Beware! No-Name Protein Brands Could Be Useless

by Pat

I have a friend who has a contact in the sports nutrition industry. Now the contact has never told him who he works for but let’s just say he’s urging my friend to stick to well known brands when it comes to supplements.

He said that the whey protein they were manufacturing was nothing more than placebo. In essence it does nothing for you. In the end your best bet is to stick to names like GNC, Met-Rx, Myoplex, and Cytosport.

It really makes me think about how many protein bars or shakes I’ve consumed that have fallen short of the protein content that was listed on the wrapper. Or worse, contained no protein at all. That’s why it’s important to rely on food sources for protein and use supplements as nothing more than that — a supplement to your diet.

I have always been among those who believed that the greatest freedom of speech was the greatest safety, because if a man is a fool, the best thing to do is to encourage him to advertise the fact by speaking.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.
