Tru Wild is my new favorite supp company.
Supps are hard—so many questions, so much bro science. Preworkout is not my jam but I LOVE sipping BCAAs throughout a workout … until I found out that most are made of some really really gross things. I could have lived my life without knowing that, but now that I do, I can’t go back (and I will let you google at your own risk, I’m not taking responsibility for y’all’s lives like that). So what is a girl supposed to do? (The vegan BCAAs seem like an option, but they’re mostly soy-based, which is better fermented but generally speaking I try to avoid soy)
The girl is to remember that she has a friend who started a supp company and order all his stuff immediately.
HOLY TURMERIC GRAIL
This shit is legit. The best. Turmeric has kabillions of health benefits and this is the ONLY way I’ve found that I like to take and drink it. Cool taste, a bit kombucha-y with a strong hit of ginger and pepper (absorption, yo), but amazing benefits. Swear it helped my recently injured back heal much faster (of course there’s no control group in that study).
It’s not a BCAA or preworkout, but it is awesome. The pre-workout or energy drink is badass too, with some real-deal ingredients. Seriously, if you’re at all interested in ingredient sourcing, their ingredients page The Natural Science page reads like an athlete’s erotic novel. Just a sample:
This scientifically developed & clinically tested blend is what elevates TRUWILD from the competition. The science doesn’t lie, 1000mg of Peak O2 will increase your VO2 Max & power levels. TRUWILD knows that VO2 Max is the answer to helping athletes surpass their limits. What is Peak O2? It is an organic-certified combination of six Ayurvedic Mushroom strains grown right here in the U.S. These powerful adaptogens allow you to do just that “adapt” and overcome physical & mental stress which is exerted through intense workouts.
In short, these are my new go-to supps. There are only two products right now, and they aren’t cheap, but the scoops are little (so they last) and they WORK.
