For those of you who remember buying Supplements in 1999, which brands where popular?

[firstandgoal]

I remember buying supplements from 1999 when I was in high school. Everyone on my football team started buying Creatine and Ripped Fuel and Andro when Mark McGwire said he used that stuff. They also took Mass Gainers or weight gainers, these were the worst they would bloat you and make you fart or have the runs and either tasted really chalky or way to sweet.

I remember the most popular supplement brand at the time was Twinlab and EAS and G N C, MetRX, Universal Nutrition, Designer whey stuff. Muscle Tech was known for their funny ads with Lee Priest bloated and lean. People used to take Weider supps too but they tasted so bad.

The supplements that I would always buy since I was skinny were the Weight gainer or mass gainers, I used to down those in water and chug them because they tasted horrible, but I remember buying the Myoplex MRP's in pouches and they were so good at the time but expensive.

Memories

[Big_Spaz]

This is about the time I started supplements as well (actually 1997 for me).

I remember I was a HUGE EAS guy. I had the book by the brothers and I would read that like it was my bible (supplement bible I guess ) and used Phos****en, HMB, Myoplex, you name it.

Then I smartened up a bit over the years, starting taking less and less (and spending less and less) and getting better and better results. Go figure

Them taco bell gainz

[OT2000]

I remember Pinnacle. Used them a couple of times. Those times was my only venture to the dark side ( legal ). But I was in college tryin to get swole at all costs. Good thing I was a PT and knew about proper dosage and err...what to do during/after etc.

Original and first T-Bomb. MHP. Was ridiculous for strength. Ridiculous.

[naturalguy]

Well creatine monohydrate is still the best bang for your buck supplement out there and today's weight gainers taste great and digest much, much better

I was working at Vitamin Shoppe back then. The most popular were a lot of the brands that you listed above. And it feels good to see that Universal Nutrition is still popular and maybe even more popular today

[Goldeneagle76]

Ultimate Orange and Myoplex were a couple I used back then

Damn, you beat me to the Ultimate Orange! I can still taste it if I think about it. Also supplemented with a lot of Stovetop Stuffing...poor college kid at the time. And the Twinlab Creatine fuel packets sold in a box. Man, I had to tell my lifting partners back then to give me about 30 mins notice before they were ready to go. I would down that nasty shake and then have a blowout about 20 mins later. Those were the days!

I remember Ultimate Orange from the 90s. It didn't taste great but damn it really worked!

[Sozzeled]

Smaller Dose of Ultimate orange before my wrestling matches!

Yeah it's crazy that we have stood the test of time especially now when you see how many companies there are out there.

MuscleTech definitely hasn't disappeared and is still a leader in sports nutrition.
