Do I know the brand names of the generic variants of that molecule?

Supplement?
Am I aware of the drug/Food/other supplementing Synergistic or Antagonistic effects?
Do I know the dosages?
Can I be talented enough to change the dosages based on my nutrition strategy and not that of
the supplement manufacturer’s opinion?
Is the price of the supplement right or can I pass my judgment on a more economic variation or
do I stick to a BRAND that is known for performance?
DO I stock and sell the supplements? Will it dilute or enhance my image as a SPORTS
NUTRITIONIST?
Do I know about the banned substances or Steroids? How do I firmly avoid any thoughts and
convince athletes that it’s better to work on Nutrition and supplement for enhancement of
performance?
Can I recommend this product to Kids? How do I decide?
Can I recommend this product to pregnant women?

Any product that I receive can I be a vessel of NO opinion till I study the composition and pass
logical judgement on the same?
