Do Bodybuilders Really Need Supplements?

To supplement or not to supplement? That is the question, and an important one at that.
Do bodybuilders really need supplements? Let's examine this closely.
The first thing to look at when trying to answer the billion-dollar question about supplements is what do we define as "need"?
(By the way. . your eyes weren't fooling you, I did say Billion)
The question seems to be, "do we really need supplements"?
But the answer to that completely depends upon what it is that we do or do not need them for. Let's examine a couple of different definitions.
"Do bodybuilders need supplements to become bigger and stronger?"
The answer to this question is.. No!
Regardless of what the billion-dollar supplement companies would have you believe, supplementation is not mandatory in the pursuit of increased muscle mass and strength. Anyone who trains hard and focuses on consuming adequate amounts of protein, carbohydrates and fats from whole foods can and will see a significant increase in muscle size and strength.
If you want to become bigger and stronger, supplements are not mandatory. Period.
So given this fact, bodybuilders shouldn't use any supplements, right?
Wrong.
Let's examine the second definition.
"Do bodybuilders need supplements to become as big and strong as they possibly can?"
The answer to this question? Yes!
Although supplements are not mandatory to become bigger and stronger, they ARE mandatory if your goal is to become as big and strong as you possibly can. By investing in the right products and using the proper amounts, you can definitely gain an extra edge and see superior gains than a person who has chosen not to go the supplement route.
With the endless hours of hard work and dedication that you put in at the gym and at home on your quest to achieving the physique you desire, it only seems logical that a few extra bucks should be spent each month on a few reputable products in order to maximize your gains.
The question you simply have to ask yourself is, "how much are my muscle gains worth to me?"
If an extra boost in strength at the gym and lean muscle tissue is worth the price of that bottle of creatine, then it makes sense to purchase it. If a minimization of muscle breakdown and increased immune system strength is worth the price of that bottle of glutamine, then it makes sense to purchase it.
"Do bodybuilders really need supplements?"
If you're serious about achieving the most significant muscle size and strength gains that you possibly can, then I definitely would recommend a basic and straight-forward supplement plan to maximize your results.
Here's the 5 Most Basic Supplements that I Would Recommend:
1) Whey Protein
2) Creatine
3) Glutamine
4) High-Potency Multivitamin
5) Essential Fatty Acids

- Use of Creatine by bodybuilders is controversial because of the substance's downside, but for anyone over age 60, it is recommended in reasonable doses for the main reason that it hydrates aging muscles and produces what looks like mass. Also, don't ignore SON Formula. Good Lens!

- Hi Bill, great lens! Supplementation is definitely required for maximum results, I have tried doing it both ways and have found whey protein and creatine give you the extra edge you need.
