are all supplements a billion dollar rippoff - Page 2 - UK-Muscle Body Building Community

Creatine was used as a supplement and most athletes KNEW it worked before the science caught up and did enough studies to prove that it worked.

I think this may be applied to a lot of new supplements, the ones that actually work, and the bodybuilding public is like the clinical trial, will either be around in 5-10 years as they do work, or they won't as they don't.

Interesting thing in a recent New Scientist about the pro-biotic drinks, 90% of the bacteria in these drinks is killed by the acidic conditions in the stomach or the process of digestion.

When is someone going to pull these manufacture up?

Or all those bloody diet foods! Low fat but full of sugar!

I am glad that Special K is getting a hard time about their diet plan. Most breakfast cereals are just JUNK!

Last time I had Special K, about 2 years ago, all I could taste was SALT.

What sort of diet is that, two to three bowls of cereal in a day! Madness!

I think that there is a place for supplements. On the food/supplement thing i find, with the exception of pwo, if i only eat whole foods i feel overfull and after a couple of days i lose my appetite.
Conversly, if i replace more than 1 meal with mrp i feel low on energy, even if the nutrient breakdown is similar to a whole meal.
So, supplements should be used to an individuals needs.

Also with the pro-biotic drinks, the manufacturers can claim that it is the remaining 10% that provides the benefits, which would be hard to prove other wise.

I myself have to take the pro-biotic supplements, if I dont my athletes foot flairs up and I put this down to yeast (candida).
