Athletes take supplements. And while nothing beats getting nutrition from food, supplements are just what they say they are. But not all are created equal. We review a lot of products here and we've noticed that there are supplement brands that are simply head and shoulders above the rest.

These are brands that consistently have supplements that are more effective and are worth the money. Put simply, they just work better. We look for higher potency, better absorption by the body (bio available), natural ingredients, free of petrochemicals and unnecessary additives, quality ingredients and processing and backed by strong company with conscientious  customer support.

We have probably excluded other brands and would love for you to list those in the form of comments so they make it onto our radar but these are the ones that time and again are worthwhile brands and high quality bio available supplements.

Sundown brand supplements- Examples are their Osteo Bi-Flex brand (glucosamine for aching joints) and Melatonin sleep aid

New Chapter Brands - Examples are Wholemega Fish Oil (Memory aid) and ProBiotic (Digestion)

Now Brands- Bromelain (anti inflammatory that is great for injury and sinuses) and D-Mannose (prevents and helps get rid of UTI)
