Supplementation is a multi million dollar industry that prays off the notions that taking said supplement will be the X factor in ones fitness goals.While proper supplementation can no doubt play a role in increased exercise performance and recovery we must be critical off how efficacious these claims are.Nothing will substitute hard work and consistency and a well planned training program with proper variation and stimulus. Be critical of theses statements, do your own research, talk to people with appropriate backgrounds (Not the computer arm or juicy looking guy at GNC or Popeyes,neither really know what they are talking about) before purchasing supplements. If it seems to good to be true then 99% of the time it is, no different than in life. Stick to the basics, such as Whey protein blends as they have been extensively studied and proven to provide the fastest absorption times post workout compared to other protein sources, Creatine, also extensively studied and has a plethora of research supporting its efficacy, BCAAs, Inter workout supplements containing a carbohydrate/AA/lactate complex, Fish oils, Caffeine just to name a few that have supported research.....Point being, be a smart consumer,do your homework before you blindly purchase the new hotness in the supplement industry, remember at the end of the day its a business just like anything else making money by any means necessary is always king...Point two is i always research the claims behind the supplements i purchase and i recently found an awesome study supporting the validity of my trusty Inter Workout drink CytoMax and one of its main ingredients PolyLactate. plosone.org/article/fetchObject.action?uri=info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0000927&representation=PDF
