A member asked:

Will i really need supplements to get in good shape?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Absolutely not: There is nothing you'll find in supplements that can't be found far more cheaply and safely in real food, regular exercise, enough sleep, and enough water. Spend your money on well-fitted athletic shoes, a good mattress and lean meat, colorful vegetables and fruit.
