Supplements for Students — FAQ

What is a good budget supplement stack for a student?
Keep it simple: a zero-sugar energy drink (from $3.48/can) for study focus, and an EAA or BCAA powder (around $45 for 30 servings) for recovery on training days. That covers energy and muscle recovery for well under $100 a month. Add a basic protein and creatine later if your budget allows.
How much caffeine is in these energy drinks?
Most cans here deliver about 200 mg of caffeine — roughly two cups of coffee — with zero sugar. Stick to one per study session, avoid stacking multiple caffeine sources, and don't drink them too close to bedtime.
How fast can I get these delivered in Canada?
All orders placed before 4 PM EST ship same-day from our Montreal warehouse. Most Canadian customers receive their order within 2-5 business days via Canada Post, UPS, GLS, Purolator or Canpar. Free shipping on qualifying orders.
Do you ship to the USA?
Yes. We ship to all 50 US states from Montreal. Most US customers receive their order within 5-10 business days. Cross-border shipping cost is calculated at checkout based on weight.

I personally taste-test every product before stocking it. Students at McGill, Concordia and UQAM are some of our most loyal customers — they want honest energy and recovery that fits a tight budget, not hype. Everything on this page earns its spot on value. If a product doesn't deliver, it doesn't make our shelves — even if the brand offers us better margins. Read my full story →
