I usually just use those lists as a starting point, then dig around for more info. I feel like everyone’s got a different idea of what “the best” even means anyway.

Yeah, it can be overwhelming at first. Some lists are just clickbait, but there are a few that dig deeper and actually explain why certain shops make the cut. I remember checking out a https://playgroundworld.com/var/arti...retailers.html article when I was figuring out where to buy anavar. What helped was the breakdown of shipping policies and customer service for each retailer. That gave me a lot more confidence compared to some generic “best of” list with zero details. So yeah, sometimes those lists are actually useful, you just have to look for ones that don’t sound like pure marketing.

Are “top 5” retailer lists really helpful for beginners?

When I first started looking into supplements, I got hit with so many “top 5” lists for everything—pre-workout, protein, you name it. Sometimes I wonder if those lists are even made for people just starting out or if they’re just ads in disguise. Did anyone here actually find those kinds of lists helpful when you were new?
