On Saturday afternoon, March 15, 2025, I casually strolled into Supplement Superstore off Eager Road in Clayton ā looking for tools to foster both muscle growth and agility as I prepare for my first season of Club Baseball at Saint Louis University (SLU). While several family members had told me about their positive experiences at various locations, I had never been myself. Though the trip was somewhat spontaneous, I was genuinely shocked by the remarkable level of customer service and valuable knowledge the experience offered me.
Upon scanning the store for a few moments, I was warmly greeted by Aland Darwish ā a SLU alumnus himself ā who is as much a transparent salesman as he is a health and wellness expert. Since I had never been inside any of the stores, I instinctively shared with Aland my newfound ambition of playing spring ball for SLUās club team. I was immediately struck by his eagerness to listen and ability to carefully process my goals without making any hasty recommendations. Within five minutes of being in the store, Aland showed me why so many of my family members and friends had raved about this establishment; it was impressive.
Over the next 60 minutes, Aland guided me through all the steps I needed to take ā and all the available options at our disposal ā to achieve these goals. Despite his vast knowledge of virtually everything health-and fitness-related, one of Alandās greatest skills lies in his ability to break down complex topics into digestible portions. Whether it was my characteristic curiosity or perhaps my background as a student journalist, I found myself asking several questions on nearly every topic he walked me through. Yet, Aland never once seemed to mind; in fact, he welcomed every question and encouraged follow-ups. That alone is one of the best observations (and perhaps compliments) I could give a salesman in the traditional sense of the term.
Specifically, Aland walked me through different products, allowed me to taste-test what I already knew I would purchase, and conducted a Body Assessment Test near the end of our consultation. Moreover, he laid out a structured, comprehensive diet plan I will follow in the coming months, along with a personal analysis of my assessment results.
Ultimately, I ended up purchasing three products; Aland and I have a scheduled follow-up consultation later this month. Iām genuinely excited to share the ebbs and flows of this journey with him ā and receive further guidance in pursuing both my baseball and broader health goals.
Yesterday, I walked into Supplement Superstore expecting to be sold to ā but instead, Aland Darwish sold me on the St. Louis business itself. And what a wonderfully run business model it is. I walked in looking for merely nutritional guidance and walked out with inspiring confidence and encouragement from a...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'm relatively new to the St. Louis area and had rotator cuff surgery back in January. Having been a heavy weight lifter for 10+ years, I know what it takes to build muscle. However, I've never taken 7+ months off upper body lifting and have lost a noticeable amount of muscle-mass. At 43 years old, I know it's going to be an uphill battle to get my old body back. Over the years I've taken various supplements but hadn't been on them - aside from BCAA's and protein powder - for a few years. I wanted to be fully loaded up and ready to go when I'm able to start lifting again (hopefully in June). I was looking for a little extra kick in the supplement department to regain the lost muscle-mass quickly. Supplement Superstore was recommended to me by a friend. She told me that the prices are unbeatable and the staff is very knowledgeable. She couldn't have been more right! I went it with my story, thinking I knew about supplements and diet, but quickly realized, after talking with Sean, that I still have a lot to learn. Sean recommended very specific protein powders for my specific goals, along with various other products to help the proteins work better, along with better vitamins and greens. He then outlined a very specific diet/meal plan for me and gave me a free body scan to give me a baseline before I got started. I was blown away with how much attention I was given, along with encouragement and support! I couldn't have been happier with first experience here and look forward to going back to re-up on my supplements and continue to monitor my progress as I get back into it. Thank you, Sean, and to the entire Supplement...
