Body Building Supplements:
What To Watch Out For

If you expected to find a list of recommended dietary supplements, you will not find it here. Requirements for supplementation is unique to every individual and that includes bodybuilders.

I will give you some “food for thought.”

Magazines, web sites and other publications that present certain supplements as the “be all and end all” for good nutrition are usually funded and/or sponsored by companies that manufacture them. My position is that any information presented by an entity funded by such companies presents a genuine conflict of interest.

It is for that reason that I recommend you take your advice on supplements from your personal physician or a licensed dietician who is familiar with sports wellness and the bodybuilder lifestyle.

As a bodybuilder you are told that supplements can help you to gain weight, build muscles and in strength training. There is no “magic pill” that will guarantee results, yet there are thousands of advertisements making truly outrageous claims. The truth is that no amount of supplements is a replacement for a healthy, nutritious diet.

Again, my recommendation is to consult with your physician, do your own research and due diligence before adding supplements to your daily regimen.

If you determine that dietary supplements are appropriate for you, and you don’t feel the importance of consulting with your physician or dietician, there are some guidelines you can use to insure that you are ingesting exactly what you are purchasing.

In the United States, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), has stringent laws about packaging guidelines for supplements. Some things you should follow when shopping for supplements include what the packaging must show:

• Name of the product
• Quantity
• Directions for use
• Supplement facts panel (serving size, amount, and active ingredient.
  Other ingredients
• Name and address of maker, packer or distributor. Write to this address for more product information.
• Medicine/Narcotics
• Narcotics and dangerous drugs, including anabolic steroids, are prohibited entry and there are severe penalties if imported.
