5 important supplements questions answered

Can I take creatine all year round?

No is the straight answer. It’s good to cycle creatine, 2 months on and at least 1 month off. If you take it for too long, then your body gets confused and your own internal creatine production and monitoring system will shut down, which means in the long term, you will lose muscle and have less energy. Best to take a month off every 1-2 months.

Will male hormone boosters harm my body?

Anything taken in excess can harm your body. There are many male hormone boosters. Those such as Norateen Heavyweight II which have been tested and are manufactured by reputable companies such as LA Muscle are perfectly fine to take as long as you are over 18 and you follow the instructions. It is also advisable for you to cycle them and take them for a maximum of 2 months, with 1 month off in between. This way the hormone boosters will work with your body and you will make continuous gains and you will not lose your gains when you come off them.

How do fat burners really work?

Fat burners work in several ways. The 2 most popular are through thermogenesis or by metabolising fat.

Those that are thermogenic increase your own body’s fat burning mechanism. They are not as effective for all people as they depend on each individual and may have some side effects if they have not been formulated properly or tested extensively.

There are also fat burners which metabolise fat and get your body to shift it out. These such as Fat Stripper or Thermoxen are more reliable, work for almost all men and women and have very little or no side effects. LA Muscle’s main fat burners all metabolise fat, that is why they work so well for the majority of people and have no side effects.

Do supplements screw up my kidneys and liver?

Everything you eat and drink will go through several of your organs. Your liver and kidneys are strong organs designed to work and last a lifetime so ordinarily, a healthy individual will have no problems consuming supplements.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition or you take the wrong supplements, not follow the instruction and take them for too long, then you may have to lay off them for a while. Generally, reputable supplements will not harm you.

Are supplements that work quicker better than the rest?

Generally yes, however it depends on the supplement. For example if you are trying to increase male hormones, then it is better to have a build-up, than to go all out crazy in the first few days. This is one of the reasons why LA Muscle pay particularly close attention to their formulations and do not necessarily follow the “more is better” school.

Every formula is different and you need to ensure you take the right supplements for your needs, which may not necessarily mean the ones that work fastest.
