There are various reasons why athletes may be interested in bodybuilding supplements.
• Concern about getting adequate nutrients from our food supply
• Suspicion of pharmaceuticals
• Belief that diet alone will not achieve optimal nutrition
The concerning matter with regards to bodybuilding supplements is that anything classified as a dietary supplement is not required to meet any FDA or other standards! Think about that... there are no regulations in place that guarantee the safety or purity of something sold as a supplement.
They are also not made to meet the similar safety requirements as prescription drugs or any other manufacturing standards. They are not required to meet product potency or purity ratings and are not required to prove the effectiveness of any health claim that is made.
Studies suggest that a number of bodybuilding supplements may deliver on advertising claims. However, trainees are spending large sums of money on products that have little or no proven usefulness.

They then turned to the latest supplement or steroid thinking that this is the magic bullet to put on that added muscle when all the time they were just plain "overtraining".
The cold hard facts are that the majority of the regular trainees in your gym are overtraining. The sad reality is that the type of training that you find in bodybuilding books and magazines (and used by the stars) are irrelevant to the majority of the population not to mention the high failure rate.
If only more bodybuilders started using more infrequent, short, high intensity weight training sessions, followed by the required amount of time to recover and become stronger...
MOST OF THE WEIGHT GAIN SUPPLEMENTS AND STERIODS AVAILABLE TODAY WOULD NOT BE NEEDED.
The bottom line on bodybuilding supplements:
