Did you know that over 70% of U.S. women use dietary supplements regularly? And among female athletes, the number is even higher, with many reporting regular supplement use to support their training and performance goals (1). However, supplements may be mislabeled, or worse, may contain toxic or banned substances underscoring the critical importance of making informed choices about what you put into your body.
But if you’ve ever browsed the supplement aisle feeling more overwhelmed than a newbie at their first race, you’re not alone. With so many products promising to turn you into a superhero, it’s tough to know what works—and what’s worth your hard-earned money. This is why we designed ELITE ESSENTIALS, a curated supplement list designed to take the guess work out of supplement selection & ensure you are purchasing high quality, safe and effective options.
Why ELITE ESSENTIALS?
- Quality Over Quantity: In a world full of options, we believe in choosing only the best. Our curated list features supplements that have passed rigorous testing for purity, safety and quality and have high quality evidence supporting their effectiveness. No fillers, no fluff, no banned ingredients—just the essentials.
- Safety First: Your health & performance is our top priority. Every supplement on our list has been 3rd party tested for safety & quality, so you can feel confident that what you’re taking is both safe and effective.
- Performance-Driven: Whether you’re aiming to boost your energy, optimize performance, enhance recovery, or support overall health, each supplement is selected with your health & performance in mind.
- Save Time & Money: It takes time to sift through the marketing claims, stay up-to-date on the scientific evidence & to ensure the supplement is 3rd party tested for safety & quality. Let us do the work for you.
- Designed Exclusively for Women: Women are significantly under-represented in sport & exercise science research including supplement research meaning supplements designed primarily on men may not work as well for women. Our list reflects the latest evidence on supplement efficacy in women.
What’s On/Not On the ELITE ESSENTIALS List?
Each supplement on the list has a description of its key function(s), recommended audience(s), potential interactions, dosing information, and a short list of 1-3 brands that are 3rd party tested along with links to purchase (and if available, a Nutrify discount code). However, this is not an exhaustive list of supplements, rather, it reflects the most common nutrient needs we see in practice and the trusted brands that we’ve researched & recommend to our clients.
