One of the most common questions asked is whether someone needs to take supplements in order to build muscle and see results. It is a good question and one that has two completely different answers depending on the person asking it. In this video, I explain to you 5 reasons you need to take supplements and when you never should take them. If you can’t deal with brutal honesty however, I would advise you not to watch, as some feelings may be hurt.
To determine whether or not you are a candidate for supplementation you have to start with your experience level and current condition. If you are just starting out and are relegated to lifting 5 pound dumbbells for most of your exercises, you are likely not ready for supplements. You can gain far more benefits focusing on building up your strength and foundation while learning proper form and the best way to train than with stuffing your face with supplements.
The same can be said if you have allowed your diet and nutrition to put you grossly overweight. Supplements are not your savior. You first must figure out how to rededicate yourself to your nutrition so that you can lose enough weight to make supplements a viable part of the discussion once again to take you and your results to the next level.
Next you have to ask yourself if you are motivated enough to take supplements. Some people view supplementation as a way to be lax with the rest of their fitness and nutrition plan. They figure that as long as they are taking the supplements that they don’t have to worry much about everything else. Couldn’t be further from the truth. On the other hand, sometimes the act of supplementing makes you much more accountable for the rest of your actions. In this case, it can be a great advantage to helping you stay on track.
If stress is a big part of your life, be it from your work or family, supplements can become even more necessary to help keep you on track and combat that. We all know that proper nutrition and fueling can go a long way towards helping your body fight fatigue and breakdown. If stress is heavy in your life then you would particularly want to look into supplements to help keep you healthy and consistent with your nutrition in the face of schedule disruption.
Finally, ask yourself if you think that you can get all the benefits of supplements from food alone. If you think so, I can tell you in most cases you are wrong. For instance, there is simply no practical way to get as much creatine as you would need to experience its benefits from food alone. I said practical. Sure, you may be able to do it in theory, but when you consider the roadblocks that I present to you in the video you quickly realize this won’t work.
For a complete supplement and nutrition line that is tested and trusted by today’s top professional athletes, be sure to head to athleanx.com/at... and get your Rx Supplement bundle. Feel what a difference supplementation can make and see first hand how it can take your results to the next level.

• Creatine is good.
• Protein powder is just food.
• Multivitamin probably isn't completely necessary if you're eating enough, but it also covers your bases just in case (b vitamins, vitamin d, and certain minerals). Most multivitamins have plenty of vitamin D, which is good if you don't get a lot of sun. If yours doesn't have vitamin d, it's a really cheap stand-alone.
• Amino acid supplements and BCAAs are expensively pointless, just eat more.
• Fish oil are a great idea if you aren't eating fish often.
• Pre-workouts are caffeine with niacin, arginine, beta alanine, citrulline malate, and b vitamins. Don't rely on them for every workout, and even for heavy workouts
I'd recommend avoiding them.
• Joint supplements are just glucosamine and biotin. If you have joint problems or pain, just get those 2 things separately; they're cheap as hell.
• Post-workouts are garbage, just eat something or make another protein shake.
• Glutamine is pointless, unless you're vegetarian or don't consume dairy.
• Lysine is good for cold sores, but that's about it.
• Mass gainers are just maltodextrin and protein powder. If you absolutely don't want to eat your carbs, feel free to drink them with mass gainers.
• Testosterone boosters are all, without exception, bullshit.
• ZMA is zinc, magnesium, and B6. Generally you don't need to take a separate ZMA pill because you're getting these through a multivitamin, but if you're eating less to lose weight and don't have a vitamin with enough Z and A, a ZMA capsule could help with recovery and sleep.
• Sleep aids are melatonin and valerian root, both of which are dirt cheap and can be purchased separately.
• Weight-loss pills are usually caffeine, green tea (caffeine), green coffee bean (caffeine), and a fibre to suppress appetite. Any claims about metabolism boosting is bullshit. Just eat veggies and take a caffeine pill to replicate 99% of weight-loss pills.
Yup to everything
creatine is on red meat

i take pre workout right before bed so i can go heavy in my dreams

@@Niels-yo7rp You must be fun at parties
Cerax says the one that doesn’t understand sarcasm 😒
Everybody here is at least 50 layers of irony in.
Which makes no sense due to caffeine. Whenever I take creatine 4-6 hrs or under before bed I tend to have a difficult time falling asleep and weirdly enough, when I do fall asleep, I get nightmares. It's that caffeine still in my system
My mom thinks my protein shake is what is going to make me look like Arnold and eventually going to kill me...

