I contacted NutraBio CEO Mark Glazier, asking […]

Thaumatin (Katemfe Fruit Extract): Natural Low-Calorie Sweetener
When purchasing supplements, the leading factor in consumer’s decision should be ingredient effectiveness. If a pre-workout doesn’t have the right ingreedients to help you get a great workout, then why buy it?

Nutrition Facts Scam: Dose Low, Round Down, & Multiply!
“Supplement math”.

We find ourselves saying it when a label’s active ingredients cannot possibly add up to what the serving size states, an unfortunately not-uncommon occurrence. Oftentimes, it’s fueled by a ridiculous proprietary blend, and at other times, […]
