I think the first step is figuring out what you actually need instead of buying something just because everyone at the gym uses it

Having a clear goal makes it much easier to decide what is worth buying and what is probably unnecessary

I stopped buying supplements based on social media recommendations because most of them made more sense in the marketing than in real life

I look at the ingredients and the actual amount provided rather than getting attracted by a fancy label

If my diet already covers something well I usually do not see much reason to supplement it

I think people should sort out their food sleep and training before spending a lot on supplements

Checking whether a supplement has good evidence behind it saves me from wasting money on random products

I try to buy only one new supplement at a time so I can actually judge whether it is useful

Comparing the cost per serving helps because some products look cheap until you realize how few servings they contain