Legend has it, Jeff was using that dumbbell during the foetus stage.
What kind of monster does a workout using a dumbell fetus?
Exactly what I thought.

To clarify, you'd have to eat 450g of tuna to get 4.5g of creatine
+Paul Dowsett creatine is overrated.. just like other supplements
***** I KNOW it you dumb fuck
+thisguywhocamps1 umm...80% of the people probably have an unhealthy lifestyle, have their nutrition not on point but then they take creatine and expect magic. and i've made my best results when not taking any supps and just eating good quality food... NOTHING beats actual food! 100g of lentils or a scoop of whey, guess which one is more beneficial...
+FIGHT TIME prod. It's not really overrated, of course it's not like steroids but it helps to increase power output.. It's one of the only supplements that actually works.
+Semper Fidelis totally agree..Lets just suppose that, that tuna had like 5 grams of creatine in it and
you could eat one tuna for some months daily..Now lets say you are
taking creatine powder for some months daily..What happens in the end,
is that if you stopped eating the tuna(natural creatine) after some
months your muscles wouldnt have the chemical creatine's powder negative
feedbacks, like losing power and mass...Everyone that takes creatine
knows that if you stop taking it you lose things...Thats why you CANT
compare natural food to chemically supplements..Period!

jeff you need to go on joe rogan. so much misinformation about creatine sources. his interview style would really help unearth any uncertainty's people have with your work
Jeff on JRE would be sick
@@NerdKing9826 15 minutes of actual information broken up with stupid questions about drugs like MDMA, thoughts on HRT/TRT, and anecdotal experiences in fighting? Then the conversation gets railroaded to something irrelevant for the rest of the interview because Joe has an IQ of potato? Yeah, I would love for that to happen.
I bet it's difficult to get on jre these days
@NewsMan 1967 listen to him speak with actual intellectuals like Ben Shapiro and Sam Harris. Rogan can't hold a conversation with anyone truly intelligent because he's a bro-science idiot.
stephen hartley YES
“The cafeteria in the hospital isn’t somewhere I’d be able to find good nutrition” isn’t that really sad? We should have way better foods in hospitals
Matt Bettcher it’s not true in all hospitals. The one I work in has excellent fruit and veg options, there are always veggie salads, and usually offers stand alone grilled chicken and hard boiled or poached eggs. Bring a water bottle and own oil/vinegar dressing and food options are really reasonable. $$ but nutritionally reasonable.
Brittainy Byam cool
Not sure what hospital he goes to ,the hospital I work at has alot of healthy food, hospitals now have great food
Peter Cervantes cool, last time I was in a hospital I had Mac and cheese.. that’s not healthy but whatever, it’s great that you serve healthy food in your hospital, it should be the case everywhere
@@mattbettcher7439you @ mental hospital bro
You have twins? That's perfect because you'll be able to try out different training and diet plans with them and compare results. You have two genetically identical test subjects.

"you have to earn the privilege to start taking supplements." Such a profound statement when you break it down!
Jeff: are you an athlete?

