Which one do people prefer?

 

more expensive luxury branded supplements which usually contain a vast array of ingredients for a specific purpose.

 

or

 

individual ingredients which are usually much cheaper, but more voluminous and time consuming.  

 

curious to hear peoples opinions about the supplement industry, their supplement stacks + cost.

 

I take Creatine monohydrate, citrulline malate [pre], phosphasidic acid, Fish Oils and a Multivitamin.

iherb 'Now' for multi and whatever else I pretend I'm going to actually use.  Locally made WPC.  Turkish place around the corner for the chicken on rice.  I suspect cit-mal is the ingredient in PWO supps that my stomach really doesn't like (SuperPump for example) so he's out.

 

Leucine seems to be worthwhile but I cbf and it prolly doesn't make a material difference unless you're already on point with training/nutrition/rest anyways.

 

If I were an oil Sheikh I would always have Scivation Extend because it tastes good and aminos aren't detrimental.  Powerade more useful though.  Electrolytes - it's what plants crave.

Ooh, so this is what a poll looks like, is it? I hadn't tested it - but it's pretty clean and tidy. Nice!

 

The question's good too, of course, Yeelang. :D

 

I tend to go for the basic stuff, but the exception is the multi. It's a hassle to make your own, and it's the kind of supp that dodgy brands can definitely use cheaper ingredients, so I bite the bullet and pay for a ON's Optimen multi.
