Wading through all the suplement garbage.

There are some things I know about supplements and food from being involved in the fitness world that make sense. Like I know that the quality and amounts of nutrients you ingest (protein, carbohydrates & fats) will determine how your body uses them and for what purpose. ie using it for energy or storing it. I also know that protien is one of the cellular building blocks and is an excellent supplement provided you get a quality protien and don't over use it. Honestly though, there is so much misinformation out there about all of the different supplements that who can seperate the good from the bad. I mean, they all come in such fancy packages, with great promises and significant price tags, all because theirs is the best. Who's to say?

So this is my attempt to learn a bit about the supplements that are ever present in the sports world. Though i'm certain that if I use credible sources, not manufacturers, and multiple sources there's a whole world of information waiting to be read.

To start it all off I'll look into multi-vitamins and what health Canada recomends. I think that this will give a good basis for what to start off with.

Wish me luck.
