Evidence-base for supplements

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the links !

Had a look through them, an athens account is always a handy thing to

have! Seems like none of the popular supplements have any evidence

behind them, except for creatine, which has a little bit of evidence,

but still needs to be researched further. Anyone disagree with this?

I'm taking creatine atm, not too sure if it's doing anything for me

other than improving my motivation to train because I'm taking it!

Creatine is the most studied supplement in history. The efficacy is extremely

well established in the literature. The subject has been been discussed ad

infinitum, ad nauseam in this forum. Please peruse the archives. Creatine safety

and efficacy is a non-issue. To learn more about proper supplementation, may I

suggest Optimum Sports Nutririon by  Colgan, PhD Convinced myself, I
