Can't Always Believe What You Read

You may have heard that supplements are not regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), that is true. However, very reputable companies do go to measures to ensure that their product is quality.
Supplements may or may not contain the ingredients that are listed below the nutrition facts. Regardless of the health claim that you are taking the supplement for……………… if it sounds to good to be true then it probably is, you at least want to be consuming a product that contains the ingredients you are looking for.
What to look for: products do go through registration with the NSF National Sanitation Foundation to ensure the ingredients are what they say they are.
As for taking supplements first figure out if what you are taking is doing what you are wanting and more importantly if you can consume it from whole food first. Consult a registered dietitian to help you determine the most safe and effective and my general rule: Keep It Safe and Simple (KISS)
Remember as with any healthy habit, you want to be able to adopt a healthy lifestyle. So if you cannot take it forever, the results will not last.

  I have been at Strongside for close to two months. I have never been in a workout environment that feels so supportive and encouraging.  I highly recommend Nutriformance for everyone who is looking for a place to belong.

  This is the best lifters gym I've ever been to. There is an almost overwhelming amount of equipment on the upper level.

  I like the variety of exercises and intensities, but my favorite part is the technology that allows me to hold myself accountable for my effort and performance.

  Great local gym. Lots of weights and machines, friendly staff, and not too crowded.

  I am so happy I know this place is here now! I booked a massage with Alexis, I had been in need of one desperately from working at home in the wrong chair for the past few months. She was so kind and intuitive and really knew the exact areas to address. I feel like a new person now, one of the best massages I have ever had! I didn't know they offer pilates here as well and the studio is gorgeous. The atmosphere was great and very clean. I will definitely be back soon!

  I couldn’t recommend Alexis (massage therapist) enough. She is kind, professional and knowledgeable every time I see her. She makes me feel comfortable and is mindful of aches and spots on my body that might need more or less attention. I feel so relaxed every time I leave and never want the massages to end. She’s great and I highly recommend her!

  The reopening protocols that Nutriformance have implemented are identical to those we are currently using in the professional sports world and my confidence is such that I am completely comfortable bringing my 8- year old son in on a weekly basis to continue his training.  The awareness of the staff and their sensitivity to our current health situation are of the utmost priority, based on my observations over the last couple of weeks.  If you are an athlete looking to gain a competitive edge over your opponents, a young athlete trying to refine your basic athletic qualities or an adult just looking to stay healthy - I would make Nutriformance my first call.
