Supplements worth your money and time

[Coach Chris]

It is an interesting listen for sure. The message I get, whether correct or not, is that there is not much that reliably helps you make gains other than consistent hard work, creatine, and protein if you are deficient. I have tried all sorts of supplements over the years with variable expectations. Having that money back sure would be nice.

Love me some Dr Mike. I've managed to cut out all the bs in my supplement routine, I used to powerlift competitive when I was 17-21 and wasted so much money on random crap. Now its a stack of multivitamins, whey isolate, creatine mono and cranberry juice.

 

[wanderingwolf24]

Creatine, protein, iron supplement...and a lot of hard work!

 

[mtwarden]

Yup—creatine, protein and hard work

 

[thinhorn_AK]

Creatine, protein, fish oil.

Heck, I even give my dogs creatine.

My favorite supplement is Vitamin T. Training.

 

[JohnDough]

Gear or just proper nutrition and hydration and sleep. The rest of it is rubbish.

Other than creatine I dont use much, I will supplement protein occasionally but really its not that hard to hit the 1g per lb number just eating meat for me but I do an 80-90% carnivore diet anyway.

Attia and Huberman did an episode together not that long ago on supplements and Attia's statement was an analogy of supplement are about as important is weather they were serving steak or lobster on the Titanic the night it sank. Can they give you some incremental benefits? sure but its not a game changer.

Outside of a multi vitamin I do take fish oil, magnesium and vitamin d though have little expectation that it does much and little interest in adding anything to it. I am pretty religious about creatine though.
