#26- Banned Substances in Over the Counter Supplements, More Things to Look for When Buying, Are Supplements All That Important for Health & Performance?

The Fitness Experiment

Positive drug tests as a result of athletes taking over the counter supplements is becoming more and more common. In this episode we cover details on this phenomenon; who, what, why and how is this happening? We provide more details on what to look for when buying, how to confirm a product is safe for use in sports and much more. We also assess the overall importance of supplements when it comes to a program for health and/or performance. Are they really all that important? Where would they fit on a list of "top priorities"? We also talk a little bit about how flying and travel in general affect your biology. It is also becoming more and more common for athletes to travel across time zones to compete, and jump on a plane immediately before or after games and competitions. Could this be harmful for the body? For athlete performance? Can this be mitigated? All this and more. Enjoy!
