Bodybuilders regularly take different kinds of supplements to enhance their muscles however, they always have questions about what supplements to choose, at least in the initial stages for the maximum benefit. 

Dr. Mike Israetel, a Ph.D. in Sport Physiology never misses out on an opportunity to advise others on the best solutions to questions related to fitness. He makes waves in the online world with his harsh reality check which is backed with scientific evidence. In a latest short video, he decided to educate the fitness world, on which supplements actually work and are effective.

Dr Mike Israetel gives clarification about the best supplements

The short video directly started with the bodybuilder and scholar talking about the supplements that are the most effective in the long run. He started off by listing the ones which show a small amount of benefit. Dr Israetel said, “Studies show a very small set of benefits for for sure For a couple of classes of supplement.”

He then listed the supplements and said, “Whey and casein proteins work. Creatine works again just a little bit, stimulants work. Maybe Carbohydrate powders have their place and daily vitamins and some minerals maybe like vitamins D, zinc, etc.” According to him, these are the supplements that have shown effective results and work properly to enhance muscles and they are “confirmed supplements that work.” However these work but have tiny effects and not something that is directly visible immediately.

According to the athlete and fitness guru, almost all other supplements do nothing that can even be detected. So clearly the training and intake of nutrients and supplements is a long-term work that will show effects in a prolonged time and not in the blink of an eye. Dr Israetel has also advised on natural supplements that boost testosterone.

During a conversation with Jeff Nippard, the exercise scientist suggested that if a natural herb is enhancing testosterone one should question the mechanism it is creating inside the body.

If the body detects that a serum testosterone increase has occurred, it would reduce the natural production of the hormone.