I love how Vegan Gains isn't here because Geoff/Jeff doesn't talk shit, he knows what he's on about and doesn't abuse that. Good work brother, keep it up!
+The Piper I'm vegan and I agree with what VG says, I was just saying that Jeff is like one of the only fitness channels VG doesn't target because he knows what he's talking about relating to fitness, I don't agree with the meat side etc but the rest of the fitness side he is so good
I want to hear Jeff's opinion on vegangains
+brandon jacobo If you go to his website, everything in his "diet plan" (which is don't eat garbage) can be substituted for a vegetarian alternate if you prefer.
+jack cutts Why would VG be here anyway? JC has tremendous knowledge plus he's a physical therapist which is a biiig plus. No material for VG here.
+Greenegsnham iam "He does nothing but make people hate vegans" - I am not vegan but I don't hate them because of VG. He has some really good points if you have a critical mind. I think most bb guys hate him cause he's telling the truth which is in conflict with their bro science style of life.
I sometimes switch between beer, ice cream, and soda to confuse the muscles and liver!
Been 2 weeks of taking creatine and doing the workouts on this channel, already seeing the most gains of my life so far, it’s unbelievable how much u notice the muscle grow if you use smaller weights and isolate the muscle just like Jeff always says to do
Did you notice any hair lose ?
Did it couse liver damage?
Creatine is safe. Just take a little everyday. I never felt the need to over load. It works in small consistent amount
Been working out and lifting weights for about 3 months now... I went from 270 lbs to about 257 with actual muscle gain! I’m so proud of this and I’m only gonna get better! Thanks for these guides, I think I’m finally ready for supplements.
How are you doing? Still consistent?
@@i-fart-n-elevators4610 I still go once or twice a week to this day! I weight 207
How much creatine is in a big mac?
all of them
CLUTCHHAMMER13 nice
e Lamb about 1.5g
Way too much saturated fat with some protein and carbs.
around 0.2g
One of my friend started to train this year. The very first thing he did was to get into a shop and buy a full stack of supplement before he ever touched a single dumbbell. Lot of people think that working out impossible without these products. Ridicolous...
i bet dom from broscience convinced him that he will never make any bicep gains without taking pre workout post workout and some kind of supplement between every breath at the gym.
hhhhhh True!
you don't actually NEED any supplements at all to get into shape.
dom mazetti is the preacher of gainz
First i touched dumbbells and till now touching ..but no money for stacking😤😤
I just pictured a guy doing a barbell squat with one arm free to drink from a straw between every breath xD
So much free advice. I learned more from you than I have my own dad. Thank you!
8:24 “not to mention, you’re probably gonna wind up with mercury poisoning” LMAO
Thanks Jeff! I am mid 20's and am at the gym at least three times every week. Honestly, I make my own workout routine but I base it off other pre made routines. I knew the basics from when I was in highschool and worked out every other day. Today, I manly focus of power lifting. I regularly watch your videos to get advice and tips on how to improve my workouts. Over the past month I have tried the isometric workout at the end of every type of workout and wow! I feel stronger and look better! I have take creatine for almost a year from what I've heard and what you said here proves it. Thank you alot man! As always, you've been a great help!
Jeff...I must say, out of all the guys that talk nutrition, and working out on CZcams, you're by far the most knowledgeable and articulate. Just simply wanted to say thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world. I've put a lot of your training methodologies to good use, with good results...so thanks again.
I train almost every day and supplement with the following.
Creatine monohydrate 5g daily
Mutant Noxx pre workout
Protine isolate shake once daily
HMB 2g daily
Test 60mg daily. (Gel)
Fish oils Magnesium Turmeric and Black pepper Vitamin B12 1000mg daily.
Thats what ive found works for me.

