It needs complete transparency, no proprietary blends, only patented ingredients, stringent testing against banned substances and heavy metals while fully dosing effectively of each ingredient. Some decide to throw all of that out of the window and place all of their investment in marketing instead of quality. This, unfortunately, works to drive sales for the brand towards the unassuming consumer but it doesn’t work for the consumer and the results they are paying for. It’s not the correct way, but it’s their way to thrive.
MARK GLAZIER
The sports supplement industry is going through a sort of renaissance right now. Consumers are getting more educated about supplementation. They care more now than they ever have about what they are putting in their bodies. The consumer demand for clean labels without proprietary blends, fillers or excipients and with greater disclosure and transparency is growing. Consumers, now more than ever, are reading labels, doing research, and rewarding honest brands that comply.
RYBACK REEVES
I believe that in any business you have to create a product or brand that delivers. In a saturated market you need to differentiate yourself from the pack. While doing that, you need to take the proper steps to create products of high quality that do what the label claims to do. I can’t control what anyone else does, but I’m a big believer that if I wouldn’t use it, I shouldn’t expect others to.
With Feed Me More Nutrition, I’m simply providing the consumer with a dependable option that will safely deliver results – an option that I personally use myself and believe very strongly in. I use 3rd party testers to ensure every batch of product meets the necessary requirements, in turn providing a high-quality brand to my consumer.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”What makes the sports nutrition company you represent different than the others in the industry?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1509662630408{padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_column_text]MARC LOBLINER

We have one of the best formulators in the world who previously formulated the Bodybuilding.com private labels and the JYM Supplement Science line. He is fully invested in KAGED MUSCLE as a partner so now he has complete freedom to leave no stone unturned regardless of cost and quality to create the best line in the world. We are the fastest growing company in Bodybuilding.com history with the highest rated and reviewed product line. This is impressive considering we don’t invest much into marketing; this is simply as a result of word-of-mouth marketing from those who have purchased and recognized the difference in quality.
MARK GLAZIER
For 21 years, NutraBio has been committed to one important mission: never, ever compromise the integrity and efficacy of our supplements. This mission drives every aspect of our company. In pursuit of this quest, we have made 3 industry-first commitments to our customers, which have set new industry standards for quality and integrity.
First, in 2001, NutraBio became the first brand ever to remove all proprietary blends and fillers from its supplements and to commit to full therapeutic dosages of every active ingredient. It was not a hollow promise but an all-out commitment that we backed by destroying almost $300,000 in under-dosed proprietary blend inventory. This move almost threw us into bankruptcy, but we survived somehow and have emerged a better brand for it.
Second, around 2011 we took transparency to a new level by committing to full label disclosure. This meant disclosing every ingredient dosage, active and inactive, on our label. Not just the doses of the main ingredients but even the flavors and sweeteners doses are disclosed. It meant declaring the exact source of every protein along with its dosage and the corresponding yield of complete protein. With this change, our labels disclosed our entire formulas and left us naked for the consumer to judge.
Most recently, in January of 2017, we went even further by creating the website, CheckMySupps.com. On this site, our customers can enter the lot number of the NutraBio product they purchased and immediately pull up a 3rd-party independent lab analysis of our label claims.
Honesty, integrity, and transparency, along with a sincere commitment to never compromising, drive me and sets NutraBio apart. But we are not alone. There are now other brands with passionate leaders that truly care about their customers and believe as we do. I applaud these brands that are fighting the good fight; it is a difficult, expensive and long-term approach but the consumer deserves it.
RYBACK REEVES
I can’t control what other companies do, but I can control my business. For me, it just comes down to what I would want from a sports nutrition company. I believe in using natural ingredients and putting more of them into each individual supplement along with using the natural sweetener Stevia instead of Aspartame and sucralose. Using 3rd party testing to ensure my manufacturers are delivering on their end and that the final products are what I use myself on a daily basis. Providing great customer service and answering emails in a timely manner along with being accessible to my consumers is also essential.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”What’s one thing you’d like to see changed in the sports nutrition industry?” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1509662696347{padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509662718106{padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”]MARC LOBLINER

It is time for the sports supplement industry to adopt the practice of full label disclosure and transparency as the acceptable industry norm. This major industry transformation must happen. Consumers deserve to know exactly what they are putting in their bodies. They should not have to guess or rely on the “trust us” attitudes of brands that hide under-dosed ingredients in proprietary blends.
The use of proprietary blends is an archaic practice that must become a thing of the past if this industry is to maintain consumer confidence and continued growth in the future. Claiming that proprietary blends protect formulas is nonsense. Everyone knows it. Just not all will admit it. Any qualified laboratory can test for each ingredient listed on the Supplement Facts panel and come up with the exact formula. Prop blends do not protect a brand’s secret formula. They just hide the truth from the consumer.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]Full disclosure requires that every active ingredient be listed on the Supplement Facts panel, along with its exact dosage. Each ingredient must be listed using its common street name to avoid confusing the consumer, by the way the, FDA requires this. Inactive ingredient doses can also be disclosed. Every protein should be listed with both the amount of every source protein along with its corresponding yield of complete protein. Proteins should be listed by their proper name and designation. In other words, the term “whey protein concentrate” must indicate the exact source, whether WPC34, WPC80, or any other grade is used.
Consumers have the right to know all of this. These chemicals are going into people’s bodies. If a brand believes in its formula it must not hide it. Rather, it should disclose it and stand behind it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3473″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509662889888{padding-bottom: 24px !important;}”]RYBACK REEVES

