Supplements are good or bad?

[Roby]

One of my friend planning to take weight loss supplements to burn the weight, DO anyone used any weight supplements? is it good or bad?

99% of the time they are bad. They tend to contain isolated, synthesized versions of vitamins created from coal tar or petroleum, or they contain toxic compounds, or they contain countless additives and texturizers and binders, or they are completely useless, or all of the above. Or, they lie on the label and don't put nearly as much of the compound as the label states. Consumer Reports has done testing on supplements and found that only a few brands actually contain the amount they say they do.

That being said, some high-quality supplements do exist.

firenexx, source please. 99% sounds awfully high for something I'm sure works for me.

Thats very true. Thats why its best to take vitamins which were extracted from natural sources (like plants or foods).

I take a whole bowl of vitamins, minerals and amino acids every day, and I have practically stopped aging.

I even wrote a thread about it on Joe Rogan's board. I'm not gonna copy/pasta it all, but you can have a look at this link:

The Rogan Board

The pyramid I came up with myself, and I'm quite proud of it. A lot of work and research went into it

Thanks for your comments dude! So i recommended my friend to go for some natural supplements and also suggest him to do some homework before taking it.

I've read that a good multi-vitamin is good, but most people need to take additional calicum (at a separate time than you take the multi-vit) with vitamin D... & amino acids.

Yes, thats because in order to get enough milligrams of each vitamin you'd need a pill the size of your fist. And good luck swallowing that

Yes, calcium is very important for all human beings, especially for women. Most of the doctors recommend calcium tablets for women after the age of 40. Taking multivitamin supplements is becoming common among people, even kids are taking these supplements.

As with a lot of things, some are good,some are okay, and some are bad. You just need to do your homework.

Natural supplements and a little bit homework will effect his weight and good for his health. And avoid inferior supplements otherwise there are a lot of chance of reactions and it would be more bad then present. So choose wisely.
