Image 1 (Oliver Knöbel aka " Olivia Jones "): Not sure, but maybe the famous German drag artist Oilver Knöbel  aka "Olivia Jones" would be willing to buy some of your "all natural ergogenics"? Tekin and Kravitz estimate the number of currently available "nutritional supplements" to be 30,000+ and if you want my personal estimate, roughly 30 of those are useful (Tekin. 2012). And while many of the other 29,970 supplements are often just dispensable, some are downright harmful or, as we have recently seen for alpha lipoic acid and zinc only beneficial for a certain, often sick, obese and diabetic part of the population (see " You are better of without alpha lipoic acid " and " Zinc supplements may cause insulin resistance & diabetes ") and can - if taken in high doses or for long periods of time - become downright harmful for active physical culturists like you and me.

Written by | published on
"Soy is healthy!" At least the majority of women in the western hemisphere still seems to believe this. Interestingly, it is this group of individuals who is most susceptible to subclinical and clinical hypothyroidism. A recent study may reveal why... A group of scientists from the UK ( Sathaypalan. 2011 ) investigated the effect an 8 weeks dietary intervention with "high-dose phytoestrogens (30 g soy protein with 16mg phytoestrogens, representative of a vegetarian diet )" on thyroid function in sixty patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. The results were unequivocal - high dose phytoestrogens put your thyroid over the edge : Six patients (10%) developed overt hypothyroidism after high-dose phytoestrogen, and none after low-dose phytoestrogen supplementation. [...] All six subjects were diagnosed as having overt hyothyroidism during their end-of-study visit after the 8-wk high-dose phytoestrogen supplementation period, when they were found to have raised TSH...
