Several people are always looking for the latest and greatest when it comes to supplements.. When you find that right stack that works for you, do you continue with that particular stack or do you change it up? How frequently do you change your supplements?

This question is why I would kill to see a good scientific study on supplements and their effectiveness that is NOT sponsored but a supplement producer, retailer or other vested pparty.
Anyways to answer your question, over time I have stopped using each of my supplements one by one. The last few years I’m down to a basic multi-vitamin and fish oil. I just didn’t feel that the little bit of gain (if any at all) I was get from the supplements was worth the cost.

Personally speaking, I live an extremely busy lifestyle and feel that the supplements really help give me that edge to reach my goals. -Scout |

In the “way back when” maybe 100+ a day. I was in my 20’s and had a lot more disposable income back then.
I won’t go so far as to say that supplements don’t do any good but pretty sure that they don’t live up to their hype. They are not regulated so they can pretty much make any claims the want. Not all makes list all ingredients; it is very buyers beware market.
Also
Back in the late 80’s my workout partner at the time wanted to do Cybergenix. Which was great but I didn’t have the money (I believe it was $200 at the time) for the 2 month cycle at the time. We both did the workout as prescribe him taking the supplements & doing the workout and me just working out. After the 60 days we both had made basically the same gains. That was when I started reducing my supplement use.
I just think supplements are a tricky business and people need to be really weary of the promises and published test results.
The bottom line of course is if a person uses a product and sees results, at the very least the product is worth it for them.
