EAT.
REPEAT.
Products are optional. Consistency isn’t.
KNOW WHAT’S IN THE SCOOP.
These aren’t prescriptions or miracle fixes. They’re common supplement categories worth understanding before you buy.
Creatine
Look for plain creatine monohydrate, a clear serving size and an ingredient list that doesn’t read like a chemistry exam.
What to checkProtein
Powder can be convenient if food alone doesn’t suit your routine. Compare protein per serve, ingredients and price per serving.
What to checkPre-workout
Check caffeine per serving, other active ingredients and how much stimulant you’re already consuming. More isn’t automatically better.
What to checkREAD BEFORE YOU SCOOP.
THE LABEL MATTERS MORE THAN THE TUB.
Good packaging is easy. Knowing what you’re paying for takes thirty more seconds.
Check the actual serving
Look at ingredient amounts per serving, not just a flashy front-of-pack claim.
Count the caffeine
Pre-workout plus coffee can add up. Check the label before combining them.
Compare the real cost
Price per serving, shipping and possible import charges matter more than the sticker price alone.
Skip what you don’t need
Supplements don’t replace food, sleep, training or sensible advice from a qualified professional.
