10 Things You Need to Know BEFORE Buying Supplements

Before Coach Jamo ever trusts a supplement, he runs it through a mental checklist most people never even think about. He’s seen too many brands hide behind flashy labels while skipping the basics—no third-party testing, no identity verification, no proof of what’s actually inside the capsule. In this episode, Coach Jamo breaks down why certificates like HPLC, heavy metal testing, and microbiology reports aren’t “extras,” they’re the bare minimum. He also gets into how easy it is for companies to underdose, mislabel, or quietly switch suppliers once they’ve got your trust—and why that can directly affect both your health and your wallet.Coach Jamo also takes you behind the curtain of the supplement industry itself—how it’s manufactured, who’s really behind these brands, and why transparency matters more than marketing ever will. From NSF and cGMP certifications to whether founders actually use their own products, he explains the real signals that separate a healing-focused company from a profit-driven one. He even walks through how to spot fake testimonials, hidden fillers, and low-quality ingredients that look “healthy” on paper but don’t perform in real life. By the end, you’ll know exactly what to look for before you ever buy another supplement again.
