What does "ergogenic" mean? (6:00) It is basically anything that enhances athletic performance. There are also "ergonomic" aids specific to equipment. Ergogenic aids are not always worth the packaging they are in. (12:30) However, consuming meat and eggs is ideal for getting protein. There are various other forms of protein powder, but they still aren't as good as meat and eggs. (17:00) Some clinical trials use injected forms rather than ingested forms. (20:30) There has recently been a lot of talk about NAD (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide). (25:00) The reality is, we don't fully know the efficacy of these things. Two ergogenic substances we know are helpful for performance are coffee and creatine monohydrate. (30:00) SARMS and peptides. (39:00) A new claim about GLP-1s is that they cause scurvy, which is typically a vitamin C deficiency. SARMS (selective androgen receptor modulator) and steroids are different. (41:00) The reality is that the boring way works. (52:00) Vinnie addresses a recent issue with UltraSalt.
