Title: Debunking 5 Biggest Supplement myths
1Debunking 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
2Myth 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.
3Myth 2 Supplements works even if you dont 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 dont workout
as they increase your blood flow and heart beat.
But these supplements are not enough to lose
weight if you dont follow any training routine
or diet.
4Myth 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.
5Myth 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 wont get
those nutrients. It wont lead to any fat or
weight gain.
6Myth 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.
