Who Is The Supplements Advisor
My name is Jimmy Ellis (The Supplements Advisor) and I want to help you cut through the CRAP about nutritional supplements and give you an unbiased look at the supplements that "actually work" for most people and ones that DON't based on personal use and experience by myself and friends that I trust.
I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on nutritional supplements for about the past 12yrs starting at the end of highschool when I was playing baseball and working out on a regular basis. Like many of you have probably done yourself, I walked into the local supplements store and asked what I could take to for energy, or to build muscle, or to burn fat and proceeded to get a recommendation from someone who knew nothing about me (my first mistake). I was recommended a multi-vitamin for energy and protein powder to get stronger.
This was not the worst advice but it was the "general recommendation" that any John Doe walking through the door would get. I started taking the supplements and months later I had made gains but I could not contribute anything to my multi-vitamins or protein powder. This is about the time I headed off to College at the University Of Florida to study Nutrition and Food Science.
While in college I was introduced to some of the first supplements that REALLY worked, not because someone told me they worked, but because I tried them and got RESULTS.
After researching these supplements to understand how they work and why, it became much easier to determine what supplements have the best chance of actually helping you with a specific goal you are trying to achieve with your health or in the gym.
I am also a COMPULSIVE label reader and compare every major brand of supplement to each other to determine what differences their are, why they work, and which one is the best value.
On this site you will find many supplements and info that you have seen at local health food and supplement stores, or online. If you have taken any of them and would like to help other visitors who could use some valuable input, then please add your comments. You will also find official "reviews" that I put together when I have taken supplements first hand and am confident I can give you advice that will truly help you whether it's good, bad, or ugly.
Thanks for stopping by and I'm hoping you can help some of my other readers by telling me about your own experiences with health and bodybuilding supplements.
If you have a question that I can help answer, please FIRE AWAY and I'll do my best to give you as much input as possible or direct you to the best resource I know about.

Jimmy Ellis
