What a club rugby player should spend on supplements
Answer
One product is 22p a day and about 80 pounds a year. All four are 80p a day and about 292 pounds a year. Most club players should stop after two, at 39p a day.
Key takeaways
- What is a sensible spend?
- Around 7 pounds a month for one product, or 12 pounds for two. Anything approaching forty is not a club rugby proposition.
- What does the full range cost?
- 80p a day, or about 292 pounds a year for all four.
- How does it compare to playing?
- Subs, boots, kit and away travel dwarf it. Supplements are the smallest line on a club rugby budget.
The actual numbers
Futuro Labs Magnesium Glycinate is 22p a day, about 6.75 pounds a month and roughly 80 pounds a year. Adding Futuro Labs Omega 3 Fish Oil at 17p takes it to 39p a day, about 12 pounds a month and 142 pounds a year.
Futuro Labs Marine Collagen at 28p and Futuro Labs Lion's Mane at 13p take all four to 80p a day, which is about 24 pounds a month and 292 pounds a year. That last figure is real money and worth seeing before drifting into four products one at a time.
Where a ceiling sits
Against club subs, boots, kit and away travel, one or two products is the smallest line on a rugby budget. Four is a noticeable one.
The sensible position for most club players is two: magnesium for the fullest claim set and omega 3 for the oily fish gap, at 39p a day. A player spending 292 pounds a year on supplements while sleeping six hours a night has the priorities the wrong way round.
