IM INDUSTRY INSIDER
Science You Can Trust
Orthopedic surgeon, IFBB pro, and nutritional consultant,
Dr. Victor Prisk is a reliable advocate for the power of supplements.
I
t can be easy to become cynical about
dietary supplements. Every other week
there seems to be a story about a
product that does not contain what the
manufacturer claims on the label. Other
products contain so little of an active
ingredient you’d need four servings to get
an effect. It can feel like supplements are
created by number-crunching accountants
or marketing hucksters rather than scien-
tists or fellow bodybuilders.
So, who can you trust? We went to Dr.
Victor Prisk, a board-certified orthopedic
surgeon and longtime consultant of GNC.
A former All-American gymnast, Prisk
became interested in bodybuilding during
his surgical residency at the University
of Pittsburgh. He won his IFBB pro card
as a welterweight bodybuilder and later
competed as a pro in the Classic Physique
division. As a clinician, pro athlete, and
supplement industry expert, Prisk reviews
new products from an incredibly well-in-
formed perspective. His knowledge and
experience allows him to recognize differ-
ences in quality and veracity between the
various products vying for space and atten-
tion in the marketplace. Ultimately, Prisk is
passionate about the role of high-quality
supplements in the regimen of athletes
and non-athletes alike, and is a tireless
advocate for brands that have displayed
diligence, integrity, and transparency.
