What I Am Doing:

In the weeks to come, I am to be reviewing various supplements and giving your my unbiased opinion on what I think about them. I will base them on a scale that I made up.

I will judge it based on the following:

Credibility Rating:

I will judge each supplement based on my personal experiances with them. I will give it 1 out of 4 to 4 out of 4.

Example:

Credibility Rating:

This would give it a credibility rating of 2 out of 4.

Rating Scale:

4/4 - This supplement/regimen has significant scientific backing and can produce significant benefits in most individuals.
3/4 - There exists a sound theoretical basis for its ergogenic effects; may work in certain individuals; further research is needed to elucidate their respective effects.
2/4 - Science is equivocal, animal data and human data may be conflicting; or mechanism of action may be unclear.
1/4 - Little or no science as well as poor theoretical foundation.