@@davidg9696 cheers man and you👍🏻💪🏼
How are the gains bro? All I take is creatine, whey, and some bcaa’s. Probably hopping off creatine bc I think I m getting some hair-loss. I need some more supplements I got a decent healthy diet but I need some stuff to boost me up and get some gains bc I think coming off creatine is going to kill my gains.
Jeff's rotators cuff rehab videos 100 percent whole y helped me train again, i am very very thankful to him.
Just finding your channel man I feel pretty late. I love that you ask questions to your audience feels more authentic and you keep it real. I appreciate your approach.
When I first started working out last year, I was a 20yr old 5'7" that weighed 52kg. I was well below the average despite my heavy eating and I've been like that my whole life. I'm not lanky, or super skinny, just really lean. I've never really had much of a fat content despite lack of exercise and unhealthy eating so I could easily gauge my progress on the weighing scale as every increase would be muscle, never shedding fat. I bought 500g creatine and 2.5kg whey protein powder when I first started working out, along with tweaks in my diet which is also super important. Within the first two weeks I had packed on an extra 5kg, and a month later I was 61kg. After around 3-4 months of training I had gone from 52kg to 63kg, I was getting and feeling pretty ripped. Creatine and other supplementation may not work for everybody, but it can help to speed up the process, especially if you're like me and struggle with packing on the pounds, instead of shedding it. I still have a tiny 28" waist but I feel a huge sense of achievement every time I see my weight go up on the scales. Training does take time, it takes a lot of motivation because you won't always feel like working out, so it's really important to find a good reason for YOU to train. It can be gaining or losing weight, but nothing makes a target more achievable than specifics. It's easy to plan when you have a specific goal in mind, mine is to eventually reach 85kg on the scales. It'll take a lot of hard work, but I'm enjoying the journey in feeling and looking great, and that's all that matters in the end, right?
Creatine is a must, the water bulking alone is a great motivational boost for most beginners.
It's something i fundamentally disagree with Jeff on.
How much do you weigh now..
Nick how do you start taking creatine?
@@blothhounder2190 I went with the loading stage
@@Nick-AngelpeodSeaxisc Jeff is simply saying that isn't a prerequisite to gains, which he is absolutely right on. If you're using it to gain water weight and look slightly puffier in the mirror that's up to you, but I don't see how you disagree with Jeff saying it isn't a mandatory supplement
I used to have this argument with people all the time, who would say to me "why do you need all those supplements? You can get it all from food.", I would them explain why it's impossible to do.
i just started your program and took my day 1 picture a few days ago, I can't wait to see my 30, 60, and 90 progress pictures! Thank you so much for everything you do and changing my life!
Is it me or does not being able to find good nutrition at a hospital sound wrong? Not wrong like incorrect, but you would think being a hospital that they would prioritize that and on a level for more than their patients also for the staff and visitors as well.
Well not that it;s necessarily unhealthy, but tends to be lighter and more for people recovering from illness, not on a heavy duty work out routine.
As someone that have had a to spend a lot of time in relations to hospitals and what not. Most hospitals (that are big and professional) will have a normal light menu that rotates from week to week. It's not unhealthy, but it not your protein heavy food either. That's for most people.
But they will have a separate menu for ill and old people that need more fat and calories from their food, because they don't eat a lot for example. There might also be a few dishes with a protein heavy items, but it's not available to everybody in the hospital.
Yes I always found that to be pretty inexcusable. Not unexpected though, given the role a hospital plays, economically, and maybe not wrong--from a capitalistic point of view (accept that no option of any alternative is available).
I try to think of hospitals as... very exclusive and expensive hotels. This may sound silly but it fits after a bit of thought; the Doctors' and staff's expertise is the amenity for why that particular "hotel" is chosen over any alternative: they are the reason patients show up and stay, and like any business, and a hospital IS a business, they have a business model complete with financial goals, cost mitigations, a budget, and (fault lies with just the healthcare industry as a whole here I feel) every opportunity for gouging is exploited, no surprise there. (Where, in the case of the food, no hospital is "charging" for meals as a restaurant would, so with no separate, astronomically expensive allocation on the bill for meals from which they can profit, they'll mitigate the cost of those meals by serving crap meeting their criteria for cheap, safe, approved, and availible --easy to prepare --easy to serve --easy to consistently monitor [such as for patients whose intake must be very precisely controlled] --and easy/cheap to store with a high shelf-life-to-cost ratio...)..
Things should be different, I agree.
Gottfried Osterbach well they make money off sick people so....
The overwhelming majority of people simply don't want to eat clean. So, from a business standpoint, it doesn't make sense. I agree it sucks though. Being a nightshift nurse, its even more difficult trying to eat clean, especially when the hospital cafeteria is effectively shut down for my entire shift.
I got advised that creatine was overkill for a newbie and don't bother etc by my local bodybuilding store, so I never had the energy to work out for years after work even eating a good diet.
Later I decided to take supplements anyway and now finally I have the energy to work out, so no harm in trying to see what works for you. Also drinking green tea is amazing, do it.
Creatine is not a stimulant so what energy do you speak of?
Raymundo Vega
No one has said it's a stimulant, but it does help your muscles to perform, I have more energy(endurance) to perform longer on it, that does not mean it's a stimulant lol.
RealistReviewer oh yah I know it's just the context you put it in. Usually when you hear "energy" supplements you think stuff like caffiene.
Raymundo Vega Well I was mainly talking about how they advice newbies not to take any supplements and in my preworkout there is also caffiene etc and it has given me the energy to want to workout and other newbies to lifting should just go against the advice to avoid supplements (or that it isn't needed which is true) if they have having problems getting the energy at the start :) but some people need the extra performance just to get going in the first place.
Secretface wut? Is that a troll or actual statement?
In high school my gram thought my creatine was steroids
My father thinks that protein shake is one of the steroids😩
My mom thinks my pre work out is steroids 🤣🤣
Thank you. As a coach, RN and 2xHall of Fame athlete, I love to listen to your talks. Many sound just like what I have learned and been taught in my 30 plus years in the iron game. I share many of your links to my small gym for members, at Iron-Strength Training Education & Performance. Your always right on both clinically, and with great explanation of anatomy etc. LJ Belsito.
Iiiiiii is iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiii
It would be nice if you made follow up videos that went into detail of a few supplements you touched on and what situation we should consider using the supplements, i.e creatine, glucosamine
I belive he did that from before...what goes into his supp/ what age you should take supp/ when should u take supp
+HERO ICON what's name of this video? Agreed though, I feel like there are so many conflicting sources on creatine especially.

