Supplements

India-focused buying guides for protein powders, vitamins, fitness supplements, label reading, pricing, and safe everyday use.

The Indian supplements market has a counterfeit problem serious enough that where you buy matters as much as what you buy. Beyond authenticity, the useful filters are short: a protein you tolerate, a dose that matches your actual intake gap, and a label that lists amounts rather than a proprietary blend.

Multivitamin vs Individual Supplements: Which Makes Sense?

A multivitamin is convenient and unfocused; individual supplements are targeted and only worth buying if you know what you are targeting.

FAQ

How do I spot a counterfeit protein tub?

Check the importer details, the FSSAI licence number, and the batch code against the brand's verification page. Sealed inner foil and consistent print quality matter; heavy discounts on marketplaces are the biggest red flag.

Do I need a supplement if my diet is reasonable?

Usually not for protein if you are eating enough. Vitamin D and B12 deficiencies are genuinely common in India and worth testing before supplementing.

What does 'proprietary blend' mean on a label?

It means the brand lists the ingredients but not the individual amounts, so you cannot tell whether an active is present at a useful dose. Prefer labels with per-ingredient quantities.
