What was the first supplement you ever used?

[MarkD]

I was just thinking about the first supplement I ever bought. I saw it advertised it one of my uncles body building magazines and gave it a shot. I had just started taking working out seriously since I stopped skateboarding and rollerblading aka I got fat. I was about to become a senior in High school, so it was 2002. The product was the original way overdosed Xenadrine. That shit would give me awful panic attacks when I'd smoke weed and was just all around too strong.

What was it for you guys?

Back in the 80's as a teenager I used to get those pre-packaged single serving amino acid packs.They had like 6 or 7 horse pills in them.

The first real supplement I took was probably creatine & that wasn't until I was well into my 30's.

I bought beta sistosterol or some shit, the beef and poultry industry used to use it to beef up livestock and chickens... those of us old enough will remember those giant ass chickens lol. I took two pills and did a set of curls. My veins popped out and I had the most insane pump, so intense my dad noticed and took the fucking bottle from me and said 'you don't need that shit, what the fuck is that anyways?'. I miss my Dad with all my heart, but damn I wanted that bottle back. It was before they fucked up plant sterols to where they just helped with your cholesterol. I was 14 then, 31 years later... still about dem gainz!

Took Cybergenics my senior year in high school which a buddy of mine stole from GNC. It was in a huge box which he simply placed under his sweat shirt and walked out. I was sure he was going to get busted because it was so obvious but somehow nobody noticed. It was expensive stuff and probably total crap.

Xenadrine gained more notoriety in 1998, when an American woman slammed her car into another vehicle at 100 mph, killing two Canadian teens. She was tried on criminal charges, but in 1999 a British Columbia Supreme Court judge found her not guilty by reason of mental illness. She had been taking Xenadrine, which defense attorneys said made her psychotic.

The product’s warning label applies not only to cardiovascular problems, but also to the mind-altering effects ephedrine can have. People who are being treated for psychiatric problems or who may be at risk for mental illness are warned not to take it.

i remember hearing about that later after i had already been using it as i dug into it more but at that time i was only 18 so information was not as easily accessible on shit like this... fuck, the internet had only been really going for about 4-5 years at that time... we were still using fucking dial up... if that tells you anything LOL
