Looking for recommendations for reputable sources for workout supplements.

In particular: Looking for a source for MusclePharm BCAA 3-1-2. (Aka: BCAA Essentials.) I've been buying it from Amazon for years, but I'd like to get out from under Amazon dependency.

Bodybuilding.com and all star health.com are two places I shop.

Do not know if Vitacost has what you are looking for, or a like product, but we have been using them for years. Prices are reasonable, and service is quick. And they have a good guarantee. I do not personally deal with them as our daughter does all the buying for her and my families.

Thanks. I'll check.

"Like product" won't cut it, though. I require the MusclePharm product particularly. There are tons of supplements out there. Thing is: For any given supplement: Brand A ≠ Brand B ≠ Brand C.

Wow. I'm kind of surprised with the low number of responses, what with all the people here on SF that work out.

I get ON Gold whey at Costco and that the only supplement I use. *shrug*

+1 for Bodybuilding.com. Good prices and regular sales.

Prior to Amazon, I bought nearly everything at DPS Nutrition. Great prices and selection. They usually have a coupon code too.

For the OP's BCAA:

BB - $0.50 per serving

DPS - with coupon code $.426 per serving (w/o coupon code $0.533)

Several factors:

Only a percentage of the membership work out.

Of those that work out, only a percentage use supplements.

Of the percentage of the membership that buy supplements, only a small percentage buy that particular one.

And of those who buy supplements, even that specific one, only a percentage get them from somewhere other than Amazon.

So it's only a small subset of a subset of a subset of a subset of the overall forum membership that will have useful responses for you. Perhaps only a couple members in the end. That's the result of such a specific and narrow query.


Similar to Leemur, I can't be of much help in this instance because the only supplement I use is whey protein, which I get in bulk from Sam's Club.

RogueJSK: Yeah, I figured that. But still...

tatortodd: Thanks, will look into DPS Nutrition

sig77: Noted. Thanks!

Leemur: Yeah, I get my protein powder almost exclusively at Costco. Sometimes at Sam's. Usually when they put one of the ones I like on sale.

I get a lot of stuff at GNC and bodybuilding.com (they actually had a retail store here a couple years ago). That specific product at GNC shows out, but shows in at BB and MP.

I will second DPS nutrition
I never used it but my best friend of 36 years orders from them once a week or so.

We have been working out since high school and he studies the various supplements in his every waking moment. Which I don't know why he did study that stuff when we were at OSU.

I also use the Vitamin Shoppe for about everything
Mainly because I can go into the store and get what I need.

Also another good site we have used for years is Puritans Pride.

I used to use a number of pre and post workout supplements but now I just use coffee for my pre-workout.

I do run through periods when I take vitamins and ZMA at night. Now a days I try to get all the nutrition from various fruits, veggies and meat.

Thanks for the add'l feedback/votes, 2012BOSS302 and mrapteam666.

I also like bodybuilding.com and Vitaminshoppe.com

plus I have just discovered a new source for great prices:

I just started using myprotein.com, was using muscle pharm and optimum nutrition that I bought at Costco before that
