Nutrition and Food Supplements

Nutritional Supplements - What's Right For you?

We've been selling protein powders, food supplements and nutritional supplements for over 20 years now. One thing we've learned in that time is that there isn't one product that's right for everyone.

Firstly, there are the obvious differences between what you'd like to achieve. If you want to gain weight or muscle bulk there there are many protein powders, creatine, energy bars, carbohydrate powders and more.

If on the other hand you want to lose weight, then there are several products available like fat burners, diet bars, diet shakes and others

Then there are vitamin supplements and performance foods that are designed for specific uses

As you can see from this brief introduction, there"'"s a lot to take in but don't worry. Start from where you think is best. If you want to gain muscle then buy protein powder and lift weights. If you want to lose weight or trim down then go for a diet drink or bar and take part in regular cardio excercise. Remember, there have been few supplements that have ever had an effect on their own.

Your Safety when Taking Supplements

No doubt many of you have heard the odd horror stories about so called nutritional aids causing various problems for those who take them. Luckily as we live in the UK, laws regarding nutritional supplements are pretty strict:

Under the EU Food Supplements Directive supplements will only be able to include vitamins and minerals taken from an approved list. It will also establish minimum levels of vitamins and minerals that can be used – and maximum levels where there is a risk from eating too much. The Directive also ensures that they have to be clearly labelled.
