The Dietary Supplement Review
So why would you ever pay the Natural Health Writer to write a supplement review for your product?
There are many uses for such reviews, but the most popular by far:
The nutritional supplement review is an effective tool for affiliate marketing.
As a Dietary Supplement Reviewer, I would write the “master reviews” of my client’s products that would spawn many other reviews throughout the client’s affiliate network.
In addition, I would write in-depth reviews of competitor products within the same category — covering their strengths and weaknesses in a fair, objective way that built credibility and positioned my client as the best of the best.
When my master review (and other in-category reviews) was completed and published, it would then serve as a wellspring of talking points for the affiliates and influencers throughout our entire network.
Indeed, the nutritional supplement review is the perfect vehicle to discuss:
- Unique selling propositions
- Key supplement formula differentiators
- Supplement ingredient choices and synergies
- Dosage levels and how they compare
- Quality points, such as branded ingredients
- Cleanliness, such as vegan and eco-friendly forms
- Directions for use
- Potential benefits to the consumer
- Shipping details, discounts, deals
- Stacking tips
Just imagine it. Every review, every piece of publicity, ever influencer mention of your product presenting consistent, coherent selling points. Your brand presence strong and true across the web, in 4K crystal-clarity.
As a dietary supplement reviewer, I make it SO easy for influencers and affiliates to publicize key selling points to maximum effect.
Let’s now move on to talking about some of the different forms a dietary supplement review can take.
Nutritional Supplement Product Review
This is the classic review. It analyzes a single product. Usually, it will be reviewing a stack formula with enough ingredients to really dig into.
Comparative “Versus” Reviews
Another popular review category, in these I do a side-by-side analysis of two competing products within the same category. I compare ingredients, dosages, formulation strategy, price-per-serving, etc. before naming a winner.
Best Supplement for [health concern] Review
In these reviews, I will take a health concern — such as joint aches, brain fog, constipation, etc. — and present the best products for helping with that specific concern. My sample review below is in this category, a specific “for” niche: Best brain supplements for men over age 30.
Ingredient Reviews
Some reviews will go in-depth into individual ingredients, evaluating their various uses, clinical studies, ethnobotanical origins, etc.
My Favorite Supplement Review Story
I believe it was a few days before New Year’s Eve, with Jan 1, 2017 fast approaching. I was running a nutritional supplement review site at the time.
Part of the trick was recognizing which supplements were poised to surge. Doing my research, I looked at the calendar and chose to focus on weight loss for my next review.
I delved into some industry publications and learned about a new branded ingredient called SLIMVANCE. That’s when things got spicy.
Leading up to Jan 1, I cranked out several different Slimvance-related dietary supplement reviews. They included:
- Slimvance Thermogenic Review
- Slimvance Stim-Free Review
- Slimvance Thermogenic vs. Slimvance Stim-Free Review
- Slimvance Thermogenic vs. [competitors] Review
- Slimvance Stim-Free vs. [competitors] Review
You get the drift. By Jan 1, all the dietary supplement reviews were indexed by the Google. The site was getting about 500 visitors per day in December… but when Jan 1 hit, that spiked to 5,000 visitors per day. 10X, all thanks to the Slimvance reviews.
That traffic was no flash in the pan.
It gave a sustained boost. This demonstrates how consumers CRAVE education when it comes to buying dietary supplements, especially the hot and trendy ones.

Conclusion
I am a nutritional supplement copywriter. Under this umbrella I include all types of content related to selling supplements responsibly. I have written about everything.
But my work as a dietary supplement reviewer has been some of the most important of my career.
What?? It’s true.
Here’s the thing. I have written hundreds of dietary supplement reviews. But not just any reviews. I go DEEP when I am writing my reviews. Deep into research, benefits, competitors, etc.
Writing these types of reviews has allowed me to get a bird’s-eye view of all major categories in the industry today.
Not just looking at one product within a category, but scoping out all of the category’s leading products. Comparing and contrasting them.
Learning about today’s greatest brands, and how each one approaches supplement formulation. Learning about who is using what. And always getting fresh insight on groundbreaking new ingredients and hot trends that define the entire industry.

Top 3 Brain Supplements for Men Age 30+
Remember your wild and crazy 20s?
