What are supplements ?

Let’s first understand the word literally. As per Google, a supplement means “add an extra element or amount to.”
So a supplement is generally used to fill gaps in the diet. Mainly micro minerals, vitamins, protein and certain fatty acids.
Also research says supplements can help only 3-5% in your nutrition regime overall.
On one hand these 3-5% could mean a lot for people training since decade/s like me and for beginners can it may mean next to nothing.
However supplements have turned to be life saviours for many. Speciality supplements like VitmainD3, Omega3 fatty acids, Magensium, Electrolytes, etc.

Dark side:
Supplements are considered as magic pill and abused. Like people end up taking 10 or more scoops of protein a day saying
I am a vegetarian so I don’t have protein source
This sometimes lead to digestion issues or allergies.

Myth:
Supplements are steroids. This is another subject and to end it in short supplements are NOT steroids.
Later article to explain a bit on steroids. Also don’t use them I am not an expert to talk about it.

Supplements if used wisely can be a game changer and are safe for all athletes.

Send in questions if any on this subject and I will be glad to answer.
