This page is for the supp enthusiasts. Two years ago, I was sick and tired of relying on shady supplement review sites or unretrievable forum logs of people trying out some supps and then perhpas reporting about it or not. So I started my own little supps review project. It was very simple really: take an amount of money you actually don't have, the willingsness to swallow whatever comes your way, read on the science behind it, observe and then report. Not always in this order, I'm afraid.
Every supp I'll put on this page has been used or rather tested by me. I don't work for a supps company and I have no monetary interests in what I do. To me it was really only about having a nice repository where I would answer the most important questions:
i) Does this supplement work? Meaning: Do I see or feel any difference?
ii) How well does it worked compared to other similar supps?
iii) How do I take it to see an effect? Meaning: Do I take it with food, several times a day, at what dosage?
It's really all there is. When looking for a supplement, I realized that usually these were the crucial questions. Of course it's interesting to know that <insert complicated word here> affect the <insert other complicated word here> thus inceasing the <you get the idea> by 2.5%. And I was yet to find a nice site, which wasn't inundated with replys and comments from people who are too stupid to use google or really geeky talks, which most of us don't understand. I'll try to stay in-between. You'll always find some sources at the end of an article for further reference - we don't want to promote broscience, do we...
In the age of information, ignorance is a choice.

P.S.: I will reference to studies, but I won't do so in the text. This is a blog, not a PhD exercise.
P.P.S.: At the very end of each site, there will be a table which indicates how to take the supp and what doses seem to work for what. All neatly put together, ain't that great.

New content on how to cut correctly and effectively incl. progress pics (so you see it works) and finally got some updates on the dark page... some updates on substances you might want to be careful with;-).
