Course Description :
This certificate course is a very comprehensive supplement course that covers over 30 different types of supplements and teaches you if and when to include them based on your diet. [Including over 100 scientific references/studies quotes to support my claims]
In today's modern world, two problems exist that makes taking dietary supplements almost necessary:
1) The food that we eat is losing its nutritive value. the way it's grown, the way its transported and the way we store it and cook it.
Unless you are buying your produce from a local farmers market and taking every precaution to store it effectively and consume it by cooking on medium heat and obviously not overcooking it, there is almost a loss of close to 50-70% loss of nutrients in your food.
This is true only in case of people who actually consume healthy foods. But this is far from the reality.
60% of calories come from processed foods for Americans. The reality is no different than in the rest of the world.
Factory foods are highly processed and offer very little or no nutritive value. It's very simple. The companies that manufacture these processed and fast foods reliance is on taste and convenience and obviously on how much profits they'll earn by the end of the day.
Another huge factor why people have supplements is the convenience factor.
Supplements will also vary based on your goal.
In Module 2, I'll start with the most common supplement known: Protein Powders and will discuss 7 different types of protein powders and will suggests which ones are the best and which ones to avoid.
In Module 3, I will let you in the confusing world of vitamins and minerals supplements and will make it quite clear which companies manufacture the best vitamins and minerals supplements and which ones to buy.
In Module 4, we shall discuss the best supplements for fat loss.
In Module 5, I will provide you a list of all muscle building supplements and will recommend the best ones
In Module 6, I will discuss one of the most researched supplement 'Creatine' and will discuss its types and very important questions on when and how to take it, if required based on your goals.
Module 7, is all about optimizing your health. Not only I discuss more than 10 different health supplements, but at the end of this module, I have categorized them into following health goals:
-Immune support
-Digestive health
-Heart health
-Liver health
-Bone and Joint health
and of course, how can I miss this one:
Top supplement companies from where you should buy your supplements from.
I personally haven't used all the supplements that I have listed in this course, but based on my research I have provided top companies that you can place your trust in.
In various lectures, I have mentioned that there are third-party organizations like consumer lab that independently test the supplements for their potency and safety and I have provided a list of organizations that do that very job.
Supplements industry is a huge multi-billion dollar industry.
Finding good supplements is like searching for a needle in a haystack and with this course, I'll make it simple for you.

As someone who majored in Biochemistry in college and is now certified as a nutritionist, I found this course on supplements particularly invaluable in eliminating the need to revisit my textbooks. Akash not only provides evidence from scientific literature but also shares his experience with the supplements discussed. His videos are short, concise, and free of unnecessary fluff, and the written scripts for each module are an invaluable resource for future reference. The way he has organized and divided the content has made it exceptionally clear and memorable for me. I rate this course an outstanding 10 out of 10. Thank you, Akash, from Puerto Rico.

it was an excellent course, clearly explained. Also this course's strenght is the scientific references which allowed me as a dietician to be very confortable recieving all these informations. it was really helpful, thank you so much :D !'

Hello, It was an amazing course, I enjoyed it and learnt a lot from it. Plus this course targets all supplements and talks about each of it in details, which was very benificial. Plus when I requested my certificate, it took few hours before I got it. Thank you Akash, keep doing this good work!
By Fionn Ross on 6/1/2021
I am required by my professional fitness body to have at least 20 CEUs (CPD hours) in order to maintain my credentials. This course has allowed me to complete that. Secondly, I have been able to achieve something that I failed to complete twice before, becoming a nutrition/dietary supplements advisor. My confidence knows no bounds. Not to mention that I have learnt a ton of stuff that is current and backed by science. Awesome course!
By Emma Warr on 1/8/2021
I am learning tons of new information about all types of supplements. As someone who falls victim to a lot of marketing schemes from big companies, this course is providing me with the information I need to make healthy and monetarily smart choices.

Eye opening courde. Instruct wont insist or focus on brands rather help u to explore natural ways to get nutrition. Instructions were clear and gives u journal reference too to validate content. Really helpful for those who are already in dietetics field. Thank you udemy for connecting us with aakash sherawat ✌️

This course started off a little slow, but after completing it I have learned so much about supplements (there were quite a few honestly that I didn't even know about before hand), including types of supplements, how to identify good sources, recommended dosage ranges, and more; I will definitely apply this knowledge to my daily life and for my training routines. Thanks so much Akash -Mark

I am learning so many things with this course ...got to know type of protein powders and how it works ,which product should i use , which company multivitamins we should use , how to figure it out the good ingredients , what to use for weight loss .
By Marc Fratschoel on 5/9/2019
Course does not go deep into the various supplements and minerals and how they can have positive interaction (synergy) or negative interaction when taking at the same time. A lot of important facts were left out. In order to be a supplements advisor, I think the course is way too short and should cover more about each individual vitamin as well as the main minerals and trace minerals. This course only briefly touches on some vitamins and minerals. In my opinion, this course focuses a bit too much on body building and not enough on overall supplementation for the average person. I don't think the course material is sufficient in order to get a diploma certificate in "Dietary Supplements Advisor". It's a shame, because I got the impression that the lecturer is very knowledgable. Last but not least, lecturer should work on proper pronunciation of certain ingredients & pharmaceutical terms (I'm not referring about the accent, I'm referring about pronunciation).
By Geraint Williams on 4/24/2019
Very good guide to supplements, particularly liked the authors advice on trusting your own instinct and not adhering to a strict and unnecessary supplement intake. Authors pronunciation of several words is off at times and some information is outdated and biased towards the authors anecdotal evidence rather than scientific evidence. Information regarding GM Soy and Artificial sweeteners are not based on modern scientific studies, which conflict with the authors personal opinions on safety and health benefits. Some of the answers in the exam are data specific, and also based on the authors personal opinions rather than scientific data. Overall a good course.