Your idea of “brainpower” was different in those days. You took brain supplements—nootropics—to crush it at the gym, pick up chicks, mentally dominate your buddies at Beer Pong and Madden… and occasionally, to ace your exams.
Back then, you could take stacks upon stacks of intense stimulant brain supplements and bounce back quickly and easily, because hey… 20s.
But turning 30 changes EVERYTHING.
Now you want to take brain supplements for good and not evil.
But seriously, after 30 you need to activate and boost different aspects of brainpower to meet your new grown-up priorities, including:
- Professional focus. You want to make a lot more money in your 30s.
- Expanding horizons. You want to diversify knowledge & skills more.
- Girlfriend/wife/kids. Now you’re the Man. You need that brain.
Besides these new brain demands, your mental performance actually starts declining in your late 20s. If you’re 30+, you may have already noticed that your motivation, focus, memory, and mental energy might be slipping.
With all this going on, it’s clear: If you want to max out your brainpower, when you turn 30 you must upgrade your brain supplement to a formula that:
- Addresses your new & changing cognitive needs and demands
- Feeds your brain to stop age-related mental performance slide
- Avoids the harsh stimulants that make you a raving man-beast
We researched and uncovered the 3 best brain supplements for men 30+ that meet these criteria. Any one is a good pick, but in order of greatness, they are:
#1: Mind Lab PRO™
“Universal Nootropic” formula that’s like a Swiss Army Knife for your BRAIN
Are you the Alpha type who wants an across-the-board brainpower surge to excel in everything you do… in your 30s and beyond? Mind Lab Pro is the best brain supplement for you.
It’s new, but Mind Lab Pro (or MLP) is already generating a lot of buzz and rave reviews. MLP is different because each of its 11 brain nutrients is research-backed, and each one hits (or comes damn near close) to the “clinical range” sweet spot.
This dynamic formulation is why MLP enhances more brain pathways than any other formula, helping with: Neurotransmitters, brain energy, neural regeneration, brain bloodflow, brain waves, and brain protection.
The end result: MLP “flexes” to improve all aspects of mental performance—attention, focus, processing speed, brain energy, memory, mood, you name it. Whatever you need, whenever you need it, MLP brings it… which is why it’s our #1 brain supplement for men over 30.
Mind Lab Pro is especially good for….
Supreme Mental Performance: MLP’s Cognizin® Citicoline + Vinpocetine supercharge brain energy and crystallize focus. The Huperzine-A, Acetyl-L-Tyrosine & Bacopa boost brain chemicals that accelerate thinking, too.
A Confident “Winner” Mindset: Rhodiola rosea crushes stress, L-Theanine relaxes, and B6 (as superior P-5-P) boosts mood—keeping you calm, cool and positive-minded while sharpening your alertness.
Brain Regeneration: Sharp-PS® phosphatidylserine (soy-free), Lion’s Mane mushroom and Pterostilbene help brain cells to multiply and thrive, helping short-term memory and long-term brain health.
Mind Lab Pro does a lot more, too… that’s the whole “Swiss Army Knife” point. As a mental performance-booster, it’s ridiculously versatile.
Other Mind Lab Pro Pros
- Quality. Top-notch ingredients and premium Vcaps® capsules.
- Clean. The cleanest label we’ve seen—no fillers, just brain nutrients.
- Affordable. These 11 nootropics bought singly: $200. In MLP? $65.
Mind Lab Pro Cons
- Brand new. Fantastic formula, but no real track record yet.
Summary: MLP’s formula seems customized for driven, ambitious men over age 30. They don’t want to be good at one thing, they want to mentally dominate everything. These Alphas are in demand and spread thin. MLP helps by promoting a performance-tuned mind that fires on all cylinders.
#2: CILTEP®
Balls-out brain chemical booster for motivation, knowledge & strategic thinking
Do you need a little help getting motivated for physical activity after turning 30? Do you see knowledge as a chance to gain a strategic advantage and win more? CILTEP might be the right brain supplement for you.
CILTEP’s formula strategy promotes “Long-Term Potentiation (LTP)”. There’s not that much research behind LTP, but the idea is it’s a kind of ramped-up, accelerated and sustained brain cell-signaling activity that may help high-intensity thinking, learning and drive.
