  1. Supplement Companies to Avoid

    My writing comes off as an *******, but anyone that has met me knows it's far from the truth. I'm one of the most laid back people you'll ever meet. Victim of time, I get straight to the point and don't fluff things. Supplement companies have very few employee's. Fixed overhead is rarely...
  2. 5 must have supplements for everyday.

    Some are non responders for sure. I was a big responder in college, might as well have been a miracle drug for me with sprinting.
  3. 5 must have supplements for everyday.

    I can't say mine are for workout per se. I'm older now and overall health is my top concern. Lets throw out protein as that's either something you're going to buy in supplement form or not. As a consumer, I'd go with whatever WPC you can find that is on sale and you like the taste of if...

    I've sold companies in this space, I've bought companies in this space and I've consulted on dozens of deals that may or may not have gone to transaction. When it comes to transactional issues within this space, few have been through as many as I have. If your model applied to our industry...

    You have trial lawyer experience, but not in this industry.

    Hi-Tech isn't using equity to do deals. They buy distressed assets and turn them around. They become a mini distributor of sorts, which is a smart move. Big difference in what he's doing and investment capital being used to consolidate.

    Please link me to the actual spot where that was said. I'll happily comment. Someone can invite him here as well. I'm not shocked at all with what people say these days. Facts become pesky things.

    No. Why would the manufacture take on that liability if you have no qc/qa team in place? Your argument is that a small brand, with little volume, is going to go to a big manufacture and get them to sign off and take liability, no. That's not how the real world works. They'll simply say no...

    PE doesn't want to manage these brands. Most brands are ran by hobbiest, not business people. That's why so few stand the test of time and ever go to a meaningful transaction. I'm part of a group of 3 that gets hired out to review possible transactions for equity groups. I'd say 1 in 100...

    Um, yeah, go run that by the FDA and see how that goes. Go to any standard QC/QA seminar on this industry and tell them that lol. Hi-tech, glanbia and dymatize are about the only brands that own their manufacturing and are vertical. Almost everyone uses 3rd party manufacturing. In your...

    100%. I've been very open about my exit from sports nutrition. My passion is in medical. The sports side pays for my research on the medical side. We're hoping to run our first human cancer trial this year. We'll run a human trial on Angelman's Syndrome for sure. Hard to get excited about...

    Was traveling cross country from amazon yesterday with crap internet. Will try get to everything. I started scivation and have owned it from day 1. Legal paperwork has been posted by others many times showing this. Once laws changed, going back to around 08-09, I had a PHD inside helping...

    Vein, your entire post fell apart as soon as you said it's ok to not have compliance because a company is small. All industries have barriers to entry. People put this in their body, you don't think on some level there should be QC around that? You think it's fair for new start ups who do it...

    Everyone loves the story of small companies. I get it, we want to help the small guy out. The problem in this space, being compliant is a massive amount of work. My QC team is 4 full time people, a PHD and 2 with masters. It's non stop work, which surprises most people. We are a 1 sku...

    These threads are always interesting to me. Having inside knowledge of the industry vs the perception by consumers. For a load of legal reasons, I can't say much. Most consumers have zero clue if the brand they support is "legit". They just build a story that makes them ok with believing it.
  18. The New Product Release Thread

    Everyone wanting to go white now. We moved off black first lol. Everyone is making a damn cookie now. LL have inventory issues and the recall that has just created a massive opening. I still don't understand why anyone is into these things. We sold out of our first and second runs of...

    It's grown in the USA off the backs of organic oats out of canada. It's organic, non gmo and gluten free. If it were pumpkin spiced flavored, every white girl would take it
