Whats in your supplements?

I have recently been searching for supplements to improve my workouts and a lot have changed since my last bout with weight loss back in 2007. I know for a fact I bought into the whole craze hook line and sinker, I had cabinets full of all kind of pre workouts, post workouts, pills for this shakes for that etc... I remember one day getting ready for the gym and my little girl asked was I trying to kill my self? I looked at her puzzled and asked why  would you ask that and she said why are you taking all of those pills?  I opened up my hand and looked at the mountain of pills I was taking and I counted 19 pills. 

Do supplements work? Yes and No. Some supplements do provide key components your body can use to perform and recover better, but then there are companies that saw the lucrative loosely regulated  cash cow the industry had become and simply started cranking out products with little to no actual benefits at all.  If you are in the market for supplements and don't want to waist money on modern day snake oil; the best defenses is to get informed and do some research.

I plan to take one supplement a week and dissect it, no I will not personally take each supplement and test it but there is enough info and data online for us to make a informed decision. Since My main goal is weight loss i think weight loss supplements will be the first one I tackle.
