The Most Overhyped Fitness Supplements

The Strength Log

Last episode covered the three best fitness supplements to spend your money on, and three that might be worth it under special circumstances.

We flip the coin today, talking about the most overhyped supplements for strength and fitness. Either because they have been shown to not live up to the claims of the supplement companies or because they can’t be deemed safe for human consumption yet.

Does this mean that it might be worth your money if we don’t mention a specific supplement in this episode?

Absolutely not.

The ones in the timestamps below are only the most popular ones, but there’s a lot of crap out there.

Save your money.

Timestamps:

• 04:10 – BCAA
• 09:30 – Turkesterone & ecdysterone
• 15:15 – Testosterone boosters
• 18:30 – Fat burners
• 22:45 – HMB
