Pick Just One Supplement!

Lately, I've been spending way too much money on various supplements and not sure if any are working. If you had to pick one supplement to buy that works... what would it be and why?

A good protein
 
It really depends on what you want and what you already use. Protein sure, but if you're eating 300 grams of protein from food, it's not a necessity.

Supplements are meant to be used to support and enhance gains and that comes from many places -- nutrients, hormone elevation, increases blood supply, focus, endurence, etc, etc etc, If you're serious, you'll use the ones that'll help you.

It's like asking if you can only do one exercise or eat one kind of food.

Honestly, this is one thing everyone should use no matter what. It ain't sexy but it's a must: http://proteinfactory.com/shop/product.php?productid=427&cat=0&page=1

multis are a must
 
Due to time, (work and family commitments) location, and financial constraints, I would not realistically be able to consistently consume 300 grams of protein per day through strictly food, so I would choose Whey Protein Isolate as the only supplement. It would supplement my normal food intake making sure I got enough to replenish and build muscle mass.

"Whey protein is a naturally complete protein, meaning that it contains all of the essential amino acids required in the daily diet. It has the ideal combination of amino acids to help improve body composition and enhance athletic performance.
Whey protein is a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), containing the highest known levels of any natural food source. BCAAs are important for athletes since unlike the other essential amino acids, they are metabolized directly into muscle tissue and are the first ones used during periods of exercise and resistance training. Whey protein provides the body with BCAAs to replenish depleted levels and start repairing and rebuilding lean muscle tissue.
Whey protein is an excellent source of the essential amino acid, leucine. Leucine is important for athletes as it plays a key role in promoting muscle protein synthesis and muscle growth. Research has shown that individuals who exercise benefit from diets high in leucine and have more lean muscle tissue and less body fat compared to individuals whose diet contains lower levels of leucine. Whey protein isolate has approximately 50% more leucine than soy protein isolate.
Whey protein is a soluble, easy to digest protein and is efficiently absorbed into the body. It is often referred to as a "fast" protein for its ability to quickly provide nourishment to muscles.
Whey protein helps athletes maintain a healthy immune system by increasing the levels of glutathione in the body. Glutathione is an anti-oxidant required for a healthy immune system and exercise and resistance training may reduce glutathione levels. Whey protein helps keep athletes healthy and strong to perform their best."

I'd love to use PF's multi and Bug Blast but they are too expensive for me...at least at this time of my life....

If you took just 2 caps a day a bottle will last 2 months and it'll still be more potent than most anything else.
 
I've tried the super high protein diet and I don't believe in it. Didn't do shit except make me fart a lot. Your body can only process so much protein. Creatine is my supplement of choice.
 
A protein powder, that goes without saying. I just started desicated liver tabs and BCAA's along with my normal creatine and glutamine peptides, but these are all WAY behind a good protein powder. -DOC

Honestly G-covery

its our most humble product but in many ways so POTENT.


now that shocked me. why do you say that especially amongst all the debate over glutamines results?
 
I dont know Mobro

its just works so well, its not a large seller, and tastes like sh*t
but those of us that use , use its religiously

there is just something about it.
 
Well at least you gave an honest answer...unless you're over stocked! LOL. Cheap enough to give it a try if you can really tell the difference. AMP is working out great at 5 caps man. thx.

try 12 caps bro

crippling pumps

in a good way :)
 
get a SD clone or a PP clone
the natty guys seems to be making progress with that

CEL is a good company..

make sure you run pct right
 
No one can argue protein...

but if I could only get one other supplement... an ECA stack. Now since they're almost impossible to come by combined, I'd go with Tight or Xenedrine, then add in 24mg's (8mg tabs x 3) of ephedrine.

b_light hit it... better stamina, and a boosted metabolism.
 
I'm surprised that I'm the only one that mentioned creatine. Creatine is the next best thing to steroids.

I got up to 7 but it started making me all jittery. might try 12 once just for the hell of it! i'd like to feel a good pump. i get a pretty darn good one from it now though.
 
Protein can not be the best supplement im just sorry. How do you think arnie and all the old timers got big without the shakes? You can easily eat egg whites or something in place of a shake.

No need to be sorry, but just more realistic.. Arnold at that time didn't have a wife, two kids and work in a manufacturing plant for 10 plus hours a day, etc.. etc.. Also some of the 'famous' oldtimers did have families and certain jobs, but many of the stories they've told were that their jobs supported time they needed to train, eat etc...

Many/most of us do not have that luxury.. Times are different now bro..
 
Protein shakes are essentially because it's the easiest way to get a lot of necessary protein with relitively fe overall calories. It's a must. But it's just food. (Though one might argue that plasma protein serum is another catagory altogether).

When I think of supplements I think more in terms of either concentrated versions of nutrients that would require more food than is realistic, (i.e a multi) or a substance which affects the body in a way that it goes beyond its natural potential.
