The supplement industry is unregulated. It's up to the consumer to know what you're putting in your body.
Ever wondered if that pre-workout supplement you’re eyeing is worth it? In this engaging episode of 'Middleish', hosts Erin Green and Michael Gray tackle the often confusing world of dietary supplements. Prompted by a listener's question, they dive into the nitty-gritty of what works, what doesn’t, and what might just be a waste of your money.
From pre-workout powders to the latest 'miracle' products, Erin and Michael cover a range of popular supplements and share their expert insights on how to navigate this booming industry. They emphasize the importance of scrutinizing ingredient lists and claims, given the lack of regulation in the supplement market. The hosts also shed light on some risky behaviors associated with supplement use, especially those multi-ingredient pre-workout formulas that can be more harmful than helpful.
Advocating for a 'food-first' approach, Erin and Michael suggest simple dietary tweaks that can often meet your nutritional needs without the need for supplements. They also highlight the value of third-party evaluations, recommending trusted sources like NSF International and Informed Choice for verifying supplement safety. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or just someone looking to boost your health, this episode offers practical advice on making informed decisions about supplements.
Tune in to hear Erin and Michael’s balanced take on maintaining a healthy diet while navigating the supplement maze.
