Boost your knowledge. Make smarter choices. Empower your clients.

In the fitness industry, we frequently discuss the significance of proper nutrition and supplement use, but what do these concepts truly entail in practice? This course is designed to enhance your understanding and help you make informed, confident decisions, both for yourself and your future clients.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The true role of vitamins and minerals in maintaining optimal health
  • Understanding Reference Nutrient Intakes (RNIs) and how they relate to individual needs
  • Factors affecting nutrient absorption and effectiveness
  • The truth behind "superfoods" — fact or hype?
  • Why hydration is critical to health and performance
  • Which supplements are effective, and which are not
  • The risks of overuse or misuse of popular supplements
  • How to spot marketing traps in the supplement industry

Why This Course Matters:

Most people who take supplements lack accurate knowledge about what they're using. Misunderstandings around dosage, side effects, or combining supplements with the wrong foods can lead to poor results—or worse, health risks.

The modern fitness market is filled with products designed for professionals but marketed to amateurs. Without proper education, it's easy to get lost in the noise.

We believe supplements are not the enemy—when used wisely, they can fill nutritional gaps, support recovery, and enhance performance. But knowledge is power, and in this fast-growing industry, understanding what you’re recommending is essential.

What's Included:

By enrolling in PFS FITNESS SUPPLEMENTATION®, you’ll also gain access to our PFS NUTRITION INTRODUCTION® module. This self-paced online course gives you a solid foundation in nutritional science, setting you up for success before you dive into the world of supplements.
