2. CLA
Best for: WHEN YOU WANT TO BOOST YOUR OMEGA INTAKE
CLA is a premium source of conjugated linoleic acid. This supplement in soft-gel form is made by extracting and processing the linoleic acid in safflower oil, which is a form of polyunsaturated, omega 6 essential fatty acid. CLA can be found in small amounts in meat and dairy, but these softgels are an easy way to get a concentrated hit, no matter how busy your schedule. This makes CLA capsules perfect for supporting your workouts, particularly if you live a hectic lifestyle.

3. Thermo
Best for: IF YOU WANT TO BOOST YOUR BURN
The three major ingredients of this supplement are caffeine, green tea extract, and chromium. All three boost the rate at which our body metabolises fat. Science has been experimenting with ways to accelerate our metabolism in order to enhance our efforts to lose weight – one popular way of doing this is a thermogenic supplement. Thermo’s blend of vitamins and minerals not only supports your metabolism; its Vitamin B6 and B12 combat tiredness and fatigue too.

4. Electrolyte Plus
Best for: REPLENISHING YOUR BODY AFTER A WORKOUT
Everyone knows it’s important to stay hydrated. But, often after a sweaty workout in the gym, it is important to replace the minerals in your body. These salts – aka electrolytes – need to be replaced, especially if you exercise regularly. These tablets are much easier to take and more convenient than mixing a standard powder into your gym bottle. They also happen to contain 5 essential minerals: Potassium, Chloride, Calcium, Magnesium, and Sodium.

5. Creatine Monohydrate
Best for: If You’re Working Out Regularly
Creatine has been shown to improve physical performance and is popular among male athletes as a result. If you work out regularly, it’s worth taking this supplement for extra support – especially if the exercise you are doing is high intensity. Creatine is a naturally occurring compound; our body produces it organically in the liver, pancreas and kidneys. We can also source it in small amounts from foods like meat, eggs and fish but, for regular gym-goers, tablets are a more controlled source. This version is made with 99.99% Creatine Monohydrate and is free from impurities and unnecessary by-products. For best results, take five tablets a day for eight weeks, then give your body a break for a week.
