b'In your journey towards becoming stronger, fitter, and healthier, there often comes a point where you wonder if taking some supplements will help your progress along. But what fitness supplements are actually effective and worth investing in?\\n\\nHere to answer that question is Layne Norton, a powerlifter and doctor of nutritional science who has a passion for debunking health-related myths and promoting evidence-based recommendations. He\\u2019s also, full disclosure, the owner of a supplement company himself. But I don\\u2019t have any financial connection to Layne\\u2019s company and we keep this conversation neutral and high-level. In our conversation, Layne argues that there are three top-tier research-backed supplements to consider \\u2014 whey protein, creatine, and caffeine \\u2014 and we unpack how to use each of them for optimal results. We discuss whether plant proteins are sufficient for building muscle, whether it\\u2019s true that creatine causes bloating, acne, and hair loss, how to best time your caffeine intake to energize your workouts, and much more. At the end of our conversation, Layne shares some additional supplements that seem promising for enhancing your health and fitness.'
