Let’s face it – Most Supplements simply don’t work!!!! Or do they?
There are too many magic formulas out there that can’t back up their claims.
“Take this and lose your gut overnight”
“Rub this on your arm and watch your biceps grow instantly”
“Increase your vertical jump by three inches just by drinking this”
“Increase your bench press 30 lbs in 10 days – just take this”
I can go on for 10 pages of false claims I’ve seem supplement companies promise – only to see people get sucked in to waste their money.
If you know me personally I know what you are thinking – “but I’ve seen you take supplements for years, how can you say they don’t work”
Well, that’s why I know they don’t work! I was that high school athlete that always was working to get the advantage. I work my but off in the gym, on the practice field and I was sucked in just like you – I took every next best supplement that came out, only to find myself with an empty pocket and no result from whatever it was I was taking.
Fast forward 10 years later, I now find myself at Optimal Performance teaching elite athletes the proper ways to get bigger, faster and stronger through good eating and training habits. I do however, recommend supplements to all my athletes and even take some myself too.
WHAT???? YOU JUST SAID THEY DON”T WORK!!!!
I said most.
Let’s get one thing straight – there are some supplements that I think are absolutely necessary not just for athletes, but people from all walks of life, and they are the following;
Quality multi – vitamin, probiotic, & fish oil – to fill the nutritional gaps that we don’t get due to always dieting or simply because the food we eat today just doesn’t give us the nutrition we need
Quality Protein supplement – to fill in the nutritional void of protein that most people don’t get enough of
Now if you are an athlete or a fitness ‘buff’, I would add
A quality Pre-workout formula that isn’t saturated with caffeine and stripped away from amino-acids
A quality post workout drink
An efficient hydration formula that isn’t flooded with too much sodium and not enough potassium
Ok, I know what you’re thinking, first I go on about how supplements suck, and then I preach a host of 5-6 supplements that are necessities…
The key word in all the supplements listed above is “QUALITY”! If you eat crap you’ll fell like crap right?
Same thing with supplements, you have to take high quality supplements that have little to no filler. That’s why I highly recommend Ascenital Bioscience’s line of products. They are in a league of their own when it comes to nutrition products and elevating health and performance!
Again, if you know me at all, then you know if I stand behind a product I have to fully believe in it. And for me to recommend my athletes and fitness clients something, it means I probably take it myself. With that said you U hope you assume that I am a 100% Ascential Bioscience endorser.
