What Supplements Do The Experts ACTUALLY Take?

If you had to choose 5 supplements, what would they be?
In this video, I studied 10 of the most credible fitness writers and KZfaqrs to find out the exact supplements which they all personally take and recommend.
After having had enough with many popular KZfaqrs recommending hundreds of different supplements (many of them useless) which the average person cannot afford,
I decided to look at 10 of the most credible fitness personalities and identified a fascinating trend of supplements which they all seemed to take and recommend.
Unfortunately, along the way, I encountered the disturbing truth as to why the US supplement industry is predicted to surpass $60,000,000,000 by 2025…
Find out which supplements you should look at and which ones you should avoid in this video essay.

@@vertix1180 No problem! The rest of the micros you listed are no where as dangerous for men but you can hit your daily needs for them through your diet. Glutamine tyrosine beta alanine all aren’t worth the money and time to be taking separately imo. If they are in a pre workout drink you’re taking fine but don’t think they are really doing anything. For supplements all I take is fish oil protein powder and I’ll alternate between coffee and a preworkout before the gym.

People are obsessed with "quick and easy." There might be some legit reasons why some people would prefer a pill over tea, like maybe they don't like the taste, they don't drink hot liquids, or they don't want to wait for the tea to brew and drink it fast enough.

Great video, thanks for the info! I am a bit curious on that benefit pyramid tbh in praxis. Like for most people even if they are pretty dedicated, do you think their meal timings will provide more benefits than creatine for instance that had (5-15% strength/power) or whatever it was. And that's not the only benefit the supplement might have. So just the same with whey, I'm sure it's true that it as a supplements fit's as the lowest part of your priority list and isn't even necessary if you do everything else perfectly with micros and macros and always hit your protein target with healthy food sources. But in real life this isn't always such a realistic goal for everyone. I'm not sure I have a bigger point here, just thought maybe that pyramid can be a little misleading depending on the user.
