennyIt is easy to buy in to the claims made by manufacturers, especially when they are enndorsed by ridiculously hot models (who have probably never even tried what they’re selling) and backed up by statistics that suggest dramatic benefits.
Supplements are just that – products made to supplement a healthy diet and exercise program. They can help, but only as part of a balanced diet and regular exercise program. You can not sit around popping pills all day and get in shape….sorry, I wish it were that easy, too.
Having said that, there are several supplements that have been proven in independent studies to show significant benefits. I have tried some myself and seen the benefits first hand. For every one I have tried, there are a few I’ve seen no results from.
So how can you figure out which supplements are worth your time? My advice is to stay away from hot new off the shelf products. They are generally much more expensive, and have not necessarily been proven safe or effective. But they sell. Why? Because people want a quick fix.
Do your research and find the products that consistently show benefits. I will be compiling some resources and making more posts to aid in your research efforts. In the next few posts, I’ll go over the products I take that have always shown results.
Until then, stick to your fitness plans and make educated decisions about diet aids. Stay strong!
