What's up, guys?
Sean Nalewanyj here.
It’s been a few weeks since I last uploaded a video.
The reason being that I've been really hard at work here.
It’s kind of behind the scenes, not just for the past few weeks but actually for the
past year and a half on a new project that I’d just completed that I wanted to quickly
talk about here before I go back to putting out my regular informative videos.
Now, anyone who follows my contents, whether it’s here on YouTube or over on my blog
or on Instagram and facebook, you guys know that I’ve been very outspoken when it comes
to the supplement industry.
I genuinely believe that probably ninety to ninety-five percent of body building and fitness
supplements are basically a complete BS, and if they're not a complete BS even then they're
still not useful enough to be worth your money.
And there are a lot of different reasons for that which I've talked about many times in
my past videos; ineffective ingredients that aren’t backed by legit research.
Keep in mind that only a very small percentage of muscle building and fat burning compounds
are actually supported by real scientific studies, and most of them, no matter how convincing
the advertisements might seem, most of them will actually do very little to absolutely
nothing for you.
Even when researched, that compounds are used, they're usually under dose so you don’t
end up getting a useful amount of each one anyway.
Most supplements are promoted with excessive marketing hype that way over exaggerates their
benefits.
They're usually overpriced for what they are.
And then on top of all those things you’ve also got other obstacles to deal with like
proprietary blends, there's blatant label fraud, low quality manufacturing, it’s really
just a mess out there in the industry, for a lack of a better word.
And as a result to that, a lot of people, especially beginners but even more experienced
lifters too, they end up being misled, they end up wasting their time and money along
the way, and they lose focus on the essentials of what it takes to build a great physique,
which is, of course, proper training and nutrition.
Now, with that being said, if you do follow my content regularly then you also know that
even though most of what's out there, supplement-wise, is best avoided there are still a select few
supplements that I’ve consistently recommended over the years that are backed by good support
of research and that can be used as an optional add-on to maximize you results if, and only
if, you use them in conjunction with a solid training and nutrition plan.
Now, they are by no means going to boost your gains into the stratosphere, they're not gonna
take the place of hard work in the gym by any means, but they can help to improve the
overall convenience of your program and just give you a small extra boost in terms of training
performance and overall long term results in general.
High quality protein powder, creatine monohydrate, fish oil, multivitamin and certain pre-workout
compounds, those are, sort of, the basics that I’d personally used and that I've been
recommending in my previous videos and my articles.
Now, one question or one request that I was regularly getting from my readers and my viewers
in YouTube was whether or not I would consider putting out my own brand of those few products
that I do genuinely believe in.
And this was something that I went back and forth quite a bit.
I did put out a few supplements, quite a few years back, but ultimately discontinued them
mainly for financial reasons because I just wasn’t really prepared at that time for
everything that was involved with running a supplement line.
But, yeah, I just wasn’t sure if it was something I wanted to do.
I wasn’t sure even if they will be much of a market for it because when you promote
supplements using a really straight up, honest approach, it’s not gonna be anywhere near
as exciting or a flashy as the usual hyped up approach that pretty much all the big companies
used.
But ultimately, back, probably around early 2017, I decided that even if this did only
appeal to a much smaller crowd; people who aren’t looking for a quick fix, people who
have a solid training plan in place and who understand the role that supplements play
in the overall scheme, and if it provide some good values to my viewers, and if it did have
a positive impact on the industry in general jut by helping to move people away from the
typical junky products that they were regularly buying, then in the end I figured that it
was worthwhile.
So, with that said, I want to let you guys know that after a year and a half of very
hard work on this, a ton of long hours of research, testing and tweaking, that Real
Science Athletics has launched today.
The website is live over at www.RealScienceAthletics.com.
The link is down in the description box and you can also click up here as well.
We’ve got three clean, simple, research backed, properly dosed products available;
a pre-workout, a multivitamin and a fish oil.
So, three supplements that I used and have been recommending for a long time, and I really
honestly believe that these are the optimal choices in the specific product categories
right now in terms of striking the right balance between effectiveness but also simplicity
in price.
There's a lot of companies out there who market themselves as being honest and science based
and for the people, but when it really comes down to it they're still putting unnecessary
ingredients in their formulas, they're still overpriced, they're still using shady marketing
tactics.
So, my goal here is to really do this the right way and live up to the name of the brand,
which is Real Science.
No BS, no gimmicks.
The margins on these products are a lot lower than most other supplements.
I didn’t cut any corners here with productions so the costs on our end are a lot higher.
I’m, by no means, gonna be making huge profit on each sale, but the goal here is to play
the bigger picture game and think longer term with this.
Now, I know there are gonna be some immediate reactions down in the comment section; Oh,
my God, you're selling supplements.
How could you?
Guys, keep in mind that this is all fully in line and fully consistent with my previous
recommendations and with my ethics.
