101 SUPPLEMENTS: THE NO B.S. GUIDE TO WHAT WORKS (AND WHAT DOESN’T)

The supplement industry is packed with bold claims, flashy marketing, and, unfortunately, a lot of misinformation. If you're tired of wasting money on products that don’t work, this guide breaks it down—what actually delivers results and what’s just hype.

At NLA Nutrition, we believe in science-backed formulas with effective doses of ingredients that actually make a difference. No fillers, no gimmicks—just results.

THE SUPPLEMENTS THAT WORK

CREATINE MONOHYDRATE

  • Proven to Work – Backed by decades of research, creatine increases strength, power, and muscle growth.
  • Lies You’ve Been Told – “Creatine causes kidney damage.” False—there's no evidence of harm in healthy individuals.

Our Creatine Monohydrate is pure, effective, and designed to help you build muscle and improve performance. No unnecessary additives—just the real deal.

PRE-WORKOUT SUPPLEMENTS

  • Boosts Performance – Increases energy, focus, and blood flow for a better workout.
  • Lies You’ve Been Told – “All pre-workouts are the same.” Wrong—many are overloaded with caffeine but lack key performance enhancers.

Our Raspberry Pre-Workout is formulated with L-citrulline malate, creatine, and natural energy boosters to fuel your training without the crash.

THERMOGENIC FAT BURNERS

  • Supports Fat Loss – Increases calorie burn, boosts metabolism, and curbs cravings.
  • Lies You’ve Been Told – “Take this and you’ll burn fat without diet or exercise.” No—it's a tool, not a magic pill.

Our Thermogenic Fat Burner combines green tea extract, caffeine, and Bioperine to optimize fat metabolism while keeping your energy levels high.

SUPPLEMENTS THAT ARE MOSTLY HYPE

BCAAs (BRANCHED-CHAIN AMINO ACIDS)

  • Good for Fasted Workouts – Can help with muscle preservation if training on an empty stomach.
  • Not Necessary if You Eat Enough Protein – If you’re consuming enough protein daily, BCAAs offer little additional benefit.

Instead of wasting money on unnecessary BCAAs, prioritize a high-quality protein diet and supplements that actually enhance performance.

FAT BURNERS THAT PROMISE UNREALISTIC RESULTS

  • Some Ingredients Are Effective – Ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract, and L-carnitine can help with fat metabolism.
  • Won’t Work Without Diet and Exercise – Fat burners can support weight loss, but they won’t outwork a poor diet.

That’s why our Thermogenic Fat Burner is designed to complement a solid nutrition plan—helping you stay lean and energized throughout the day.

TESTOSTERONE BOOSTERS

  • May Offer Small Benefits – Some natural ingredients like ashwagandha and zinc can support healthy testosterone levels.
  • Most Are Overhyped – Unless clinically deficient, most testosterone boosters won’t make a noticeable difference.

If you want real performance improvements, focus on proven supplements like Creatine Monohydrate and Pre-Workout instead of relying on unproven test boosters.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Not all supplements are a scam, but many are overhyped. At NLA Nutrition, we don’t cut corners or hide behind marketing gimmicks. We use real science-backed ingredients at effective doses to help you achieve real results.

Whether you're looking for a pre-workout that actually delivers, a fat burner that supports real weight loss, or pure creatine for strength gains, we've got you covered.

Stop wasting money on the hype. Train smarter. Supplement smarter. Get real results with NLA Nutrition.
