Consistency is key in every aspect of your training, including supplementation. But let's face it, remembering to take your supplements daily isn't always easy—even we forget sometimes

If you aren’t taking your supplements every day, then you’re not realizing their full effects, and you could be missing out on even greater benefits to your performance and recovery. 

That’s why we’re sharing five easy things you can do to remember to take your supplements at the right time, every single day.

 

1. Set Reminders on Your Phone

You probably have your phone on or near you for most of the day, so why not use it to your advantage? Set up recurring reminders to take your supplements at the same time every day.

This tip is especially useful for supplements that recommend two daily servings, like HMB+ Creatine, HMB Sport and Beta Alanine.

Over time, taking your supplements will become second nature, and you might not need the reminders anymore!

 

2. Leave Them Where You'll See Them

The old saying “out of sight, out of mind” exists for a reason, so don’t hide your supplements in a place where you won’t see them. That will make it much more likely you’ll forget about them.

Show them off! Be proud of your athletic ambition.

Keep your supplements in a place you’ll see them every day, like on your kitchen counter, in a cupboard you frequently open, or on your desk at work. A visual cue will go a long way in reminding you to take them.

 

3. Link Them to Another Daily Habit

It’ll become much easier to remember your supplements when you associate them with something else you do every day.

One of the easiest habits to link your supplements to is drinking coffee or tea. If you keep them next to your coffee or tea station, you can take them while you wait for your morning brew. 

But there are tons of habits you can associate your supplements with, like brushing your teeth, having a snack or meal, or walking your dog. It’s all about what works best with your daily routine.

 

4. Keep Extras on Hand

If you often catch yourself without your supplements when you need them, you’ll benefit from having multiple bottles or bags in the different places you frequent.

Keep some at home, at work, and in your backpack or training bag for when you’re on the go.

This method of remembering to take your supplements can be more expensive, but if having multiples on hand is what it takes for you, you can save money and be more consistent when you subscribe to recurring Blonyx orders for a 15% discount. 

5. The Buddy System 

If you have a training buddy, whether it’s a friend or family member, remind them to take their supplements and have them do the same for you.

You might feel like you’re bugging them, but we’re sure they’ll forgive you—and maybe even thank you! By encouraging them to remain consistent, you’ll hold each other accountable, and you'll be more likely to stick to your routine. A quick text is all it takes!

 

Remember, building a habit takes time, so be patient with yourself. But with these simple strategies, you'll be well on your way to making supplementing your training a seamless part of your daily routine.

By setting reminders, keeping your supplements visible, linking them to other habits, having extras on hand, and using the buddy system, you’ll be much less likely to miss a dose, and you’ll maximize the benefits of your supplements.
