Walking
into a nutritional supplement store and finding the right product can
be overwhelming. The shelves are lined with products that can do
everything from cure ailments to help you lose weight. According
to the experts at BioRhythm, most people fall victim to three pitfalls of choosing a supplement – the main one being price.
“Most
supplement companies fight for that space by appearing to offer a
premium product with bargain prices. However, logic tells us that if you
find a Ferrari with a Kia price tag, something is wrong,” says
BioRhythm CEO and founder, Mark Mangieri.
Here are the 3 mistakes you need to avoid when selecting supplements:
1.
Cheaper is not better. The
most important factor supplement users give when choosing a supplement
is price. But there are many ways to reduce the quality
of a supplement while maintaining a perceived value. Keep an eye out
for fillers, proprietary blends that contain more than two or three
ingredients and serving sizes that are unrealistically small. “You only
have one body and you shouldn’t waste time trying
to get professional results with a buy one, get one sale,” Mangieri
says.
2.
Overconsumption of protein.
More is not better, Mangieri says. Protein consumption studies show up
to 1.5 grams and sometimes 2.0 grams per kilogram
of protein per day can be beneficial for an elite heavily trained
athlete. No additional lean mass gains or body fat reduction is noted
over 2 grams of protein per kilogram (2g/2.2lb). After a workout, 20
grams for a 185 lb. trained athlete is the “Goldilocks”/ideal
zone (approx. 0.1g per lb).
3.
Packaging and store placement. Yes,
the shiny label in the cool textured bottle stacked in a giant pyramid
at the front of the store can make you feel
like a bug attracted to a florescent light. However some of the most
innovative formulas backed by solid science may be on the bottom shelf
at the back of the store. Many companies pay to be in the front and as a
result may have less in their budget for real
science in the bottle.
