I saw a similar chart for <a href="http://www.steroidsources.com/dianabol.php" rel=follow rel="nofollow">dianabol</a> on a website, but like everything else, the benefits received depend very much on the context, such as level sf exercise and a strong diet.

I'll have to spend some time looking at this. As you said, many of these are debateable. I am on the fence about the efficacy of most supplements, and doubt many of the claims, largely because so many of the studies are flawed. For example, Fruit A and Bean B make people happier, they both contain Vitamin X, therefore vitamin X makes people happier. But then...<br><br>If someone studies Vitamin X by itself, they often find that it doesn't confer the benefits given by Fruit A and Bean B. Clearly, there's much more going on than we know.<br><br>The same with vitamins that appear to clash with each other. I think it's just not as simple as that. Science so far only sees a tiny part of a very large picture, like looking at the stars by peering through a straw. <br><br>Yet, we still keep looking, because it's the best we have so far.
