GNC? Is anything really worth buying?

[LizC7]

Hi Cathe and everyone!
I was looking through all the supplements available at GNC. I'm looking to tone and possibly have more energy. I see things targeted to those results but have to wonder if they're really effective. Any suggestions?

Beyond taking a vitamin and mineral supplement, I think most people are better off saving the cash from GNC purchases and making better quality purchases at the supermarket. Vegetables seem to be more expensive than meat, for some reason, which I know from being a vegetarian! A good quality diet, sensible exercise and adequate sleep and no-one should have problems with energy levels unless depression or illness get in the way.

Besides, I think you are either a pill taker or you aren't. I havce made purchases of such regimens at GNC in the past, and never persisted beyond about a week fo actually taking them.

Decidedly, I am a non-pill taker!

I buy all of my vitamins at GNC. However, you can not buy a pill to tone. Even the energy thing is sketchy. Good diet, working out and good sleep will help with energy. Toning comes from one place and one place only - weight-based workouts!
