Simon Dean SG To supplement means to aid or assist.No dictionary defines supplement as miracle.Protein powder is protein in powder form to put it simply. These areas must be fulfilled first. 1)Diet to feed the muscles adequately 2)Good training for best results 3)Proper rest for maximal human growth hormone release You can take all the protein powders or pills like a pumped lab rat but if these 3 areas are not satisfied.No results would be seen.
eagle SG Just feel like mentioning that number 3 is hard to achieve sometimes. Not everyone has a lot of time. 8 hrs of sleep or more can sometimes be a luxury purely due to workload.

Simon Dean SG Btw this is the same for steroids, many people think that they are the easy way out. I know a national bodybuilder who takes it and complains how much harder he has to train and how much more he has to eat.
eagle SG But when you have a test on wed, a test on thursday, and an important FYP report to submit by Friday, along with many modules, 7 hrs of sleep a day for that week is almost impossible.
