Small-Scale Question Sunday for March 15, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

No email address required.

What supplement brands (vitamins, minerals, creatine, pre-workout, etc) do you trust and use? How did you make that determination?

I buy most from Sam's Club, I generally trust that the products will be quality and won't kill me.

And you get bulk pricing.

If its grey-market stuff, I intentionally look for sellers that have a physical presence that is close enough to me that I could, if needed, show up and confront someone personally and/or burn down their building.

Or, more seriously, that makes it easy to attempt legal action on them, although if you dig into how these entities are structured, its clear they're really trying to make it hard to pin them down.

Beyond that, repeated positive interactions and referrals from trusted friends are the go-to.
