Supplement companies market exaggerated claims to athletes, especially high schoolers. Skip BCAAs, greens powders, pre-workouts, gut cleansers, fat burners, and testosterone boosters. Better performance gains come from cheaper, proven fundamentals.
Athletes, you probably shouldn't be taking these supplements. I'm going to let you guys in on a little secret. Supplement companies, they like to make money. They like to market things. They like to make things seem too good to be true to get you to pull out your wallet and buy it. So tip number 1, if it sounds too good to be true, if the results are insane off of this one teeny little supplement, it probably is too good to be true. All right. So I'm probably going to get a lot of heat in the comments saying, no, there's studies on this and this and this and this is really good for you. Okay. There's studies on everything saying everything which way. I'm just saying for athletes, For high school athletes, there are bigger levers that you can be pulling that will help your game and save you some cash. So just a quick run-through, I'm sure I could add to this list if I wanted to. BCAAs, greens powders, pre-workouts, gut cleansers, fat burners, testosterone boosters— do not take that. Anything that is overhyped and that overpromises, think twice about before you purchase it.
