Jose’s Top Picks: What the Boss Is Using Right Now
When it comes to supplements, Jose doesn’t mess around.
As one of the co-founders of Nutrition Capital — and the man behind the counter at our Essendon store — Jose lives and breathes this stuff. He’s tried more supplements than most people have had hot dinners, and when he finds something he loves? You’ll hear about it.
Here’s what’s currently in his stack — complete with his no-nonsense reviews
Cyborg Sport HBCD - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – For intense workouts
“This is my go-to when I’m sticking to a strict training block. Noticeable reduction in physical fatigue during sessions — helps me push harder for longer!”
Why Jose loves it: Fast-digesting carbs that fuel your workouts without weighing you down. HBCD is elite for intra-workout endurance and recovery.
Ghost Hydration - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – Top Tier
“High dose of potassium per serve and awesome refreshing flavours. This is a household favourite!”
Why it made the list: A delicious hydration hit — great for training days or just staying on point throughout the day.
Scivation Xtend Original BCAA Mango - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – Mango Madness
“The mango flavour is the same as when it first came out — a classic. Great for increasing my water intake!”
Old-school meets new gains: A classic flavour that still holds up. Great during workouts or just to stay hydrated.
Max’s Super-Shred Bar Caramel - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – Best Caramel
“Good crunch on the choc layer and the pebbles inside. Not chewy. Great caramel flavour inside. Solid bar.”
Jose-approved snack: Hits the spot when you want high protein without sacrificing flavour or texture.
Switch Nutrition Acetyl L-Carnitine - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – Quality noticeable
“This Carnitine doesn’t have that fishy odour or taste. Doesn’t clump. You can tell it’s a quality source.”
Why it matters: A clean carnitine option to support energy metabolism, focus, and performance — minus the nasties.
Legendary Foods Protein Sweet Roll - Shop
⭐ 5 stars – HOOKED
“No wonder these are out of stock. They’re addictive. Amazing even if you don’t heat them up!”
Pro tip: Grab two. You’ll regret only buying one. Perfect for curbing cravings with a high-protein twist.