Hey Jeff, love your videos. Just a suggestion, perhaps invest in a lavalier microphone - ek even a corded mic on a stand just out of shot. Your intro is extremely loud and then the actual video so soft.
Lavalier microphone? More like....Cavaliere microphone
it's incredible to see how your video quality changed and improved over the last years. Great video, just hard to understand/hear without cranking the volume up to max :)
Jeff I started watching your channel at 180 lbs bad diet you name it , quit smoking, drinking and junk food and now I'm a lean 150 5 months later ,thanks a bunch
Jeff, Refreshingly honest indeed!! I'm pretty impressed having watched a few of your videos and being struck by the honest no BS information your provide. Having been in the fitness game for 15 years now as an amateur - I can say you definitely point people in the right direction with how to think about supplementation.
eat good healthy food and enjoy your trainings....that is all
+Rod Mills Did u even listen to what he was saying ?
thats the truth
+Rod Mills the impossible truth
+Mido Nonofurbusiness it depends... to who this is impossible?
Great way to be average as fuck
Your videos made me start working out again :D i was scared as hell because i almost lost about 40 pounds after 2 years not training at all. You motivated me to get going again and now im back at my former weight and in better shape than ever. You do a great job kepp going brother!
Congrats on your twin boys. I hope that they continue to grow and get as strong as their daddy. Thanks for taking the time to make these really helpful videos.
I love this guy. Honest, friendly, knows his stuff and funny, too.
AthleanX Shaker Cups. Just saying.
Call Kenny Loggins. That's a great idea.
+Sodium Chloride Lmfao yes
I've been hearing good and bad things about creatine. I'm a bit worried that it has the possibility of causing hair loss.
I thought I heard this also?
“Heard”
Thats just a myth.
I feel so much stronger and in shape after watching this thank you
I've had plenty of gains without supplements. I'm too cheap and Im happy with results. But that's me work hard left heavy you'll see results takes time
mclovin'78 best advice on here
ya no shit you get results with time but some people like to search for optimal methods
Basically would u rather race in sports car or a Prius supplements will just enhance u a bit
My body didn’t start changing until I focused on prioritizing Jeff’s workout methods and completely ditched supplements with a keto diet.
mclovin'78 I hate supplements and have always seen them as the easy way. Could be wrong but I'll do it without and continue to be happy.
I believe that you should only experiment with supplements when you stop getting gains from balanced meals. At least you will know what you can achieve without extra stuff, cause when you begin using them there's no way back, it is somewhat addictive, nobody wants regress.
totally agree with you
Well yes it can be sort of addictive but I also take creatin and protein supplements and I can very well live without them. Its no problem. But my gains are very limited because of the fact that I'm only 17 and I have a very skinny body type. I hope to be getting gains soon. I have been working out almost 2 years and havent gained weight yet although my physic is much better and muscular. I'm dieting now and supplementing and working out and sleeping right so hopefully the supplements can help a little.
Definitely true
I started out just eating balanced meals high in protein and got great results
I just recently started taking protein shakes and creatine to see the different results I hope to get
I take 1 gram each of:
Resveratrol
Ashwaghanda
Turmeric
Broccoli extract(sulphoraphane)
NMN
Hey david sinclair?
@@MsCasati partially yes!
Hey may i know how old are you? I have been hesitant to take NMN after reading about the risks that come with it. But I do take resveratrol. I might need to wait more so more research/info is available about NMN
@@MsCasati I am 29. I also added 5g of creatine to my supplements mix. I feel great so far about 6 months in!
Hey that is interesting! Will definitely give it a try in the coming future
I think every body should take vitamins. I been taking vitamins for over 40 years and I still take them. Food doesn't always have the nutrition that you need and vitamins is a supplement. Insures you are getting the right nutrients. Not just working out. They can prevent disease early in life.

