UK supplements

Just wondered where eveyone got their supplements from, just had a quick look at the sites advertised here.

How do the different companies (big multinational and smaller national) compare quality wise? i'm not that well up on the technical/ingredients quality side of things.

EDIT - Sorry smyth but companys pay money to advertise on the board

From the edit, am I right in presuming that we can't recommend sites other than the ones advertised here?

it is not that you cannot recommend sites but this was a blatant plug for MyProtein along with a discount code.
you have to understand that boards like this one are kept going through the members contribution and money from sponsors.
what would be the point in company's sponsoring the site if they could not advertise exclusively...

another reason is that for a member to join a board then his very first post to be a blatant plug for a supplement company is very suspicious

Is it ok to link to 'competitor's' sites? I often recommend to people linked from chuks or BP for example. I have no affiliation with these sites yet genuinely order from them because I have had success with them in the past...

guys you misunderstand what i am saying we all thrive on getting recommendations from other bodybuilders concerning what supps work well and linking to sites is not a problem....Nick both CHUKS and BP are sponsors of MC anyway...

but my reason for the edit of the original post was because it was more like
"the best supplement around at Blah please use this code and get a discount"
this is blatant advertising and like i said very suspicious as a first post...i have no issue with Myprotein as a company but i am sure that anything you can get from there you can get from one of the boards sponsors like BulkPowders...
