Supplements Reviews

Whey, creatine, multivitamins and Ayurvedic supplements in India — ranked on elemental dose, third-party testing and honest cost per serving.

Supplements sold in India, ranked on what is verifiable: elemental dose, standardisation, third-party lab and certification records, and honest cost per serving. We analyse reviews and published testing — we do not run a lab, and we never present a supplement as medical advice.

Training and recovery

Whey protein and creatine are the two with the strongest evidence behind them, and creatine is the cheapest useful supplement on this page. Mass gainers are mostly carbohydrate, so read the sugar line before the protein one. Pre-workouts vary enormously in transparency, and BCAAs are largely redundant if your total protein intake is already high. Around hard sessions, electrolytes matter more in Indian heat than most brands admit.

Everyday vitamins and minerals

A multivitamin is the usual starting point, but single nutrients are often the better buy when you know what you are short of. Iron and calcium are the two most commonly deficient in India, and calcium works far better alongside vitamin K2 and D3. Magnesium form matters more than dose, B-complex is worth buying in active forms, and omega-3 fish oil should be judged on EPA and DHA content rather than capsule size.

Ayurvedic and herbal

India's herbal shelf is the hardest to shop honestly, because standardisation and heavy-metal testing vary wildly. Ashwagandha and shilajit are the two where third-party testing matters most. Brahmi and ginkgo biloba are both sold for memory and focus, and are frequently confused with other herbs on the label. Triphala and curcumin round out the digestive and anti-inflammatory end.

Targeted support

Some categories are bought for one specific reason. Melatonin for sleep, where sensible dosing beats high dosing. Probiotics for gut health, judged on CFU viability at expiry rather than at manufacture. Collagen for joints and tendons, glutathione for skin, and saw palmetto for prostate and DHT-related hair concerns.

Best Biotin Supplements in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked

That '10,000 mcg' on the front of the pack is usually the weight of Sesbania plant extract, not of biotin - what you swallow is closer to 30 mcg. We scored 26 biotin supplements on dose honesty, manufacturing provenance, side-effect reports and cost per day.

Best L-Carnitine Supplements in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked

A '2000mg' L-carnitine label is tartrate salt weight - you are really getting about 1,360 mg. We scored 9 L-carnitine supplements on form, true base dose, label honesty, tolerability and cost per 2,000 mg, and found a four-fold price gap for the identical molecule.

Best Vitamin B12 Supplements in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked

Most 'plant-based' B12 sold in India is pseudovitamin B12 from spirulina or moringa - inactive in humans. We scored 11 supplements on B12 form, the actual mcg dose, purity evidence and cost per day, and named the ones whose label, dose and buyers' blood tests agree.

Best Vitamin C Supplements in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked

Best Whey Protein Isolate in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked

Best Zinc Supplements in India (2026): Top Picks Reviewed & Ranked