These are the same supplements I’ve been personally using in my own program and that
I’ve been recommending to you guys for years, even when they were different brands that
I wasn’t making anything from.
And these are very high quality and affordable versions of those supplements that I really
think improve on most, if not all, the current ones that you'll find out there.
Now, you can find all of the exact details behind each product on the website.
I don’t want this video to go on for too long.
I don’t wanna turn this into some sort of bug infomercial here, but I’ll just give
you a quick rundown of each one here before I close the video out.
So, the first one is PureForm.
This is our pre-workout.
This is a very simple, straightforward formula that give you four solid ingredients backed
by research in their proper dosage.
So you're getting 6 grams of L-Citruline Malate, 3 grams of L-Tyrosine, 200 milligrams of Caffeine
and 200 milligrams of L-Theanine pre scoop.
So this is just a good, well-rounded combination to optimize your workout quality in terms
of strength, energy and focus without going unnecessarily overboard.
You don’t need 8 to 10 or 12 different ingredients in a pre-workout, that’s just total overkill.
And it’s even potentially unsafe if you're doing it over the long term and using it often.
And you also don’t need to spend forty to fifty bucks a month on your pre-workout either.
So PureForm is much more affordable.
It’s designed to just give you the key ingredients that worked with no proprietary blends, no
fillers, no heavy stimulants.
And as an added bonus it’s also a hundred percent naturally sweetened and naturally
flavored as well.
Not that a moderate amounts artificial sweeteners are necessarily harmful, but more and more
people are wanting those natural alternatives nowadays and I had pulled my audience on facebook
and Instagram previously, and the majority voted for the natural version.
And so that's just the route that we’ve decided to go with this.
Second one here is MicroCore.
This is our multivitamin.
And the reason it has this name is because the goal here is to just give you the core
micronutrients that you actually need.
The ones that a high percentage of people, especially people who are training hard in
the gym tend to be a bit lower on or those micronutrients that have certain benefits
when you take them in a slightly higher amounts.
After doing a lot more research on this over the years I've come to the conclusion that
traditional full spectrum multivitamins are not gonna be the ideal choice in most cases
for the simple reason that you just don’t need to be supplementing with every single
vitamin and mineral out there.
Especially if you already following a decent diet.
It’s not only gonna be unnecessary but some micronutrients might even be harmful if you're
taking too much of them over the long term.
And then on top of that most full spectrum multies out there also tend to be using the
lower quality, less absorbable forms of a lot of the different ingredients, and they
underdose them as well to save on cost.
So with MicroCore we’re just focusing on the highest quality forms and the proper studied
dosage of the few select vitamins and minerals that are likely gonna benefit you.
And these are the same ones that I've talked about in a lot of my older videos; vitamin
D, magnesium, zinc, vitamin K, and there's also a basic B complex in there as well.
A lot of potential benefits associated with those in terms of just better overall performance,
better recovery, energy, mental functioning, sleep, testosterone levels.
It just keeps the whole engine running more smoothly and it’s gonna make sure that all
of your micronutrient needs are being fully met.
And then lastly is 03 Prime, which is our fish oil product.
And this one here is in the re-esterified triglyceride form, which is gonna be better
absorbed and the regular ethel ester or natural triglyceride forms that most people used.
This product has a very high concentration of EPA and DHA per gram, which are the specific
fatty acids in fish oil that provide the benefits.
Benefits like improving cardiovascular health, reducing inflammation, improving cognitive
function, and it can even have some modest direct effects in terms of optimizing muscle
growth and fatloss over the long term.
So unless you're eating fatty fish regularly throughout the week beneficial oil supplement
will make sure that your EPA and your DHA levels are falling into the ideal daily range.
Most people levels don’t fall into the ideal range and the average person in the West only
gets about ten to twenty percent of the recommended amount per day.
So those are the three products.
They're all produced in a CGMP certified facility, it’s a bit more expensive to go that route
but it basically guarantees that you're getting the purest raw ingredients and the highest
quality processing available, which is obviously really important and it’s not something
that I would wanna compromise on just for the sake of higher margins.
So I leave it there, guys.
Thanks for watching.
If you do wanna give any of these a try, support Real Science Athletics, that’s great.
If not that’s totally cool, too.
The message here is gonna be the same no matter what moving forward, nothing on the channel
is gonna change in terms of content.
Supplements are not must in order to get great results, they're just optional add-on that
you can use if you do have the extra money and if you wanna get that little extra edge
both in and out of the gym.
But if you do, this is something that I've worked extremely hard on over the past year
and a half.
I’m very proud of the end result and I can honestly say that I would recommend these
products even if they weren’t my own.
So www.RealScienceAthletics.com if you do wanna check it out and I will talk you guys
again soon with more regular informative content.
Thanks for watching.
