6 Things to Check Before Buying Supplements

Next time you’re in the supplement aisle (or scrolling online), don’t just grab the flashiest label. Here’s what actually matters 👇

01 Transparent & Simple
You should know exactly what’s inside. Skip products with laundry-list formulas or underdosed “magic blends.”

02 Purity & Quality
High-quality, clean ingredients = better results. Watch out for fillers like titanium dioxide, artificial dyes, magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, or talc. They’re cheap, add no benefit, and can sometimes cause gut irritation or reduce absorption.

03 Certification & Testing
Athlete-focused labels (e.g. NZVT, Informed Sport) only confirm a product is free from banned substances. Great, but that’s not enough. Look for independent lab tests proving quality (microbial safety, allergens, heavy metals) to be sure it’s genuinely clean.

04 Bioavailability
If your body can’t absorb it, it won’t work. Choose forms with proven absorption (e.g. magnesium bisglycinate > magnesium oxide) or enhancers like BioPerine®️.

05 Dosage Transparency
Clinical doses matter. Clear amounts listed = trustworthy. “Proprietary blends” usually hide underdosing.

06 Adapted to Your Needs
Choose supplements that match your goals (sleep, recovery, performance). Avoid one-size-fits-all hype.

Pro tip: Supplements aren’t shortcuts nor substitutes—but the right ones can make the difference between just showing up and actually performing at your best.

How to sleep your way to your dream physique.

1. Prioritize heavy, late-afternoon sessions
Growth hormone spikes more after intense resistance training, especially in the late afternoon (3–6PM if possible).
Leave 2–3 hours between training and sleep to allow your nervous system to downshift.

2. Fuel muscle while you sleep
Muscle protein synthesis continues overnight if you supply the building blocks.
→ Slow-digesting protein (casein, eggs, Greek yogurt) + carbs to lower cortisol.
→ Avoid alcohol, it reduces overnight testosterone and growth hormone.

3. Load deep sleep with 8hours
Testosterone, IGF-1, and growth hormone peak during slow-wave sleep.
→ You need 90–120 mins of deep sleep to repair microtears and stimulate hypertrophy.
→ Take 8hours before bed to support deep, uninterrupted sleep and full-body repair.

4. Create a muscle-first sleep environment
Environmental cues regulate melatonin and anabolic hormones.
→ Sleep in a cool (16–18°C), dark, quiet room.
→ No screens or stimulants 1.5–2 hours before bed.

5. Sleep quantity = training volume
Lifting without sleep is like eating protein without digestion.
→ Aim for 8–9 hours during high-volume training blocks.
→ Short on time? Add 20–30 min naps to support recovery.

TL;DR – Build Muscle While You Sleep
→ Lift late afternoon to match hormonal rhythm
→ Fuel with slow protein + carbs
→ Deep sleep = growth → support it with 8hours
→ Dark, cold, screen-free sleep environment
→ Sleep 8–9 hours — or nap if you’re short

Recovery is the multiplier. Don’t waste your training.
