Discount Supplements Guide

We’ve updated our search results to allow you to compare products based on the total price you pay - that is the cost of both the product and delivery to your door.

It makes quite a diference and some of the apparently “cheap” bulk suppliers aren’t quite as cheap when you factor in the delivery cost. Worth thinking about!

For example compare the whey protein prices including delivery and excluding delivery.

As a regular gym goer, I’m always looking at different supplements and wondering “would that increase my performance in the gym”. I guess the best thing anyone can do is ask others what experience they have of using certain supplements, and compare that with the scientific evidence (if any) that backs up the claims made by supplement manufacturers.

So what is ZMA and how does it work?

ZMA typically means Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, Magnesium Aspartate, and vitamin B-6. All minerals which are very useful for anyone doing intense exercise, especially weight-lifting.

The way that ZMA supplements work, is that it doesn’t increase the level of testosterone production in the body, but it helps to rebuild levels of these minerals which are depleted during intense exercise.

So if you didn’t supplement with ZMA, you’re body would start to have lower than normal levels of Zinc, Magnesium and Vitamin B-6, which in turn would lead to lower testosterone production. So by supplementing, you help the body to keep its’ testosterone levels at the right level - which should be higher than normal if you are doing big compound lifts like squats, deadlifts, bench and pull ups!

I have recently been suffering with some knee pains, most likely bought on by the weight training I do, specifically squatting and thus decided to buy a top quality joint care supplement.

It was through the research I had been doing into the various products that we have listed in our database that I became aware of Primaforce Elastamine, a blended joint complex containing MSM, Glucosamine and Chondroitin.

As you can see from the results, the Primaforce Elastamine is the cheapest product when sorted by price / amount, one of, but not the only reason I chose it!

Having now used the product for best part of three weeks, and having continued to squat / deadlift etc, I am now feeling that my knees and other joints are much better than they were before I started taking it.

We’ve been informed today of the release of a new ready-to-drink (RTD) milk protein supplement from My Protein. The new product is called MP MAX ONE Promilk RTD and is available to buy as a single ready to drink bottle, or a pack of eight bottles. In fact they look more like milk cartons but we’ve listed them as bottles for clarity sake!

Only My Protein will be stocking these new products, but you can see that when compared against other products in the “milk isolate” category, this product comes out top.

I recently bought some more creatine monohydrate powder as I’d ran out of my previous stock, which I’d bought from My Protein. Amazingly a 500 gram pouch lasted me from January until the end of August, though I think some of the reason for this is that I wasn’t taking enough. I’ve since reviewed my creatine intake and decided to take a bigger dose each day!

I searched through our results and the cheapest creatine monohydrate powder I could find was Optimum Health Ultimate Creatine. The result shows that there may have been some cheaper alternatives from Bulk Powders, but when you factor in their delivery charge, the price would have been more.

We will be implementing delivery prices to our system in the next few days, such that you will be able to perform price comparisons including the cost of delivery, which should make the system more useful!
