Anyone that’s ever used PricePlow knows and loves A1 Supplements, one of the longest-standing and most-trusted e-commerce supplement stores on the internet.
A1 has made a huge difference thanks to their impeccable customer service, fast shipping, and non-stop stream of Buy 1 Get 1 Free offers.
Through that customer service, they’ve learned a few things over the changing years: many customers just want the basics. While we’ve been happy at PricePlow to see formulas grow larger and more complex, and enjoy researching rare and exotic ingredients, it is not for everyone.
Some of their customers wanted it simple. So they did something about it.
Introducing the A1 Plus+ Line
Pronounced “A1 Plus”, A1 Supplements has announced the creation of the A1 Plus+ line of supplements, which has begun with three simple and effective supplements for those who want to keep it basic – and keep their money in their wallets.
At launch in October 2018, A1 Plus+ has launched with the following:
Further, they’re eventually turning this into an Amazon Prime like program that offers free shipping and far more. We have the details, but first take a look at A1 Plus+ prices and sign up for news alerts on PricePlow as more and reviews roll out:

The A1 Plus+ Supplements
A1 keeps it short and sweet, just the way many of us like it:
-
A1 Plus+ Pre-Workout
Even a private labeled ‘house brand’ has to launch with a pre! Just take a look at this formula — literally no nonsense!
- 3g L-Citrulline
- 1.2g Beta Alanine
-
175mg Caffeine
It comes in 30 six-gram scoops and is sucralose-sweetened.
This is literally as simple as it gets — a “clinical” dose of citrulline[1] and moderate doses of caffeine and beta alanine for those of you who aren’t looking to get your faces smoked off.
We put the word “clinical” in quotes there because the study cited used 6g citrulline malate to get its results, and 6g citrulline malate yields over 3g citrulline, so we should be good on the nitric oxide production front.
Meanwhile, 1.2g beta alanine should be enough to get a bit of carnosine production (3.2g/day is the clinical dose, spread throughout four doses in a day), again, without tingling your face off.
And 175mg caffeine is exactly what A1’s “less-insane” customers wanted — we all know this could easily be two-scooped.
It comes in Fruit Punch and Glacier Raz flavors, to be reviewed on the PricePlow channel.

A1 Plus+ Creatine
This is a pure creatine monohydrate supplement powder, with 60 servings each at 5g (300g tub). No other colors, flavors, thickeners, or anything else.
What more is there to say about creatine? Outside of caffeine and protein, it’s the most well-studied supplement ingredient on the market, and dozens of studies at 3-5g/day have shown its use for:
- Increased power and strength[2,3]
- Supports lean mass gains[4,5]
- Decreases fatigue[6]
- Improves cellular hydration[7,8]
We’ll get into this later, but we have a feeling A1 will be including this as an “add-on offer” with other supplements that don’t include creatine.

Same goes for the next supplement:
-
A1 Plus+ BCAA 2:1:1
It’s a low-cost BCAA supplement that comes in two flavors: Frozen Blitz (which seems to be bombsicle / rocket pop, given the marketing) and Grape Fury. It comes in 30 6.6g scoops, each yielding 2.5g leucine, 1.25g isoleucine, and 1.25g valine each.
PricePlow readers have argued for years whether BCAAs are useful or not – we’re always happy to grab some more leucine, and appreciate their anti-fatigue[9,10] and anti-catabolism properties, especially if nearing the end of a fast and wanting to train.
A1 goes with what their customers want, and their customers want low-cost, simple BCAAs that have fun flavor to them:

The line may expand in the future, but this initial launch brings just the basics – with some flavor.
A brand that matches the store
A1 is a trusted store whose customers stick around. They simply want to give their customers a sweet bang for the buck, from a brand they trust using high quality ingredients they trust. They’re not trying to outdo anyone – they’re just making supplements that everyone can take.
The pre workout tells the story
Take a look at the pre workout — three simple and effective ingredients. Many people who want a formula like this (the kind of athlete who would scoff at 95% of our blog posts) have almost nowhere to turn.
Many of them end up building it themselves. But then you have to tinker with messy powders, worry about snapping caffeine tablets, or just take a bunch of pills.
A1 Plus+ does them a huge favor with this pre – it gives them their three basic ingredients, flavors it, and provides the scoop. No more tinkering!
From A1’s statement
After being in business for over 28 years, we have decided the time is opportune to come out with our own private line of supplements… We are out to give you the best quality dietary supplements at the best price without a question and that is our promise to our customers.
— A1 Supplements
These supplements are made in an FDA-registered, GMP-certified facility.
What’s coming next from A1 and A1 Plus+?
First off, we’re assuming you’ll see these supplements offered as add-ons with other deals and gift options A1 is running – why wouldn’t they?
But there’s more to this coming soon:
An Amazon Prime like program at A1 Supplements?!
The last piece of news is that A1’s in the process of creating a “Prime” like program to save their customers even more money! It will be called A1 Plus! and will have something like two levels. One for free shipping if you spend a certain amount (to be determined), and another that upgrades you to a 10% discount and free shipping, with several exclusives, first dibs on new products, and other members-only options. This is for the A1 faithful who have stuck with the store for so long.
We don’t have a timeline on this, but it’s coming, so sign up for our A1 Plus+ alerts and we’ll notify you when it’s live or we have more reviews on PricePlow’s YouTube channel!
A1 brings the basics back
Until then, check out these supplements. In a world where pre workouts have grown to 25g monsters that look bigger than protein powder scoops, the basic bros out there have been left out in the cold.
Now you can come back into the warm and ditch the homemade concoctions… and snag some great deals in the process.
