The Truth About Supplements

Many supplements contain artificial amino acids, with creatine a common ingredient. Creatine may give short-term muscle growth, but it's not completely natural and long-term use can harm your kidneys and digestion.

Some supplements even contain banned steroids or synthetic hormones that can seriously damage your health.

The better way: build strength with real food. Protein from meat, fish, eggs and milk, plus fresh fruits and veggies. Strong bodies are built on real food, not shortcuts.