CILTEP comes in 2nd because it simply doesn’t have the broad array of brain-boosting bio-activities that Mind Lab Pro has (then again, no other brain supplement does, either). Instead, CILTEP has a narrow focus, working exceptionally well in one cognitive pathway: Brain chemicals.
CILTEP is especially good for….
Memory & Learning. Its Artichoke Extract (5% caffeoylquinic acids) and Coleus forskohlii (20% forskolin) boost, optimize & sustain Acetylcholine (ACh) brain chemical for memory, focus, and absorbing new knowledge.
Motivation. The L-Phenylalanine boosts Dopamine (DA), the motivation/movement brain chemical that drives athletes and adrenaline junkies; P-5-P then helps the body use that Dopamine more efficiently.
Aging brain support. CILTEP’s Acetyl-L-Carnitine (ALCAR) is not a nootropic, but it’s good for long-term brain health. ALCAR helps Acetylcholine too, bringing more ammo to your fight against age-related mental decline.
Other CILTEP Pros
- Quality. Standardized artichoke+coleus ensure nootropic potency.
- Duration. A big benefit: CILTEP is supposed to work for 8-14 hours.
- Unique. No other nootropic boosts brain chemicals like CILTEP does.
Cons
- Narrow focus. It’s great for brain chemicals, but not much else.
- Early research: The main ingredients, Coleus and Artichoke, are promising but lack strong human clinical trials for brain health.
Summary: CILTEP Brand Ambassadors (“CILTEP Champions”) include athletes, trainers and gamers. This reflects CILTEP’s main purpose: It helps men over age 30 to reclaim motivation & sharpen strategy… making it just right for those who have a competitive fire that will never die.
#3: truBrain
World’s First “Think Drinks” for spiking work productivity while avoiding burnout
Career driven? Do you push your brain way beyond reasonable limits in your relentless quest to TCB? In your 30s, all that intensity catches up with you. Brain fog, mental fatigue and burnout set in… and you fall behind. truBrain could be the right brain supplement for you.
truBrain is a two-formula stack that helps you “Get your work done faster, and get out of the office sooner.” This is exactly what a lot of men over age 30 are looking for. truBrain Original is taken daily; the Boost formula is taken once in a while, whenever you need extra mental energy.
truBrain products are designed as safe, effective alternatives to stimulants, energy drinks and ADD drugs—all of which are over-used in office settings, and exact a bigger toll as men grow older. For its laser-targeted productivity benefits and noble mission, truBrain is our #3 for men over 30.
TruBrain is especially good for…
Multitasking & TCB: truBrain’s Oxiracetam (a racetam-class nootropic) and Citicoline work together to stimulate the brain and sharpen attention without making you a jittery mess.
“Direct Focus.” A brain benefit unique to truBrain, this mindset is promoted as being far better than stimulant-driven “alertness” for cranking on productivity and getting the most out of your workday.
Charging Up. The Boost truBrain formula gives a nice mental energy bump with Uridine and Centrophenoxine for brain chemicals and Caffeine+L-Theanine for clear-headed brain energy with less jitters.
Other truBrain Pros
- Drinks. Easy and made tasty with agave, nopal, mangosteen & pear.
- Credible. truBrain is developed and tested by neuroscientists.
Cons
- Expensive! The “regular” package is $85/month.
- Stimulants. Caffeine+Oxiracetam combo is not for everybody.
- Scammy? truBRAIN offers a great introductory deal, but you have to sign up for a suspicious Autoship program to get it… so be careful.
Summary: Workaholism can take all the fun out of your 30s. truBrain boosts productivity and sharpens professional performance safely, without risks, burnout or side effects. Take it to find a healthy work-life balance, get more done in less time, and set yourself up for a bright professional future.
The Big Finish
When you turn 30—despite your best efforts—you will notice that your body is starting to age… and that your brain might be slowing down a bit, too. This sucks.
But there’s good news: By taking the right age-targeted brain supplements, your brain can grow stronger as you grow into your 30s.
Ultimately, your brain can become the new nexus of your manly power—boosting mental and physical performance, helping you feel more youthful, and driving you to achieve more in life throughout your 30s and beyond.
The three formulas discussed in this article—Mind Lab Pro, CILTEP, and truBrain—are all awesome, high-quality brain supplements that perfectly match the unique brain needs of men over age 30.
Any one of them is a great pick for boosting your brain to become a better man as you age.
