Introduction

Welcome Evolutionary.org UG Supplements #25- Ketogenic supplements and other junk supplements to avoid.  In this episode, the guys go over keto supplements, junk supplement examples and scams, and N2bm products that work.

Ketogenic supplements 101

Steve explains that ketogenic supplements contain exogenous ketones or MCTs, which try to increase ketones in the blood. The idea is that they will help you burn fat more efficiently and get you into ketosis faster. When you exercise, your body gets into a metabolic state that uses your body fat for fuel. The idea is you will burn fat much faster and more effectively, and it can be a fun experience.

Steve explains that if you fast for 20-30 hours you will reach ketosis naturally without needing a supplement and it will be free of charge. You can then follow a ketosis diet which is a no-carb, moderate protein, and high-fat diet, which should keep you in ketosis longer.  You can get ketone strips from the drug store and pee on them and see how much ketones you are urinating out. If it is very dark red that means you are in a very deep ketosis.

Steve gives an example of what these ketogenic supplements include which makes them sort of silly to take.  They contain things like citric acid, stevia extract, and 'natural flavors' which means they could contain anything from emulsifiers, solvents, and preservatives.  He explains why this is counterproductive and why you don't want these things in your system.

It makes more sense to get into ketosis the natural way and not depend on a supplement.

Fake/poor supplements

Mobster used to run his own supplement company so he knows how the industry works. There are a lot of loopholes and fishy things that companies will do to try and trick you and mislead you.  Because the FDA only has so much manpower and is always under attack by propaganda, they are usually very unable to catch these crooks. When they do, the crooks are so rich that they can hire lawyers to fight for them and plead down the charges where it becomes worth it to scam people.

How common is the hypocrisy and scams in the industry

Imagine making millions of profit and living in a beach house, then losing 10% of that wealth fighting the FDA or even serving some jail time. To many all that is worth it because, in the end, you will still be a millionaire.  Many of these same scammers will serve jail time, then get out and start up another supplement company all over again.

Steve says the supplement industry attracts shady businessmen like crazy because of this. You have to be smart about what companies you trust.

How to choose good products that work

Steve says right off the bat if the supplement owner has a big mansion, has a fancy boat, and has millions of dollars in the bank, that screams of a grifter. This means his supplements have huge margins and he is ripping you off.

Another way is to listen to people who are trustworthy and who lead you into the right direction.  Online bodybuilders or fitness influencers are always going to push junk supplements that don't work, because that is their only way of marketing their products in the first place, through paid endorsements.

Another way is paying attention to the customer base. Are they just teenagers who don't know better who buy it for a few months then stop? Or are they people who are coming back 97% or more of the time?

Finally, get your bloodwork done and see for yourself. If you are using a support supplement then you can test your blood pressure before/after using the product and it will tell you the truth.

N2bm products we use and recommend

Needtobuildmuscle.com (n2bm.com) is a trustworthy supplement company.  The owner drives a used Honda and lives in an apartment.  The point of the company is to provide high quality supplements that actually work.

N2guard- This is an amazing support supplement that works, and you can get your blood work and lipid checked to confirm it.  It contains 44 amazing ingredients that work to keep your organs healthy and do so much more on or off a cycle.  You can use 7 capsules per day.

Where to buy N2bm products

N2bm products can be purchased from N2bm.com.  N2bm has been around for almost 20 years providing only the most unique and highest-quality supplement products for serious athletes and bodybuilders. They do not have overhead costs like other supplement companies who have to pay for retail space, pay off bodybuilders to endorse the product, display silly marketing tactics, and other nonsense.  Instead, any additional profits go straight into improving the formula.
