How neccessary are supplements. I was recently advised by a physio who is high end that I should take "be-well", an english supplement that radcliffe also takes. since taking it, i,ve not really felt any better or more energetic, and have still been sick twice. It,s an all round vitamin drink for the immune system. It's supposed to be good, and costs me 50 dollars a month. should i keep taking it or would my money be better spent on something else?
It's a bunch of crap. And I'm no salesman or anything, but I have tried EVERYTHING for years, and finally found something that worked for me - Life Essence by Pure Essence Labs. The vitamins are natural (not that synthetic crap) and they work wonders. I have never felt better, and they are only 32 dollars a month. Are you in England? I don't know if they ship outside the USA, but it's worth looking into.
After the Feds took Victor Conte away from Salazar take what the Oregon Project uses now to boost testosterone. It's all legal until we get caught again.
I was thinking about getting supplements from B well too. They have 5 different drinks as part of their plan; ones for before, during and after exercise, a joint repair formula and the every day nutrition one you mention.
It’s obviously too expensive to get them all, so I'd probably go for 'B Gain' which is a recovery drink for after hard sessions/races. It’s got protein in and means you'll be able to train better the next day.
it seems to me that runners in the west, Americans, British, Canadians etc. raced faster before "supplements" were even heard of. Further it seem today's faster runners come from "developing" countries where it would be difficult to afford such "supplements."
For the cost of these suppliments you can just buy the real gear. At least you know you aren't wasting your money and you'll actually see results.
Mauro, is that the same shit that McGrath has been gulping down? Does it really boost your testosterone? I wonder if it will screw up McGrath's endocrine system the same way it screwed up Alberto's? $90 a month? Where does Rupp get the money for that shit?
Word to the youngsters, if you think that Ohio State and Maurice Clarrett were corrupt what do you think of Nike and Salazar?
Kenyan, Ethiopians, etc.. are in the know about EPO just like the rest of us.
