You had to go there eh
It’s looking like the market for an ergogenic supp is pretty small so may not return
Then you would own the market.

Same reason PES discointuned eegonine it’s not a big seller. It doesn’t matter if Ol owned that market the company would take a loss on making it. The demand is not there and it doesn’t have a high enough ROI to produce it
Could producing pretty small batches occasionally, say once every three months, be profitable? You could only release an unflavoured version along with a single flavoured version as you did before to keep production simple
Exactly. I saw Ergonine at the 2 letter shoppe for $8.99/tub. That was 75% off and speaks to how low the demand is for such a product. I’m as sad as anyone to hear about Tr1umph possibly never coming back though
Economies of scale = larger profit.
Small runs probably wouldn’t be worth it. Their per unit cost from the manufacturer would be higher, thus less profitable
I know, I was just inquiring as to whether or not it'd be profitable.
I mean if the folks at OL take triumph themselves and they could at least break even by producing small batches occasionally, then by producing those small batches they can keep themselves and the demigod nation stocked up whilst turning a small profit or at least not losing money.
If the spare production capacity is there, then personally I'd consider doing it
What someone said about how PES is discontinuing ergonine gets me thinking.
So, us lot, we get triumph because in theory that's backed by assorted studies done with the ingredients, triumph should ultimately help us make faster gains.
Most gym goers, probably don't even know what an 'ergogenic' is (tbf why would they), nor would they bother spending 5-10 minutes reading the listing of something they've never heard of. So when they saw tr1umph, they didn't know what it was, they weren't sure how beneficial it'd be (if at all) and they probably weren't willing to spend 5-10 minutes finding out
Has anyone ever logged tr1umph?
Hypothetically. If some volunteers were to participate in a double blind study about tr1umph's effect on strength gains and measurements,
and the results showed that tr1umph makes a statistically significant difference,
then tr1umph could be rebranded with a fresh new label, touting that tr1umph increases lean muscle mass growth by g%, bicep circumference by b%, etc
A product like that would draw attention and intrigue that much better than the old tr1umph, which unfortunately most people never got to know
Just postulating
Absolutely love Amnesia!
Very underrated
It's worth mentioning that the vast majority of loggers will not really want to comply with what is really standard "study procedures" of not changing any other variables besides supplement use, and even in some instances a standardization of training and/or diet to further match the supplement group with the placebo group. You'd also want your subjects to all be around the same experience level, as the gains someone who has been lifting for a year or two and benches 200 pounds will not be the same as a veteran lifter who benches 350. There's a lot that goes into a double-blind study that people don't really think about...I know, I was just inquiring as to whether or not it'd be profitable.

You do realize the cost of a study, and then making a product that would lose money. Thousands of dollars. You are in the minority here.
If you were a business owner would you formulate a product to lose money? Let us use common sense here.
it is bad enough you make countless thread on how many supplements you can give to a 90 year old grandmother with joint issues when you even stated her diet is lackluster.
What supplements can you take for how bad your sleep is
Investing in a years worth of TTA for minimal results.... etc.
You have to know the law of diminishing returns it would be for a growing company like OL to take a loss on making a new product when they could reformulate another product (Re1gn, Assassinate, Ar1macare Pro, Super PCT etc) and make much more revenue, ROI, and profit off of it.
I don't know about you, but supplement companies dont make products to suit a SMALL crowd, they are out there to make money, make business, and mass market. The demographic and demand for ergogenics.. Not at all.
It may also be worth noting that some studies on pre-workouts can be sort of unnecessary anyway, at least the way they often test them. We KNOW that caffeine can increase power output. To test a pre-workout with a ton of caffeine against placebo and say it's effective just because it outperformed placebo doesn't really tell us much of anything besides what we already know, that caffeine works. These studies should really compare their product to an equivalent dose of caffeine as well if they're determined to measure power output, to see if it'll actually do anything more than caffeine alone. Just my $0.02.Hence why the only companies that tend to sponsor studies on full products are your MuscleTech’s, MusclePharm’s, USPLabs, etc. They can afford the upfront costs of a study.
Someone please correct me if I’m off, but I’d imagine sponsoring a study is in the $100,000’s. Paying for the physicians, study design, recruiting the subjects, the tests, etc.
A company that’s growing like OL probably isn’t trying to throw that amount of money at a study (especially on a product with low-demand) when they could allocate that type of money towards R&D/product development, marketing, sales, etc.
BloodShr3d Is 10/10 bruh flavor is amazing

You have a very bad tendency to oversupplement and your post history reflects it. You want a 90 year old grandmother to invest in joint products when she has a bad diet and is very overweight. That is not how you solve an issue. That is how you throw money down a drain, just like if OL Wanted to invest in a fully transparent ergogenic product. Every company that has produced one hasnt profited off of it. Which makes 0 sense for a company trying to market, make money, and succeed.

