This article aims to reveal if Supplements actually work or if they are just over-hyped super supplements.


Scouring the internet or browsing around your local supplement store you are bound to find literally hundreds of these "super supplements" for almost every requirement from building muscle to losing fat and from a libido booster to a skin improver. However, we are concerned whether these are just over hyped super supplements or if things that actually work for our benefit.

Truth about so called "Super Supplements"

If you've ever flicked through a health and fitness magazine nearly every second page has someone promoting some type of supplement.

Personally, as someone who appreciates good marketing, I find these adverts to be extremely convincing which is what marketing is all about, to persuade you target market that this is what you actually want and need because if you buy it you'll look like this person with the perfect size zero body or with this beautiful, wavy flowing hair.
But do these supplements actually work? Will I lose weight with these fat loss supplements and get beautiful hair with this hair care product? Well, for the most part, the answer is a big fat NO! I mean I wish it were YES, I really do, but from my experience of using fat burners they actually do very little.

Facts about Super Supplements

In actual fact the leading fat loss supplement on the market today claims that you will lose 10% more body fat than what you would if you didn't use this particular fat.

Now let’s put that into perspective. This is the leading fat burner on the market that claims this and 10% is probably the highest percentage of extra fat loss they have come across in the group they tested it in before they decided to retail the product.

So, in a group which may have 200 people the range of extra fat loss could have been from 2% to 10% so they obviously quoted the 10% figure even when the average might have been 4% extra fat loss.

Now even if it did provide 10% extra fat loss that would be only 1 pound extra weight loss if you have lost 10lbs over a period of a few weeks. 1 measly pound!

What's more is that this leading fat burner (which will remain nameless but is manufacture by one of leading supplement manufactures) cost $50 for one month’s supply! So, ask yourself if you were to lose 10 pounds in a month which is decent enough would that extra $50 been worth that extra 1 pound?!

On top of this, the principal behind this particular fat burner is to just increase your heart rate thus getting your body to work harder which in turn results in a few more calories burnt per day.

Natural Supplements for Weight Loss

I'll give you a tip for nothing... 3 cup of black’s coffee with no sugar, milk or creme will achieve similar results! Also include 2-3 liters of water per day and sugar free chewing gum as both of these act as potent appetite suppressants!
 
The take home message from this is to not get caught up in over-priced and over-hyped super supplements. I couldn't name one that lives up to its expectations. I know it sounds boring but just get a great diet with low fat foods (or Foods that Build Muscle if you're trying to build muscle) and exercise for 30 minutes every day and you're guaranteed to see dramatic results as oppose to using the best weight loss supplement!
