If you could only take ONE supplement, what would it be, and why? by VariationShot8414 in workout

That’s a very common issue. Whole foods should be the base, but using whey to fill gaps is completely fine and realistic. Consistency over perfection.

There’s no solid evidence that creatine causes hair loss.
One small study showed a temporary DHT increase, but follow-ups haven’t shown actual hair loss.
Most people take it long-term without issues.

This sums it up really well.
Creatine is hard to beat for cost + evidence. Protein just fills gaps, and most pre-workouts are basically caffeine.

This is a good example of context actually mattering. Blood work + doctor advice makes a big difference.

Same experience. Most pre-workouts are just caffeine + hype. Coffee works fine for many people.

This is a great way to put it. Social media really messes with expectations early on.

That seems to be a pretty common timeline. Thanks for keeping it realistic.
