Getting your daily nutritional needs, in the modern era of mass production of food, is becoming increasingly difficult.
Are the foods we eat as nutrient dense as they were 50 years ago? Research has shown the answer is NO.
Fruits and Vegetables are picked earlier, before ripening on the vine or in the tree, and artificially ripened on a truck, boat, or other shipping equipment before fully developing and giving us their full nutritional value.
And, with our lives getting busier, it has become even more difficult to take the time to prepare full, balanced meals to give you what you need as a high performing athlete.
Nutritional supplements are a great way to add in what you are not getting daily, and to enhance your diet and bridge the performance gap.
But, where do you begin? How do you know if what you are buying is any better and actually provides the additional nutrients?
That's a great question.
And, it's highly likely if you looked around at different shops, you realized there a lot of companies claiming they will work magically to give you what you want.
However, buyer beware! First, there is no magic pill.
And Second, not all supplements are healthy for you.
Third, most supplements are not tested - meaning you don't know what you're getting, and there is no accountability to make sure you are getting what's on the label. How would you know if there are any 'banned substances' in the product you are taking? Who is liable if you would test positive for a banned substance? You could ruin your career, and worst yet, your health could tank.
So, as experienced performance coaches who have worked with elite international governing bodies, and have worked alongside some of the best sports nutritionists in the world, we are very careful in finding nutritional supplements to recommend to our clients.
Over the last 25 years, there are only a handful of companies or products that we would recommend.
This page and list provides you with direct links and access to, what we have found, to be the most reliable and effective nutritional supplements on the market today.
And, even better yet, they are all THOROUGHLY tested...
These nutritional supplements have been tested rigorously and are the choice of many professional coaches in the elite performance industry.
How much testing, you ask?
We have been in the fitness and performance industry for 25 years and have watched the supplement industry grow by leaps and bounds, and get flooded with products that are just not safe or healthy, not 100% true to what's on the label, and some that have banned substances that could cost elite athletes millions of dollars, tarnish their image, and ruin their career.
So, when we searched for trustworthy, safe and thoroughly tested products, we knew we were looking for NSF certified products, which require an extra level of testing for purity and to guarantee they were banned substance free.
In our search, and through our experience using several different brands with our clients, we chose to support Thorne nutritional supplements.
We are in the process of also creating our own branded line of tested products, and plan to pair these (soon) with the excellent products available at Thorne.
