I’ve made it abundantly clear that I am pro-supplement when it comes to physical fitness.  I take close to 10 different vitamins and supplements daily.  I have experimented with various supplements over the years and have settled on a regimen that I feel has suited my needs nicely.

My weight training various in intensity and I design my regimen to match my current level of intensity.  At the moment I’m more focused on creating an abundance of energy (without caffeine) then I am on explosive muscle growth.. so my regimen reflects this.

I am constantly reading up on the latest news in the supplement world, and was happy to see today the Bodybuilding.com released their 4th annual supplement awards.  The Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards are the industry standard for recognition of the best products and brands in the fitness and supplement industry.

All nominations were based on sales, and since customers’ opinions are what truly count, Bodybuilding.com let the general public provide 100% of the final vote this year.

The 2008 Bodybuilding.com Supplement Awards winners are:

• Overall Supplement of the Year – Optimum 100% Whey Protein (4th year in a row!)
• New Product of the Year – MuscleTech Anabolic Halo
• Muscle Builder of the Year – BSN NO-Xplode (4th year in a row!)
• Fat Loss Product of the Year – Nutrex Lipo 6 (4th year in a row!)
• Energy Product of the Year – BSN Atro-Phex
• Weight Gainer of the Year - BSN True-Mass (2nd year in a row!)
• Protein Powder of the Year – Optimum 100% Whey Protein (4th year in a row!)
• Protein Bar of the Year – Next Detour Bars (3rd year in a row!)
• Creatine Product of the Year– BSN CellMass (4th year in a row!)
• Glutamine Product of the Year – SciVation Xtend (2nd year in a row!)
• Nitric Oxide Product of the Year – BSN NO-Xplode (4th year in a row!)
• Multi-Vitamin of the Year – Universal Nutrition Animal Pak (4th year in a row!)
• Tanning Product of the Year – Pro Tan Instant Competition Color (3rd year in a row!)

I think this is a good idea to recognize the top selling supplements like this.  The supplement industry is largely unregulated… and it helps from a customers perspective to see what others are buying.  Although it doesn’t necessarily mean its the best on the market… the fact that it has outsold its competitors means that the product has to be of some value.
