Top 3 loved and hated supplements!

goatfishtwo · 2026-02-19T08:28:33Z

I noticed there's not a lot of activity in this forum so I was hoping to fire up some conversation. I want to see everyone's favorite and least favorite supplements they've used. I'll start it up. Favorites M.R. - I know that this pre workout is absolutely over-hyped but I must attest to the fact that in my experience with it I was extremely satisfied. I have never gotten such a clean and efficient burst of energy from anything. The flavors are tolerable and I love the niacin dosage. Size-on - It's a gaspari supplement that you're supposed to drink during workouts that are supposed to help lengthen your workouts. Although I'm almost certain that half of it was just a psychological factor, I always seemed to have much better workouts. The flavor was amazing it tasted just like a grape tootsie pop. L-arginine - I always get much better pumps when I take a few caplets of arginine before I workout. It's a vasodilator so it helps increase bloodflow to your muscles. So it'll mildly increase vascularity and the pump in the muscle group your currently working on. Least favorites C4 - OHHHHHHHHHH my god this is the worst crap I have ever ingested in my entire life. I gave it multiple tries. I was about 3/4 of the way through the tub when I decided to just trash it because it was actually making my workouts WORSE instead of better. I'd feel sick, nauseous, bloated, and downright sluggish on this. I could seriously take 3 scoops of it and go to sleep. That's how ineffective it was. Syntha-6 (any flavor) - I really didn't like the way I felt after I'd drink this. This whey did not mix well at all and I felt absurdly bloated and I didn't see any significant gains. Just some more overhyped BSN garbage. What else is new? Cytogainer - This is actually going to sound like a sleight against all "gainers". I don't know if anyone has caught on to this but all gainers are, are a shitload of carbohydrates. They don't have much more protein than regular whey protein powder and the same with the fat content. These companies take advantage of the fact that people who are new to working out think that more calories automatically = more mass. Plus the serving size for these things are like 4-6 scoops! Seriously, overkill much?!? Let's get some input and get this forum more active. C'mon guys.

yo guys, i work at a supplement store and mannnn i get alllllll the mixed reviews lol. but nonetheless there are legit brands with good quality and i have my personal favorites, like everyone else should. problem is, the average guy wouldnt care about understanding individual preference, they just want what "works".....saddest thing when i get people who just buy shit because it "gets them through the day." whatever happened to understanding the body and diet? then again who am i to critique, some people really do "need" supps.

Nutrex

I'm with you on the Mr. Hyde.Finishing up my first tub of watermelon now.

likes:
Mr. Hyde by ProSupps, Craze by Driven Sports, Hemavol by Iforce

dislikes:
I really don't like any of the more "mainstream" supplement brands like BSN, Muscletech, etc...pretty much anything at GNC like said earlier.

I don't really use any supplements except for creatine in PCT and protein powders which doesnt make a difference to me as long as it mixes good with water. Agmatine is my number 1 ingredient that I'm looking for in any supplement when I do venture. I get all my nutrition from whole foods and I like it that way, but man I'm a pre-workout junkie lol. Some of my best workouts and muscle pumps have been with Craze/Hemavol right before.

My new favorite protein is Trutein. Other brands I have tried in the past have been rough on my stomach. Looking forward to trying new flavors.
