        Unauthorized Gains
Founding Motivation
Unauthorized Gains was founded out of real military experience. While serving, our founder witnessed countless service members consuming supplements they believed were safe and effective—simply because they came from big, recognizable brands. In reality, many of these products contained banned or ineffective ingredients, putting careers, health, and missions at risk.
The lack of proper guidance on what supplements were actually safe and beneficial led to frustration and mistrust. Our founder knew firsthand how easy it was to make mistakes—mistakes that could end a career—not because of bad intentions, but because no one was providing the right education and clarity.
          
            
          
        Unauthorized Gains was created to solve this problem. We believe no service member, athlete, or hard-working individual should suffer consequences from misinformation or marketing hype. Our mission is to combine education in sports medicine and lifting science with safe, effective, DoD-compliant supplements that directly address the unique challenges faced by military personnel:.
            
            
          Lack of nutrition access (chow halls, deployments, restricted food availability).
            
            
          Financial limitations (needing affordable, reliable options).
            
            
          No consistent access to kitchens/cooking (relying on shelf-stable and convenient supplementation).
            
            
          Performance demands in extreme environments (long hours, high stress, and physical strain).