I am most proud of our PRE-workout line. We created the first ever non-proprietary blend PWO back around 2002 and have constantly been refining it and improving it to get it where it is today. And we are not satisfied. A new and improved version will be launching soon, and I am sure many will follow. It comes in a stim and non-stim version. This is important because I believe that, if you remove the stims from a PWO, it must remain a viable product with true and measurable anabolic and performance-enhancing results. PRE is loaded with over 23 grams of therapeutically dosed active ingredients.

Being a results-driven individual, I love the entire Feed Me More Nutrition product line.
I think the most detectable results for me though, have probably been from The Big Guy Testosterone Booster. I saw firsthand, measurable results via blood work when my Testosterone levels increased nearly 400 points. Putting properly dosed ingredients (that are actually effective) into these formulas is not cheap, which is one of the reasons our price points are a bit higher than some of the competitors. But, we’re also including more of each ingredient. The same goes for our new fat burner, Shell Shock Extreme Fat Burner, the formula is all-natural and exactly what I’ve used throughout my tenure at WWE. It’s what has helped me remain lean at 290lbs while always adhering to all drug testing policy standards.

This product can take the place of pre-workout, intra-workout, BCAAs, and post-workout.

That’s a tough call – everyone leads different lives and has different needs based on their budget and lifestyle. For people that are always on the go and have a tough time meeting their protein requirements, I’d say taking a protein supplement to help you reach your daily goals would be of the utmost importance. If someone suffers from a low sex drive and low Testosterone I would say looking into a natural Testosterone Booster before turning to Testosterone replacement therapy should be the number one goal. Maybe you have someone who has it all going on, but they really lack energy and drive as the day progresses, well then looking into an energy supplement should be their priority to help them get over that hump etc. As much as we are all human, we all have very different needs and have to do what suits us best.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3479″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][nectar_btn size=”small” button_style=”regular” button_color_2=”Accent-Color” icon_family=”none” url=”https://fitnessinformant.com/pre-workouts/feed-me-more-nutrition-wake-up-unlimited-energy-review/” text=”Read Our Full Review”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” color_overlay=”#000000″ overlay_strength=”1″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_custom_heading text=”ABOUT FEED ME MORE NUTRITION” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:48|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1509661902888{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;}”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1509661930946{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-right: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 10px !important;padding-left: 25px !important;}”]Feed Me More Nutrition was founded by former WWE Superstar Ryback Reeves.

I have a fair amount of experience in the MLM industry, so I am sorry if this answer gets a bit long-winded. Back in the 1990s, I sunk over a million dollars into launching an MLM company. On its face, MLM seemed like a great idea: What better way to get your products out there than to financially motivate people to talk about them?
The company experienced exponential growth during the first couple of years, but once we committed to no proprietary blends, no fillers, and full therapeutic dosages, the MLM disappeared. The higher cost of fully dosed supplements did not leave enough of a margin to support the financial burden of MLM. MLM requires multiple tiers of paying downline commissions that can go as far as 4, 5, or even more levels deep. On the top, you have a parent company that needs to be constantly fed an army of new recruits to pyramid sales upstream while paying hefty commissions back downstream. Commission payout is expensive, so brands often make up for it by cutting product quality and using fillers and proprietary blends to under-dose ingredients and dilute products. For the same reason, brands that focus on BOGOs to drive their business cannot afford the cost of higher-end, fully dosed supplements.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”3480″ alignment=”center” animation=”Fade In” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]So how does MLM differ from a traditional model of paying commissions to a sales team? The answer lies in a question that the DOJ has been examining for decades: Does MLM actually entail selling products or selling opportunity? The pitfall of many MLM companies is that they build a marketing strategy where the opportunity of the downline distributor to profit rather than the consumers’ use of the product solely drives consumer purchases. With this strategy, product quality and efficacy are not important, so the product becomes no more than a cheap vehicle with which to drive opportunity. When corporate culture and strategy are built around paying end users to purchase products rather than use them, something eventually has to give. Product quality and efficacy are usually the first to go.
These days, many brands have incorporated affiliate programs into their marketing strategies. There is nothing wrong with this. It is a great way to reward influencers and their most faithful. It differs from MLM because the commission opportunity does not overshadow the products.

It isn’t something that I do, but if you have a product or service you believe in and it benefits the consumer and does what it says than how they go about their business is their decision. I am primarily focused on my brand and my message and really don’t form opinions on things that have no impact on what I’m personally doing.
