Is the Supplement Safe?

A question that people often have about supplements is: "Is it safe?" That's a good question, and one you should ask. I have personally reviewed the supplements sold on this site, and refuse to sell supplements that are of questionable quality or effect.

However, supplements can interact with medications. If you are being treated for any illness or are taking any prescription medications, consult with a licensed pharmacologist before taking any supplement other than a protein powder or multivitamin. You might ask your doctor, but your doctor is unlikely to know the correct answer.

However, cancer patients can expect to get the correct answer from their oncologist. If in doubt, don't supplement. Sometimes, the answer just is not known. Play it safe.

Also, some supplements don't work together very well (while others work better together). On that first issue, consult with a pharmacist or pharmacologist. On that second issue, we'd be happy to review your supplementation program free of charge even if that means we end up selling you less. Remember, this is about your success--not our making a quick buck.

You might want to visit www.mskcc.org/aboutherbs to see if anything we sell is on their list (at last check, nothing was). That site contains information on about 140 products and is updated regularly. This site also includes information on whether a supplement can interact with prescription drugs or other treatments.

Another question people have is, "How do you know if you are buying a reputable brand?" The quick answer to that is reputable brands are the only brands we offer.

If you'll notice, we don't hype things up. We don't use giant fonts and lots of exclamation points. We don't claim supplements work miracles. We give you solid advice on what supplements will help you reach your fitness goals and what other things you need to do to get where you want to be.

You can also see the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine at http://nccam.nih.gov/health.

On a final note, it's amazing that people worry about supplement safety while giving no thought at all to the fact that the meat, milk, and grain they consume is probably contaminated with several toxic substances. Not to mention hormones and antibiotics fed to the poor animals in the factory farms.

 

Article Authorship

The articles on this site are authoritative, because:

  • Every contributor is an expert in his or her field.
  • The articles comply with the accepted principles of the bodybuilder literature.
  • The articles comply with the teachings of such luminaries as 8-time Mr. Olympia Lee Haney.

 Where an article is not bylined with a specific author's name, it was written by Mark Lamendola (see photos on home page and elsewhere on this site). Mark is a 4th degree blackbelt, has not been sick since 1971, and has not missed a workout since 1977. Just an example of how Mark knows what he's talking about: In his early 50s, Mark demonstrated a biceps curl using half his body weight. That's a Jack LaLanne level stunt. Few people can even come close. If you want to know how to build a strong, beautiful body, read the articles here.
