    It depends what supplements you are talking about - it's a pretty wide umbrella of substances.

    I drink whey shakes to top up my protein because I struggle to meet my macros from food alone. They are not in any way essential, it's just a convenient way to help people meet their macros, whether that be to lose, gain or maintain weight.


    I also supplement B12 and iron because I tend towards anaemia.

    Apart from fish oil, creatine, and protein I would say supplements are, for the most part, a waste of money.

    It depends what supplements & what you're trying to achieve. I take a multi vitamin every day & a protein shake every day after I workout. In the winter months I take vit c & Host Defense by New Chapter to prevent myself from getting sick. Creatine, bcaa & fish oil are also popular supplements.
