Why ATP Lab?

Nordine: I trust ATP because they're using the best ingredients to make their supplements. I've been tested by anti-doping so many times and very randomly and I've always been cleared, so I trust ATP for their seriousness, the best quality, best service, and the fact that they are safe.
Question 19

In a few words, what advice would you give to fans who seek a healthy lifestyle?

Nordine: I would say do not look at the price. If it's cheap, there's definitely a reason behind it. Always ask yourself "how much I'm worth?" Only the best stuff should go into your body, like the products of a reliable company such as ATP. They really care about the quality of their supplements.
