Ever wonder why that "miracle muscle builder" supplement that
hoovered up last week's paycheck didn't perform as well as it did
for the shredded dude in the magazine ad?
* Were you just not working hard enough in the gym?
* Are you just too much of a "hardgainer"?
* Did you forget to use the magic words?
That's what some of the big supplement companies would like you
to believe.
When in fact, it's not YOU at all!
A recent review of the slick marketing tactics used by MOST of
the greedy bodybuilding supplement companies revealed some pretty
scary tricks that you may have fallen for in the past.
Here are the Top 3 findings (and how you can be sure to NEVER get
scammed again!):
================
1. "Proprietary Blends"
================
If the ingredient label on a supplement says "patent-pending" or
"proprietary blend", be VERY careful and you probably don't
want to buy it.
That's scam-talk for "cheap worthless supplements we don't want
to tell you about!"
Companies can combine any simple compounds (whether they work or
not) and submit them for a patent WITHOUT even telling you what's
in their super secret formula.
Sounds "official"...but it's a smoke screen!
===========
2. "Pixie Dust"
===========
Most supplements list "proven" active ingredients on their labels
that CAN help you build more muscle and burn fat.
Unfortunately, most of them contain so LITTLE of the actual
ingredient that they will literally have NO EFFECT on your body
unless you take expensive MEGA-DOSES!
Usually the language that's used is something like, "...contains
an ingredient proven to blah, blah, blah..."
"Contains" = "Sucker" Don't be one.
==============
3. Scientific Jargon
==============
We're conditioned to accept medicines as having a powerful effect
on our body.
That's why supplement companies will use the latin or scientific
name for a compound on the ingredients label to jack up the price
for something that costs just pennies to produce.
In an expose, a friend of mine actually found one expensive
"advanced" supplement that was using the long scientific name for
plain old creatine...and charging a small fortune for it.
In another testosterone-boosting supplement, the manufacturers
used the scientific name for (get this...) black tea leaves!
The bottle cost nearly $60 and it was filled with nothing more
than ground up black tea leaves with its latin name!
Makes you want to give up on supplements, doesn't it?
================
Well that would actually
be a HUGE mistake!
================
Because not ALL supplement companies resort to these
measures... their are some legit good guys still out there.
And of course you need to have a kick butt training program to
stimulate muscle growth.
