The supplement industry…Ahh that passion fruit pre workout that almost tastes like a soft drink when you’re dieting… Well. We’re here to tell you that they take advantage of us. How? By making us believe that the supplements being sold are absolutely essential to obtain the results we desire.

If you’re a man, they’ll try and tell you that you need to buy product X to gain 10kg of muscle in 1 month.

If you’re a woman, well, they’ll tell you you have to buy tons of fat burners to lose 10kg of fat in a month.

What they “forget” to tell you is that without intelligent nutritional habits and without being consistent in your workouts, you won’t achieve any of the goals you have set for yourself! Well, unless you want to enter the anabolic steroid department. And if so, we’re not your guys.

So, what we’re saying is that you should invest LESS in supplements and MORE in nutrition and training!

We can be smart in our choices of supplements. For example, if at a certain point we need more energy to withstand our training program, we can simply buy caffeine. On the other hand, Whey is just a more convenient source of protein for us to include in our diet, it isn’t essential to achieve our goals. Also, for about 15€ we can buy enough creatine for a year which has been scientifically proven to be very effective in terms of decreasing fatigue while exercising.

To conclude this rant, we’re totally against the false allegations that exist in the supplement industry. These are easily visible in their use of proprietary blends.

Note: Proprietary blends are used when they label a very effective product on their supplement, but no quantity is described. So the supplement can contain only 5% of the necessary dose for it to be effective and another 95% of some other ingredient that is totally useless.
