Is supplements coming to an end?

[mastah]

I live in Europe and bought most supplements around Europe with huge line of brands and supps , always in stock.
Today, most supplements is out of stock and not on a single shop but ALL of them (10-15 different sites)
Does it have to do something with Trumps tariffs?

I can't find any answer anywhere

That's strange and unfortunate
The supp industry is stronger than ever and VERY competitive! Maybe you'll see restocks in a week or 2 I hope. And I'm sure online you'll be able to find some kind of substitute for what you usually use. I do wonder if tariffs will impact any shipping times or costs as well...

The tariff situation last year caused a lot of issues with the supply chain, so that is likely part of it.
Now that things have normalized a bit, brands are doing their best to get caught up, but its a process.

Another factor I see with some European websites though is that they just don't order enough to keep things in stock &/or order infrequently.

I'll use Body Shock as an example - they will order and then sell out in a couple days/weeks and then it may be 6 or 8 months before they order again and won't reply to emails, etc. It's odd because you'd think that they would want to keep the things in stock that sell well. But sometimes sites want to list a product to get you to go to it and they hope that you'll wind up buying one of their house brands.

Interesting. I hadn't spoken with them in a long time.

They had a history of selling so many things that weren't legal that I think that everyone kind of wondered how they had been able to do it for so long.

I am sorry for them closing though. I never want to see anything bad or negative happen to anyone.

I'm 100% sure body shock had lot's of fake supplements , I got a tasteless pump pwo which had many sour ingredients in it, didn't dare to drink it. After a few emails back and fourth I got OK discount on next order.
They had many ingredients that was banned years ago in many supps, prescription medicine ect.
Anyway, it's not looking good over here, I really hope the sites I'm buying from now can stay alive.
