@biolayne: The Most Overhyped Supplements of All Time! Here’s my list… BCAAs → unnecessary if you eat enough protein Glutamine → poor bioavailability & doesn’t build muscle HMB → minimal benefit for most trained people L-arginine → poor bioavailability (there are better options) Ecdysterone / Turkesterone → hype >> human data Electrolytes → not magic unless you actually need them. Might seem weird to be on this list since I sell an electrolyte supplement with my company @outworknutritionofficial but the list is ‘overhyped.’ Electrolytes work great if you train intensely for long periods of time, in heat, or lose a lot of sweat. But they are being marketed to CEOs who sit behind a desk. That is complete BS. Electrolytes won’t do sh*t for sedentary people. “Advanced” creatines → marketing > results (monohydrate wins & is WAY cheaper) Test boosters → mostly useless Collagen → not a muscle-building protein, absolute worst amino acid profile of ANY protein source for muscle That doesn’t mean all supplements are useless — just that most are oversold and misunderstood. If you want supplements that actually work, you need to filter signal from noise. I break all of this down (with actual data) in this episode of the Dr. Layne Norton Podcast 🎙️. Available on all podcast platforms If you care about evidence-based nutrition and not wasting money on BS…
