Which 2 supplement companys do you trust the most?

edit: I picked Optimum and Prolab due to cost effectiveness and quality. They never make statements like giving you gardenhose veins or crap like that.

I picked ON because of quality and pricing, they usually have the best deals. ProLab is pretty good too, but I have only tried a few of their products.

trust ehhh. Well, I do not know the history of all the comps, but some there have bad reps. I actually dont buy any of those brands.
Id say the guys at avant have good info, and I like sesathin, now foods is good business practice, and BN bulk. I have a sac o protein, and will buy another 50lb bag to make my own shakes. Ill say ON becasue Ive heard lots of good, and I yearn for a tasty pro shake.
The things taht kill me are those 7 page reports.....

I didn't put Bulk on there because everyone including myself would vote for them. That would be too easy.

I went with ProLab and "other" for 4EverFit. I don't know if 4EverFit sells in the US or if it's just a Canadian company.

ProLab has had some good prices around where I live lately, and I can't really complain about the quality of any of their products I've tried. I'd say they are "pretty good".

4EverFit on the other hand, is my personal favorite. I find their products to be superior, and their prices to be about average. In my opinion, their products have been better than any other I have used to this date.

There is also a sort of "no-name", name company in Canada called Interactive Nutrition which I like quite a bit. I've been buying their micronized creatine and l-glutamine lately and their prices are damn cheap. The products are also very good so far.

I am not a big fan of Muscle Tech or SANs. SANs is currently being over hyped every where I go up North here, and it's driving me nuts. I keep getting free "magazines" every time I pick up anything at any supplement or health store, and all it turns out to be is a huge advertisement for SANs disguised as a bodybuilding magazine. Their products are ridiculously priced, and a lot of their containers are like 2 week supplies, even though they are huge tubs! I've heard their products are good quality though, so I guess if you are rich and have tons of money to throw around, it's good.

I'm not familiar with the some of the product names on the list though.

i only voted for one company optimum nutrition because in my opinion their whey protien kicks ass lol

apocalypse · 06-14-2005, 11:27 PM

I am not surprised that optimum nutrition is leading the poll, Avant labs would have been a good contender or Designer supps, The rest of the company's except for may be nutrex and Bsn are bullshit comapnies.

IMO, ON is a great company. As for Designer, I love most of thier products, but you gotta watch for the hype even with them. I love Rebound, but are we forgetting thier Mdien claims back in the day?

1fast400 is obviously gonna be on my list, and as far as protiens go Designer Whey has been in my shaker since i started lifting at 16 yo. I also have to say the PrimaForce offers very reasonable priced products, that have worked for me in the past.

I dont know hardgain, I think u are misinformed, sledge isnt the one who hyped up methyl dien. It was that bitch bruce kneller( who knows what the heck his real name is) All sledge claimed was that u might gain a pound or so in a week while loosing a pound or two of fat, if are dieting, THE RIGHT WAY THAT IS.

methusaleh · 06-19-2005, 08:55 PM

Out of that list, the ones I trust MOST, I put ProLab and Optimum.

Other ones on the list that I trust somewhat are Pinnacle and Nutrex.

Brands I use daily: Vitamin Shoppe (mainly for EFAs), GNC (for multis and sublingual melatonin), Swanson (for herbs), Designer (Lean Xtreme and GXR), Avant (Sesathin), Kyolic garlic, Now (some EFAs, lecithin), and of course BN for all my bulk powders (ALCAR, B5, CEE, yohimble, etc etc etc...)
