Many athletes and fitness enthusiasts are using additives from powders to pills to help their training performance. But which of these actually work?

Supplements are exactly as they sound- a supplement to your diet. You should not rely on them 100% for fuel.

Some of our recommendations:

• Vitamins: multivitamins, vitamin C, Vitamin B, Fish Oil, Omega-3
• Herbal supplements: Coleus forskohlii root extract, Huperzia serrata, hawthorn extract, milk-thistle extract, etc.
• Clean protein powders directly after workout: Whey protein, Vanilla protein, Hemp protein
• Natural protein bars for when you are in a bind: Quest nutrition, Kind, Clif

Eat real food- but supplement where needed based on activity level.
