Whey protein - a big seller

Whether or not you are in the sports and fitness industry, as a reseller of health supplements you can't have failed to notice the rapidly growing popularity of whey protein.

For example, when shopping at your local natural food shop or health store, you will no doubt have seen several brands of whey on the shelves. This is in response to the exploding level of consumer demand for this milk-derived protein supplement.

Whey supplements are now so popular because they are being recognised as an excellent source of protein - a macro-nutrient that is essential for normal growth, cell repair and the production of hormones, immune cells and muscle. This makes whey protein powder a must-take supplement for bodybuilders and athletes, and anyone else who regularly places high demands on their bodies and therefore needs additional protein to help maintain existing muscle and build new muscle.

But, despite this traditional use of whey, it is not just for gym fanatics. It actually contains 6 different types of protein that also have potent disease-fighting properties. Numerous studies have shown that whey protein can enhance immune function by, for example, raising blood levels of glutathione, the body's primary antioxidant. Glutathione not only protects us against free radical attack, but is also instrumental in a well-functioning immune system.

As a result, the appeal of whey protein supplements has extended way beyond muscle-builders, to those who are simply health conscious and wish to use it as a nourishing daily shake. In other words, resellers of wholesale whey protein have a huge new market at their disposal.

The question is, how do you stand out from your whey-selling competitors?


Premium quality whey protein powder

Many people consider whey to be a near-perfect form of protein, not least because it is surprisingly low in fat, easily absorbed by the body and packed with immune-supporting compounds. While this is certainly true, not all whey products are equal. As with anything, it is important to consider the quality of whey supplements.

For example, many cheap whey protein isolates are produced from acid cheese. They are by-products of acid processing, which is a cheap way to separate the whey from the curd. Most of these whey products are rated below pet foods because of the inferior quality of the protein, which is actually more of a nitrogen waste product than one that will produce any health benefits.

Similarly, many of the cheaper whey protein powders so often found on the high-street and imported into the UK are derived from hormone-laden cow's milk and GM products, both highly undesirable ingredients if the aim is to support health. The concerns about whey protein 'contamination' such as this tend to revolve around steroid-based sex hormones (like synthetic testosterone), growth hormones (such as bovine growth hormone), and non-hormonal compounds (such as antibiotics).

So the bottom line is that if you want to stand out from the crowd of other whey protein resellers, opt for a wholesale whey protein powder that is of premium quality and manufactured in the UK. Convince your clients to buy using the product facts and, when they feel the difference, they will keep coming back to you for more!

Private label whey protein powder

Another great way to differentiate your whey protein powder from that sold by your competitors is to brand it differently. While you, of course, have the option to resell Whey Complex PRO under our Specialist Supplements labels, why not use your own labels?

We offer our resellers a private label option. This means selling our whey protein under your own branding. This option has a number of key advantages, including the ability to:

  • target a particular market with your design (e.g. weight loss, muscle building, men, women, etc)
  • stand out from the crowd (e.g. with a unique, eye-catching design)
  • set your own resale price without worries about customers comparing your prices to other resellers of the same brand of product (which usually means higher profit margins for you)!

Often, supplements resellers are put off from using their own private labels because of the costs involved in label design, as well as manufacturer-imposed minimum order quantities for private label products. Here, at Specialist Supplements Ltd, we have no minimum orders. What's more, our private label service is incredible value for money.

For a small, one-off fee, we can personalise one of our design templates with your business name / logo, company colours, unique product names and contact details. You could have your very own range of supplements in a matter of days.

So, if you are looking for private label whey protein, look no further!
