Hey guys, Paul from Ultimate fat Burner.com here. Today I'm answering the question, "are supplements worth it?" I'll be right back with the discussion in just a couple of seconds, so
stick around, please don't go anywhere.

Hey! Welcome back, and thanks so much for sticking around.

So, let's get straight to the question, "are supplements worth it?"

Now if you are to research this question you will find a wide range of answers...

Anything from supplements suck and they don't work at all, to supplements are awesome and natural and they're answer to everything.

To me, the most logical answer to this question is, "some nutritional supplements are supported by enough clinical evidence to support an argument for their
use, and are priced reasonably in relation to the value they offer, and are therefore "worth it".

Others are not supported by much clinical science, or are they super pricey for the small benefit they offer, and are therefore "not worth it."

That seems pretty logical, right?

And That's what I thought until I got thinking about it a bit.

And then I realized what the problem was.

Whether a supplement is worth it or not doesn't come down to a truckload of supporting clinical data or a recommendation from a respected guru or anything else.

It's entirely based on your experience with it.

In other words, it's entirely subjective.

And there are 3 things that can impact your perception of whether a supplement is worth it or not and none of them have anything to do with how much clinical data supports it
use.

What are those three things...

#1 Expectations

What do I mean by this?

well, In many parts of the world, nutritional supplements are very loosely regulated, if they're regulated at all.

What this means is that there can be a HUGE disconnect between what retailers say a supplement can do for you, and what it will actually do for you.

In other words, the effects of the supplement are often grossly exaggerated in order to tip the scales in favor of a purchase.

If a retailer hypes the hell out of a supplement and promises amazing benefits that don't materialize, it's not unreasonable for you to conclude that the supplement sucks and is
not worth the money.

However, if you had purchased that same supplement from a retailer that provided more realistic expectations, or who told you the truth about what to expect, you might feel
differently about it.

So your assessment is based on the fact the supplement in question did not meet your expectations.

#2 Potency

What do I mean by potency?

There's a huge quality control issue in the supplement industry, again because there is almost no regulatory oversight.

A few years there was a huge outcry when it was discovered that GNC, Target, Walmart and Walgreens were selling supplements that didn't actually contain any of the ingredients
listed on the bottle.

If you didn't hear about this, I'll include a link to the story in the description below.

Now obviously if you're taking a supplement that doesn't include any of the stuff that its supposed to, your assessment of it not being worth it is going to be 100% accurate.

But it's not really accurate because you never actually any of the stuff.

#3 Contamination

If the first two problems weren't bad enough, this one really takes the cake.

An alarming number of supplements - especially those in the bodybuilding, weight loss, and male enhancement categories are contaminated with illegal drugs.

Body building supplements have been found to contain anabolic steroids, male enhancement products have been contaminated with sildenafil or viagara and weight loss supplements have been contaminated with
all sorts of things, including prescription weight loss drugs.

All thesde things may color your perception of whether a supplement works or not, but the truth is a lot of the time, it's difficult to know whether it's the supplement that's
working, or something else altogether.

So at the end of the day, where does that leave us on the question, "are supplements worth it?"

Unfortunately there's no easy answer. A supplement may be worth it, if...

1) It's supported by sound clinical science.

2) The benefits it offers are in line with its costs.

3) Your expectations of it are reasonable.

and The product you purchase actually contains what is on the label and is not contaminated by illegal drugs or undeclared pharmaceuticals.

What a nightmare, right?
