Do Supplements Work?
- What does “ergogenic” mean? (6:00)
- It is basically anything that enhances athletic performance.
- There are also “ergonomic” aids specific to equipment.
- Ergogenic aids are not always worth the packaging they are in. (12:30)
- However, consuming meat and eggs is ideal for getting protein.
- There are various other forms of protein powder, but they still aren’t as good as meat and eggs. (17:00)
- Some clinical trials use injected forms rather than ingested forms. (20:30)
- There has recently been a lot of talk about NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). (25:00)
- The reality is, we don’t fully know the efficacy of these things.
- Two ergogenic substances we know are helpful for performance are coffee and creatine monohydrate. (30:00)
- SARMS and peptides. (39:00)
- A new claim about GLP-1s is that they cause scurvy, which is typically a vitamin C deficiency.
- SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulator) and steroids are different. (41:00)
- The reality is that the boring way works. (52:00)
- Vinnie addresses a recent issue with UltraSalt. (1:02:00)
