Do you take any sort of supplement?

Multivitamin?

Caffeine?

Coconut Oil?

Alcohol?

Creatine?

Whatever. We all like to ingest things beyond straight food in hopes it will help improve things for us. It could be our mental alertness, our physical strength, our general well-being, longevity, stave off disease, and the list goes on.

Trouble is, is the supplement you’re taking actually doing something? other than emptying your wallet, that is.

It’s hard to know. It’s hard to find useful information presented in a consumable manner (that doesn’t require you to be a scientist).

A few weeks ago I found examine.com and it’s a collection of research and information about all sorts of supplements (and nutrition). I like that they give the names, other names, how to take it, what it can mix with, what it won’t mix it, warnings, issues, what studies have actually found. I like the use of a matrix as a visual tool to help you scan for information. It’s really well-done and put together.

I also appreciate that if you go to their about page, you see pictures and bios of the people behind it. It’s not just another nameless, faceless website, but people standing behind it to try to actually make something solid and respectable.

Anyways… give it a try. It seems to be a good resource.

And yes… most of the stuff you can buy at GNC? You’re wasting your money. 🙂
