Supplements are HUGE in fitness. While that may come as no surprise to most of you, I don’t mean that supplements are a huge factor to your fitness success, I mean they are a huge factor in the success of the fitness industry. Supplements fund the entire industry. Your favorite fitness magazine and web site: chances are they wouldn’t even exist without the supplements they sell.
To be honest, most of them are crap and do nothing. What the seller is counting on is the placebo effect. We’ve all heard of this and there’s no doubting that it exists, but for some reason, no one ever believes they could be victim of it. I remember back in high school, my friend had a New Year’s Eve party at his house. Tons of beer and wine and of course everyone started acting drunk after a few hours of drinking. I thought it was weird that his parents were letting us drink (they were there), and it wasn’t until everyone was falling all over the place that they announced there was no alcohol in any of it. Yeah, there were some embarrassed people at that party.
The point is, the placebo effect IS REAL! Chances are, if there are no real studies backing up the efficiencies of a supplement, then it doesn’t really work. When I say studies, I mean real studies, done by someone with no ties to the supplement manufacturer.
Of course there’s an up side to the Placebo Effect as well. If you believe something strongly enough, you have a much better chance of achieving success. I’m not big on the whole “what you can visualize will come to you” thing, but certainly in fitness, your body only goes where your mind leads it. Believe you can’t ever have a hot, fit body, and you never will, regardless of what workout you do.
It’s a little bit scary, knowing how powerful your mind is and how much you can deceive yourself, but it’s a fact we all need to deal with. For another great perspective on the Placebo Effect and fitness check out this article https://www.t-nation.com/training/belief-effect

I will probably be dong a few supplement reviews at some point but not as many as you’ll see elsewhere. There are a few that do work, but don’t count on miracles (unless you really like being the fool who pays money for a placebo).
Greetings, little Tanata
When I was younger, I was a teenager and I was doing bodybuilding, I used creatine and whey protein from time to time. Sometimes, albumin. I remember that the people who used them always said that it grew faster and the ones that sold were asking if the person wanted to be a monster. If it were today, with the maturity that I have, I would not buy any, because it is just to stop working out that the body begins to lose muscle mass, so, even if the supplements help, both real and the placebo effect, one hour the results pass . For me, it is money spent only at that time, usually for aesthetic reasons. If you do not have bodybuilding, your profession will be losing money in the long run. Of course this is just my vision.
Very good as always your text.
Thank you and good morning!
You sounded a very sensible idea, based on personal experience. This is really true, my experience says the same. Thank you!

Your thoughts may be a effective healing tool while given the hazard. The idea that your brain can convince your body a faux treatment is the actual aspect — the so-known as placebo impact — and as a result stimulate healing has been around for millennia.
Wow tanata once you have a useful post t the placebo impact is
A placebo, also referred to as a sugar pill, is a treatment this is often given to examine contributors as a manage to evaluate the outcomes of "not anything" to the effects of an actual remedy. However research within the past have proven that, inexplicably, placebos could have fantastic consequences.

Цель любого маркетинга - изучить рынок и создать спрос. Иногда мы позволяем себя немного обмануть, а иногда даже не догадываемся о том, что нас обманули.
Фитнес-индустрия сейчас на подъёме, и во многом благодаря и добавкам тоже. Главное ко всему подходить с умом и немного анализировать.
