A member asked:

What kind of natural supplements an advanced bodybuilder needs to get lean and massive muscles at the same time, other than whey isolate and creatine?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No easy answers: There are no supplements that cause lean and massive muscles. A diet high in protein and intense exercise is your best best. There are some supplements with extremely limited data which may support your efforts like coenzyme q and vitamin d -- don't expect a miracle though.
