disregarding the source/credibility, what do you think of the top 8 picks they chose, do you agree/disagree?
The list is pretty unbiased and they only chose types of supplements and not actual brands (i.e. creatine vs glutamine, not BMR vs Muscle Tech vs ON)
8. Glutamine
7. fat burners
6. Beta-alanine
5. Multi Vitamins
4. Creatine monohydrate
3. meal replacements - e.g. protein bar or weight gainers
2. whey protein
1. omega-3 from seal oil
pre workouts not in the top 8... only supplements I regularly take are whey protein, multi vitamins and omega-3. Currently consuming creatine at the moment.
I guess you can say I agree with their list
I mean, the ingredients matter when it comes to burners and gainers, but otherwise if it was in no order, it makes sense. Where I'd argue is that you don't need meal replacement bars or gainers when you can just eat food; whey is great because it's a bitch to get enough protein if you're looking to make serious gains. And multi-vitamins are 100% a waste if you have a good diet. Moreover most multis force your body to buffer against acidity, which is needless and potentially harmful; and some may draw calcium in the process. The omega-3 choice is just what's available, otherwise they wouldn't pick seal oil. Any list will have its problems but that list is ... solid.
