Worst Supplement Awards!

There are loads of threads about the best supps out there, but I'd like you to share your worst experiences with supplements.
Nausea? Cramping? Or maybe you just spent a fortune on sugar pills that do nothing...?

I would like to nominate Jack3D for making me crash so bad that I had to cancel the rest of my day. And for not telling people about the study where they found people using Jack3D actually lost muscle.

Do you perhaps have a link to that?

With regards to money waste, I'd say there are too many supplements to mention. Unless it's part of the old faithful group, that being protein, creatine, BCAA's, etc., chances are it's just a sham IMO.

As for some of my worst experiences, when it came to postworkout creatine with a carb source, USN's CreTec Anabolic...it was just way too sweet and gave me the worst squirts ever :pinch: (and the smell!)

Same goes for Muscletech's CellTech. That stuff is just TOO sweet, and after a lot of water during a workout, that stuff just makes me wanna puke. I literally had to sit down for a while just to feel normal again and not throw up after each session, having drank that.

Apart from that, haven't had bad experiences with supplements, only discovered which ones worked and which were basically overpriced sugar pills

Well, we all know and agree that USN is crap so not even gonna go there. A few years ago I used the Gaspari pre and post workout supplements... Man that was bad. Besides struggling to get it down, made me wanna puke everytime i took a sip, it gave me the squirts everytime i used it. I never got good pumps at all.

I have too agree. I'm not a USN fan also.

I agree USN has NEVER been a supp I would pay for, BUT i recently tried their Whey Protein. The Hardcore GH one. The reason i tried this is it had Mono-creatine and I think Glutamine. I am actually quite happy with it and just bought another container of it.

Worst supp I have used so far is SSN NO Crea-pump. This was a few years ago and maybe they have revised the product. It made me want to throw up, NEVER tasted a worse supp before and felt nothing.

I used Ganic F for a while... tasted KAK! It did seem to give me more go... but my blood pressure was a bit higher than normal on it...

Any methoxy or ecdysterone supplement. That crap is 100% useless

BEst creatine supplement ive ever used was the old USN creatine transport....back in the day. A blend of mono and ethyl ester creatine with dextrose/glucose transport. Some taurine and beta alanine as well. First supplement i ever used back then and it gave me skin stretching pumps. I still have the stretchmark scars lol

Used Ganic F before stuff made me feel so shit worst workouts of my life. Took me almost an hour just to drink the 500ml drink it was to sweet, the smell gave me a headache, was the blackcurrant flavour I think.

dont get the grape neurocore!!! trust me

I hate the taste of the 3DT fruit punch :sick:.

I second that. I'D imagine nuclear waste would taste like that

@muscleaddict: Ive used ecdysterone with metoxy and zma + daa and I defnitely got stronger...Im serious dude, maybe overpriced, but I dont thnk its useless - unless i was experience the placebo effect. :S

It was the zma and daa that increased your strength.

Thanks koe,not tryng tobe smartass or anything, im really just asking dude..Why does it increasmy strength if it doesnt really boot your test all that much?I was prob like 19 or 20 so my test levels "should" be sky high?

Hope you understand my question haha

Thanks...

@Theodoric: Don't have a link for you sorry my dude. I read it from a post by DJ so maybe he can help you? Or Muscleaddict?

Methoxy and ecdysterone don't do jack shit. Ecdysterone has about 50 patents for a lot of different uses but not one has any clinical study showing strength and muscle gains. The hype and bro science about it being some super insect anabolic hormone is just marketing talk.

"What Does D-Aspartic Acid Do?

One big difference between DAA and other natural testosterone booster is there is actually scientific data in HUMANS showing it to effectively increase testosterone levels. A study by Topo et al. showed that supplementing with 3 grams of DAA increased circulating luteinizing hormone (LH) levels by 33% and testosterone levels by 42% in men aged 27-37 years old (Topo & Soricelli 2009). Note that this increase in testosterone was in is not in healthy men with normal testosterone function, not rats or hypogonadal men! Note the increase in testosterone by 42% was after only 12 days of supplementation and testosterone levels returned to baseline three days after stopping DAA."

Well.... whatever Animal did in M-Stak worked. Maybe just the combination of all the other goodies but it gave me serious strength.

Thanks koe and MA.

I HAVE to agree with jackrabbit, just try doing m-stak - It really really does work. Im gonna use it after pct

Also agree with the USN = Biogen = crap. ALL the products....

BSN supps are great. ON supps are great.

MuscleTech Cell-Tech - just WAY too much. Too sweet, 75g suger (or dextrose or whatever). I actually halved the dose now.