Tr1umph will return but we will need to pump a lot of money into user education and product awareness since its a new category that doesn't contain stims.. We're focusing on growing our D2C and then bringing it back. There is a whole new branding campaign under way which will bring OL to the next level. We have been working relentlessly on the backend to bring this fruition looking to launch by Black Friday. Everything will change besides the product labels.
I'm saying that I believe Tr1umph would benefit a lot from a rebranding, from being an ergogenic to being an innovative natural muscle building supplement with a fresh new look and proven results.
'Ergogenics' only appeal to a small crowd but 'natural muscle builders' appeal to the mass market.
If Tr1umph were to be rebranded as a new, more eye-catching product that consumers feel they understand (the 'natural muscle builder' tag they'd understand), then OL could well start profiting from it.
You miss the point
How many compnies have releaesd ergogenics and had to DC them?
Its a lost cause
The company will lose money, consumers are uneducated. Period
All people want is stuff that tastes good, is cheap, and they dont care about how innovative and how breakthrough the ingredient profile is. That is the minority on the market. You realize the market of supplement users is 95% of people who dont have a single clue what they are taking or what an ingredient profile is right? You are in the minority.
If you really think making products that don't sell well is a logical step you should consider taking economics and understanding return on investment (ROI). Because it is clear your mind is made up to go one way, but not to the mass market, or understanding the trend on what is popular and what is not.
Ive never met a person who thinks just because it may suit you means it suits the mass market. It doesn't matter how many studies you would make, or how hard you would try to educate a consumer. There is a reason why things that are underdosed sell beter then those that are fully transparent, fully open label, and clincally dosed. People pay for taste and convenience.
If someone sees BOGO 9/10 times they will buy the product compared to buying quality (something like an OL Product) over quantity (walmart, BPI garbage protein etc.)
sad but true.

Has anyone seen their bloodshed checked in to the post office yet? A label was created at 6pm Monday for mine and it’s still in “pre shipment” as of this morning. I ordered Assassinate at the same time and its scheduled to be delivered by tomorrow.
D2C?

Again you miss the point. You are trying to market OL into a GNC when in reality they are not, and compare those to buyers in stores.
Therefore mass consumers who shop in a GNC or a VS do not have a clue who OL is, or what the products natural purpose is. OL is marketed in smaller stores to help get brand recognition. When they get larger we hope to see them get into those big businesses because of their demand and growth of sales. They can get there and have the team to do so.
Go ask 10 people at your gym what an ergogenic is. I bet 9/10 of them start at you like a deer in headlights.
You are trying to pitch a product that has no functional use to most consumers who want a basic pre-workout amino beverage.
It doesn't matter how you market an ergogenic if you put it as a "natural muscle builder" you will need research and studies to back that label claim . Do companies have thousands and thousands of dollars to do so? Some studies could cost upward to $100,000 + (Think MT and their label claims on clear muscle)
Appealing to a small market is great, especially us who want high dosed and fully transparent products. The problem is we are a minority. If it sold well for a larger population and crowd every company would make these products and they would sell like hot cakes. The truth is, they do not. Again this is why companies continue to make them and why they have not had success.
You just do not see the big picture, and your trying to reinvent a wheel that hasn't made any profit. Show me a company that has had a transparent and open label ergogenic product that has been a massive money maker for them. You will be hard pressed to find one becasue they are low sellers compared to a pre, amino, protein etc....
Mine is due to be delivered today. You got two different tracking numbers?

Can you guys stop bickering with each other and can we just get back to all the awesome stuff OL has released, is releasing and will release!?!?
Like more importantly I am Supreme standard and when I can buy it direct from OL! Lol. As soon as it becomes available I’m doing a good sized order!

Did you workout as well?

How long did the energy last? Noticeable crash? It wasn’t over stimulating? Did you get any feel good effects? Any noticeable anxiety?
Sorry all the questions. Mine should be in today. I plan on starting with a half dose.
Got to try bloodshr3d this morning. Did 1.5 scoops to be safe. Good energy and really smooth. 4 hours later and no crash so far. Mood was really unchanged and i am not hungry, so appetite suppression is there. Sucker punch is a great flavor. Exactly what it says, sweet and sour candy. Going full dose tomorrow.

Ever use assasinate? Curious how it is...one of the few Olympus products I’ve yet to try.
