I send popular supplement brands to NABL and FSSAI labs for independent testing. You get to see the actual lab reports regarding protein content, heavy metal presence, and adulteration, allowing you to decide whether to invest in a product or save your money. ### The 'Civilian Protein Project' Approach Most people choose supplements based on packaging, celebrity endorsements, or random internet reviews. My approach is different. As an Exercise Physiologist, I believe in evidence, not marketing. When I test supplements, I look for three specific metrics: protein purity, potential adulteration (like starch or filler agents), and heavy metal concentrations. ### Why Lab Testing Matters - **Safety:** Many unverified supplements contain hidden heavy metals or illegal additives that can damage your long-term health. - **Efficacy:** You might pay for a 'protein' supplement that actually contains more carbs and cheap fillers than actual amino acids. - **Budgeting:** My audits help you cut out useless spending on redundant products like BCAAs when your protein intake is already sufficient. ### Common Myth Busting - **Creatine & Caffeine:** A common point of confusion is the interaction between these two. Research suggests that caffeine might interfere with creatine's ergogenic effects. For maximum results, I recommend leaving a two-hour gap between your pre-workout caffeine and your creatine intake. - **Multivitamin Timing:** Taking multivitamins at the wrong time makes them ineffective. Because fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) require fat for absorption, I always advise taking them after your heaviest meal of the day, such as lunch or dinner. ### How to Work with Me Whether you are unsure about the safety of your current whey protein, or you want to know if you actually need a multivitamin stack, I offer a comprehensive **Scientific Supplement Audit**. This covers a deep dive into your current usage, purity checks based on lab data, and dosage optimization tailored to your specific body weight and training intensity. Stop relying on guesswork. Let’s look at the data and build a protocol that is safe, effective, and tailored to your goals. ## About Naresh Yadav I’m Naresh, and I’m here to stop the guessing games.
