    Another interesting fact is the current cost of supplements in neighboring Hong Kong (which already has a fairly well established supps market). I havent been shopping for supps in the States for a while but last weekend I was picking up supplements in HK and paid the equivalent of 81 USD for a tub of True Mass.
    For an Aussie 81$ US dollars is cheap for a tub of true mass

    I've heard that about Australia. You guys have it rough down there, huh? Supps expensive and stiff penalities if you're caught with gear.

    Yeah the idiots here treat heroin and gear as the same which we all know that it's not . And with Supps the normal price for a pre workout is $60 as an example and in the states it's more like $30-40 plus our dollar is 0.81 usa cents .

    all good points. Ihate to say it but China is running the show. Most or close to all our shhh is imports from China. Supps too. This is a sign of REAL slow business for the future of supps in America imo

    I was refering to China as a new market for supps...not a new manufacturing hub for supps.

    God help us all if supplement companies start outsourcing manufacturing to China. You think protein spiking is an issue?

    Anyone familiar with the melamine issue that occured in China a few years back? This was something that happened with baby formula that was manufactured in China. The companies were adding a chemical called melamine (not sure if I'm spelling it right) to their baby formula so that it would show a higher protein content. Turns out that melamine is lethal and actually killed a number of infant children in China.

    I mentioned China as a new market for supps because of the growing interest in health and fitness. That and they outragous spending power that many Chinese posses.

    When I moved here 6 years ago there was one gym in the city I work (and live part time) in. There are now 6 gyms within something like a 3-4 mile radius.

    For real....China EXECUTED at least one of the executive, I think more in the above scandal. That would not have happened in the USA.
