Q. What supplements should I take to increase my results?

The only supplements I recommend are a good multi-vitamin with antioxidants and in most cases, a quality protein source. The majority of performance enhancing products you find at the local 'health food' store is worthless. Some are potentially harmful to your health such as ephedrine that is found in many weight loss supplements. The government classifies nutritional supplement as food, not drugs so they are not held to the same standards or regulations. I could grind up breath mints, repackage them as Keath's Muscle Builders and it would be perfectly legal. The product can only state on the label what "may" result from taking it. A good multi-vitamin with antioxidants should be included in everyone's diet. Using protein powders in shakes is an excellent way to be sure that you get what you need to rebuild muscle and recover from a training session. Keep in mind, that any overuse will be converted to fat. As far as the rest of the "miracle" powders, pills and drinks... leave them on the shelf.
