Supplements

Supplements are just that, a supplement to your food intake.
It is wise to first clean up your lifestyle and dietary influences before embarking (and dropping a load of cash) on a large intake of isolated vitamins minerals and amino acids.
On achieving a reasonable diet that applies to your lifestyle you should then honestly access your goals with regards to fitness and health.
Many supplement have specific results and should only be used for narrow range of goals. Either way supplements will work best applied on top of a clean diet and lifestyle practices. They are not a crutch or band-aid method.

Do you have specific sports related goals?

Are health, vitality and enjoyment of a variety of pastimes important?

Are your goals competition based or body image based?

If you have sport specific goals then supplements should be based around aiding performance mainly in the form of recovery from training sessions.

If however your goals are for increased muscle mass then recovery and maximizing calorie intake will be an over riding goal of your diet and supplement choice.

If health and vitality are the primary objectives then perhaps consider concentrating on a clean diet, meditative and relaxation practices to produce the results.

Approach Supplements cautiously for sake of your wallet and your health, after you have attempted to clean up your diet and lifestyle practices. Realistically access your goals and research objectively as possible the available aids that are compatible with your goals.
What you require may not be just a pill or powder.
