We've got a nutrition company providing our own line of supplements but what do you guys actually want?

So far we've got 4kg tubs of mass gainer which we hope to sell for £29.99. Each 70g serving providing 344 cals, 36g protein, 28g carbs with 6g of fat. Which compared to some of the other companies is pretty good per serving.

We've also got some whey isolate protein 2.25kg tubs which we would like to sell at around a similar price. Each 30g Serving provides 27.6g protein, 0.3g fat, 1.95g carbs and 115 cals per serving.

Just would like your feedback in regards to the pricing and other products. Also thinking of perhaps a 80% protein so around 25g of protein per 30g serving which would be priced around the £24-25 mark.

MRP - Decent blend of whey, egg and milk protein - totalling 40ish grams of pro, digestive enzymes, low gi carbs - totalling 20ish grams and healthy fat from flax/mct etc totalling 5g fat...

get to work

A cheaper price than that for the whey tbh. Even if it was a concentrate and no isolate powder. Also - lots of cool flavours! :P

[jackson]

Thanks Wrapper. Would you rather have a whey concentrate giving up a 27g of protein for a 36g serving priced around £21?

In regards to the flavouring, eventually we may have 16 different flavours inc chocolate, strawberry, banana, peanut fudge, toffee, banoffee and quite a few others.

Yeah I think so mate. I'm not precious when it comes to isolate vs concentrate. Protein powder is protein powder and its there for convience I think, so id want something cheap(er) which mixes well, isn't full of crap additives and has decent nutrition levels. I never go off "you take 1-2 scoops", I go off protein per gram and I aim for 30-40grams of protein per intake, so if I need 30grams of the powder or 40grams, it makes no difference to me as long as I get that 30-40grams of protein.

I generally get through 5kg a month, so I try to stick to 35-42 pound range for 4.5 to 5kg (inc p&p), anything more takes away what protein powders are supposed to be... cheap and convienient.

For example, discounts supplements generally have offers on, which generally brings either 2x 2.5kg tubs or 1x 5kg tub to that 35-42pound range and they offer free shipping - sorted :) ... or there's MP/BP's unflavoured bulk which is £35 + p&p - which again is the quantity, quality and price I try to stick to.

Hope this is helpful :P

When are you launching this or where can more info be found?

Flavours sound superb :)

[jackson]

Thanks Wrapper.

We do aim to do cheaper offers for a multiple purchase. Once our site is complete I shall post the link up on here and will do some advertisement on UGM.

Think wrapper has covered everything i would add

but can you do a coffee type flavour

[jackson]

We hope to have a mocha and cappuccino flavour tisc.

I've tasted the vanilla and it is very good.

Oooo this sounds sexy! When's it out?! :)

[mick_the_brick]

All the best with this - but I am very suprised you are launching with such a wide range of flavours though

excellent

was speaking with boditronics wurz about them doing a coffe flavoured express whey and there reason for not doing one was expense. Apparently it is expensive to try and mimic the flavour of coffee more so than any other,

[jackson]

Thanks everyone.

Sorry Mick, perhaps didn't make it that clear. To begin with we only intend to stick to a few flavours and then hopefully expand the flavours, like you said we won't start with a massive range due to the fact that some flavours just won't sell.

[audiolush]

Good luck, sounds good.

Please include something more than the usual chocolate, bannana, strawberry, vanilla and raspberry. Boring!

If do the concentrate, at that price with cookies and cream, fudge/caramel - you'll have a customer for life here :)

When are you launching?

[andyboro]

a good cheap wpc would get my vote for sure - never bought into the whole overly processed isolate at all!

a proper MRP would appeal to me too - something that is actually more than whey and simple carbs as most seem to be these days.
