If you are new to supplements, the amount of options out there is overwhelming. Creatine, protein, pre workout, BCAAs, fat burners, test boosters, collagen, multivitamins. Where do you even start? And what is actually worth your money versus what is just marketing hype?
We have been in the supplement game for years and we are going to give you the straight truth. No BS. No upselling you stuff you do not need. Here is exactly what to take based on your goals.
If You Can Only Afford One Supplement: Protein
Protein is the foundation of everything. Without enough protein, your muscles cannot recover and grow. Period. Most people need 0.8 to 1 gram per pound of bodyweight daily. If you weigh 180 pounds, that is 144 to 180 grams of protein every single day.
Getting that from food alone is tough. That is where a quality whey isolate comes in. One scoop of Impact Whey Protein Isolate gives you 25g of fast absorbing protein with minimal calories. Mix it with water or milk post workout and you are covered.
Why whey isolate over concentrate? Isolate is filtered to remove most of the fat and lactose. It absorbs faster, causes less bloating, and delivers more protein per gram. It costs a bit more but the difference in quality is massive.
Second Priority: Creatine
Creatine monohydrate is the single most researched supplement in existence. Over 500 studies. It is proven to increase strength by 5 to 10%, boost muscle volume, improve recovery, and even support brain function. And it costs pennies per serving.
Take 5 grams every day. It does not matter when. Just be consistent. You do not need to load. You do not need to cycle. Just take it daily and within 2 to 4 weeks your muscles will be fully saturated and you will notice the difference in your lifts.
If you hate mixing powder, our Beast Bites Creatine Gummies are the easiest way to get your daily creatine. Two gummies. Done. They actually taste good and you will never forget to take them.
Third Priority: Pre Workout (If You Train Hard)
A good pre workout is not just caffeine in a fancy tub. It should contain ingredients that actually improve performance. Look for citrulline (6g+), beta alanine (3.2g), and caffeine (200 to 350mg). Avoid proprietary blends that hide doses.
Release The Beast is our high stim pre workout with fully transparent dosing. You know exactly what you are putting in your body and exactly how much. If you train in the evening or are sensitive to caffeine, our Primal Surge No Stim gives you pump and focus without any stimulants.
For Women: What Is Different?
Women need the same basics as men. Protein, creatine (yes, creatine is amazing for women and will NOT make you bulky), and a pre workout if you train intensely. The only additions worth considering are collagen for skin, hair, and joint health.
Our Beauty Bites Collagen Gummies combine Type I and III collagen with Biotin, Vitamin C, and Selenium in a tasty gummy. Two per day supports skin elasticity, stronger nails, thicker hair, and healthier joints.
What You Do NOT Need (Save Your Money)
- Mass gainers (unless you genuinely cannot eat enough food)
- Testosterone boosters (unless you are over 30 and feeling symptoms of low T)
- Fat burners (unless your diet and training are already dialed in)
- BCAAs (if you are already hitting your protein target, BCAAs are redundant)
Start with protein and creatine. Train consistently for 3 months. Then add from there based on your specific goals. Do not buy 10 supplements on day one. Build the foundation first.
The Beginner Stack We Recommend
If you want to keep it simple and effective:
- Impact Whey Protein Isolate (post workout)
- Beast Bites Creatine Gummies (daily, any time)
- Release The Beast Pre Workout (before training)
That covers protein synthesis, strength and recovery, and workout performance. Everything else is a bonus once you have these three locked in.
