Debunking 5 Biggest Supplement myths

1. Debunking 5 Biggest Supplement Myths Wrong information and exaggeration is quite persistent in fitness and nutrition industry. You might stumble across several blogs and websites which are not reliable and might even harm your health and fitness goals. There are several myths about the supplement industry which are circulated in the internet due to word of mouth, bad reporting and misleading channels. To offer you assistance and spare your money, we have compiled Five biggest supplement myths that are circulated widely on the internet:

2. Myth 1: Creatine cycling is important Even I have read this myth on several known fitness blogs and website that creatine cycling is important and vital for your health. As a part of creatine cycle people tend to follow 2 protocols: Loading and maintenance. In loading phase they take a high dosage of the supplement in the first week, followed by maintenance where they take 3-5 grams of creatine daily. At the end they stop the consumption of the supplement for a month and again repeat the same cycle in the upcoming months. There is also another myth that persistent intake of creatine will decline the natural production of creatine in the body which is not true.

3. Myth 2: Supplements works even if you don’t do any exercise Dietary Supplements like whey, mass gainers etc. can fill your diet holes and macros, but if you are not regular with your training routine you cannot gain any muscle using supplements alone. To gain muscle you have to workout else using these supplement can get you fat. Fat burners and pre-workout supplements can cause severe health effects if you don’t workout as they increase your blood flow and heart beat. But these supplements are not enough to lose weight if you don’t follow any training routine or diet.

4. Myth 3: Supplements are not safe to consume Several people have this doubt that supplements are not safe to consume and often have artificial boosters mixed in them. Let me assure you that most of the known supplements company does a lot of R and D to produce these supplements and they have huge reputation to protect. So major international supplement organizations provide superior quality products which are approved by FDA.

5. Myth 4: Once I quit supplements I might gain weight Supplements have no side effects until and unless you eat healthy. Supplements usually fill up the need of your micro and macro nutrients and once you quit supplementation, you won’t get those nutrients. It won’t lead to any fat or weight gain.

6. Myth 5: Multivitamins are harmful People have this perception that the things which come in pill form are not safe to consume as they are artificial. Consuming whole lot of vitamins from your natural diet is quite an impossible task. So multivitamins are very handy if you want to fill in those nutritional gap and they are very healthy and safe.
