Suppliments

As a fitness coach and physical therapist I routinely field questions regarding supplements.  While everyone's goals and circumstances differ, making general recommendations difficult, I can offer this general recommendation regarding supplements.  Please make sure any supplement you take has been certified by one of the following organizations:

NSF

USP

Consumer Lab
