True or false when it comes to supplement marketing. Most people they are trying their best to market to are 16-25 years of age?
It just seems that many of these supplement companies I see advertising and posting on social networks like instagram and facebook are just putting stuff up that a very young person would find "Cool." A grown adult would be like "Why the **** do I need to drink stuff that is going to cost me 20-30 bucks when I can just use crystal light or MIO and get the same benefits?"
Some of these ****ing supps they come out with are comical at best. Like the flavored water crap that they keep coming out with.
Here's two differences I See between lifters who are in their teens or early 20's and ones that are a little older and are married for example. The kids and young single 20 year olds will spend their paycheck on supplements while a grown adult will head to the grocery store, load up on food, pay their bills and then if they have a little extra left over they will buy a tub of protein and some creatine or a pre workout. Through experience they have learned that there are lots of supps out there that are just a waste of money. Do you even need to supplement with protein? Nope. If you get 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight from real food you are pretty much just spending money to spend money on something that is not really needed. Creatine actually would be a better investment if this is the case.
