How to Choose the Right Supplement Supplier

I’ve been a fitness and bodybuilding coach for almost 28 years. In many ways, I’ve grown alongside this field — what used to be a pioneering niche nearly three decades ago has now become, in 2025, a true wellness and performance industry.

The Evolution of Fitness Toward Wellness

I’ve witnessed the natural evolution of fitness (and tried to evolve with it) — from simple physical training, in gyms or outdoors, to today’s complex relationship that includes:

• psychology,

• sociology,

• nutrition,

• ergogenic supplementation,

• and behavioral change.

Unlike the early days, fitness is now part of a broader concept called WELLNESS. This evolution is natural, and as professionals, we must adapt and grow with it — through continuous education.

The Growing Role of Nutrition and Supplements

An essential part of this evolution is nutrition, and more specifically, nutritional supplements, which target different aspects of human health and performance.

Today, countless companies offer dozens of products. But the key question remains:
👉 How do we choose what truly works — for us or for our clients?

The Classic Supplements from the Early Days

If I had stayed at the level of 20–28 years ago, I would have focused on a few classic, performance-oriented supplements — the ergogenic ones:

• caffeine

• creatine

• beta-alanine

• nitric oxide

• sodium bicarbonate

Over time, new categories appeared — supplements for:

• fat burning,

• joint health,

• faster recovery,

• and increased micronutrient support due to physical effort.

All of these were directly related to athletic performance and physical activity.

The Supplement Industry Today

As fitness evolved, so did the supplement industry. The market exploded with innovation, new product categories, and — inevitably — a flood of useless products.

So the big question became:
What should I choose, from whom, and for whom?

On one side, we have the major, well-established brands in sports nutrition. Their product ranges are focused mainly on performance and recovery, often similar to one another — differing mostly in branding, flavor, and marketing.

If my focus is strictly on athletic performance and recovery, I look at:

• pre-workout supplements

• intra-workout supplements

• post-workout supplements

• fat burners

• joint support

• multivitamins and multiminerals

• hydration formulas

• protein shakes

• gainers

Fitness Is No Longer Just About Exercise

Modern fitness means more than movement — it’s about a balanced lifestyle.
So the question now is:
👉 Where can we find supplements that match this new reality — the combination of sport, health, and wellness?

Until recently, I used to buy what I needed from different brands, depending on my goals at the time. But as the years passed (I’ll soon turn 49), my needs evolved and diversified.

The Brand That Meets All These Needs: VitaXynergy

Fortunately, I found a brand that offers everything I need in one place — quality, great taste, and variety: VitaXynergy.

I started collaborating with them because, as I like to say:

“The best always sit at the same table.”

What Makes VitaXynergy Different

VitaXynergy provides a comprehensive range of products that bridge the gap between sports performance and wellness, with specialized formulations for men and women, tailored to their specific needs.

The Supplements I Personally Use

Here’s my current supplement list, adapted to my age and goals:

• Whey Protein

• Liquid Magnesium Shot

• Liquid Liposomal Vitamin C

• Liquid Amino Acid Shot

• Coenzyme Q10

• Omega 3 + Vitamin E

• Vitamin C + D3 + Zinc

• Lecithin

• Liver Support

• Prostate Guard

• GH + Sleep Powder

I also add creatine and BCAA — and with that, I have everything I need to maintain my performance, recovery, and overall balance.

Every individual has their own needs, but VitaXynergy offers solutions for all ages, goals, and lifestyles.