I'm 58 yrs. old and I've been taking Creatine for years. I also eat well and due to my age, I'm in TRT. T he Testosterone is prescribed by my Dr. So yes, hard ass work is # 1. However, there's nothing wrong with Creatine or any other supplements. Jeff, you are correct.
Really appreciate the honesty and love Jeff’s advice and training provides
Congratulations on the twins. My son was 3 months premature, so I know how wonderful and terrible that stress is. Thanks for all the supplement info.

Thank you Jeff. I love your videos because I can tell you actually care about giving out the proper advice. The passion you have for body building is abundantly evident and I always find your advice useful. Keep up the good fight, brother.

Thanks for the video (great info)- How Creatine Works......If you’re not familiar with how creatine works here is a simple explanation. Andesine Triphosphate (ATP) fuels all muscle contraction, which is stored in the muscle cell. There is enough stored ATP in the muscle cell for about 5 to 7 seconds of intense exertion. After that the body has to use a different energy system so it takes Creatin-Phosphate (CP), which is also stored in the muscle and mixes it with Anderson Diphosphate (ADP) to make ATP. Creatine gives ADP the third phosphate molecule to make ATP.
If you look at this mans body and don't think that he knows what he's talking about, then you are kidding yourself. He has a body that even professional body builders dream of. Great job Buddy!
I just had an 8 month kidney scare that I had to go through. It ended this past Friday when I saw the nephrologist. She told me that my kidney function had gone down to 44% when I had my initial blood tests 8 months ago. I stopped taking the stuff after they told me that I had elevated kidney function (meaning my kidneys were so weak that they were having to work harder to do their job). Fast forward to now and my kidney function is back to 100% since I haven't touched creatine. Never going to use creatine again. Although if anyone here uses it, I'd recommend having routine bloodwork done to monitor your kidneys.
Was wondering how many grams of creatine a day you were taking when you developed you kidney problems.
Thank you
@@chipcramer9031 Oh jeeze it's been years. I honestly can't remember how much I was taking. Best I can offer is that I was taking the recommended dose.
I only watch Jeffs videos because once you watch his videos, other you tubers seem like they don't know exactly what they're talking about. Plus this guy is like dedicated to helping us.
good guy I've just started working out after time off thru alcoholism, been training for around 6 weeks now and this guy has convinced me clean me diet up and not to go thru with my decision to take sarms
Great chanel, glad Ifound it. Definately helping my gains in the Gym. Thank you!
I was eating stuff crust pizza when Jeff said the man to man part. . . I felt guilty😂 it's tough resisting junk food at times
I hear you bro. It's ok to enjoy some junk food every once in a day
It's okay, I eat pizza once a week. It's fine to enjoy junk food every now and then but not everyday especially if you have trouble with sugar cuz it will add up
I almost died when you said "You'll probably be dead from mercury poisonig..." LOL
Lol yeah
Congrats on your twins ^_^. Our twins are almost 4 and were also premies, after we left the hospital we became part of a free program in our area that would visit us at home to help us make sure they were always on track with their development. If you haven't already, you might want to find out if you guys have this option too, now our kids are well ahead of their age thanks to these services. Thank you for all your videos and dedication to helping others. Take care!

imhellag he adds emphasis to his words
A lot of people are shit.
One option for obtaining glucosamine: bone broths. It might be cheaper then buying glucosamine because you can use the chicken/beef bones from your meal scraps/left overs to create the broth. Plus, bone broths have a lot more that is good for you that is seldom considered in our fast food/pill popping generation.
I started workout when I was 22. I finally decided to seriously take supplements last week at the age of 39. I finally know what I'm doing.
