How can we realistically manage to discuss "integration" if on the one hand there are the industries that produce the products, whose only interest is economic profit, and on the other, the buyers, whose only hope is to buy miraculous products that legally and without side effects, can they mimic the results obtained with doping?
Eventually, after a period of time sufficient to generate the desired economic profit, the product disappears to give way to a new one, which in turn for a certain period of time will constitute the muscular mirage in the collective imagination.
Try to ask yourself if among the dozens of products that you have surely bought and tried, c "is n" was one really able to make you gain muscle mass and / or definition? There is, there never was, and there never will be. If there were, it would be doping, it would be illegal and could not be sold in supplement stores, which are equated with herbalists. Have you ever wondered why in the seventies the then nascent supplement industry offered dried liver, brewer's yeast, fenugreek and wheat germ and today these products have almost disappeared? Because use has shown that they were worth next to nothing and today's consumers would no longer be willing to buy them.
Real supplements deserve a mention, that is protein powder, branched chain amino acids and why not even the bars. But these, even if defined as supplements, are nothing more than food in a more practical and faster form. Here the only problem is that of not completely replacing real food with these products or of adding them without criteria to an incorrect diet at the outset.
What else to say? A mirage is a mirage, it's up to you to choose whether to die of thirst hoping to find the oasis, or to study the map and find the right way with a compass and compass.
