whatsmy_age_again Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Hi everyone,Does anybody know about the quality behind supplements made in New Zealand (i.e. the quality of ingredients used)? Does anyone know which brands are NZ made ones?I don't, by face value, trust 100% what brands say in their advertising, so if anyone has objective knowledge then that would be great.cheers!

dunno Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think Horleys, TnT and Balance are NZ made, correct me if im wrong however.Just become a label reader as opposed to paying attention to marketing like you are doing. What products are you looking into...protein, creatine, preworkout? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrsym0r Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Is it still possible to get straight Fonterra whey from Davis Trading on the cheap? Doesn't get much more kiwi than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsmy_age_again Posted September 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 Thanks for your replies.I was looking at the 'Shotgun' brand and then that got me wondering about NZ brands in general.I highly recommend reading peer-reviewed scholarly articles in research databases about supplementation - you get a scientific analysis about what all these things actually do for your body and how much you need. You'd be surprised about the facts compared to product advertising.I'm looking forward to any more replies you all have on the NZ brands topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted September 29, 2012 Report Share Posted September 29, 2012 You can also add Reactiv and Nutratech to your NZ-made list.all these supplier's popping up ,I really hope target or someone test all their protein's. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalidane Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Pysudo whats wrong with nutratech? I have used for ages have got great resultsA lot of people gave up on the brand as some batches are good and some are bitter or otherwise 'odd'.The look of what I'm using now reminds me a lot of them there shitty mass gainers so I'm more than a little curious as to those numbers.

Just lucky I guess :shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pseudonym Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Sorry, I wasn't suggesting anything was wrong with Nutratech (although personally I didn't like the taste when I tried it). I was just saying that these were two more NZ companies. I've now edited my post above to be clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybro1 Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've had nutratech banana flavor before, blended it with ice, water and flaxseed oil tasted quite nice. I was surprised with the amount of lecine serve serve more than balance.At the moment I'm using balance WPI vanilla flavor tastes awesome which is lucky as I brought 9kg of the stuff!

Maybe i have just been lucky?Working through a 2.25kg bag of vanilla as luck would have it. Having it alone with milk or with flaxseed oil chucked in. Best before 24/08/14. There's a faint bitter aftertaste - not enough to bother me.Always done well with the 1kg natural and flavoured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted October 1, 2012 Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Is it still possible to get straight Fonterra whey from Davis Trading on the cheap? Doesn't get much more kiwi than thatNot really - Fonterra don't just manufacture whey protein in NZ. There's lots of Aussie Sourced Fonterra whey on the market in NZ being marketed as NZ made whey - for a while that's all you could get off Davis and probably still is. Fonterra NZ isn't producing much whey at the moment so it's a bit hard to come by some of the NZ made stuff.Here's a few NZ Based Brands, most good, some maybe a little bit questionable:Davis TradingLeppinPharmasports/HornetRed8/ThompsonsReactivShotgun/EatMe/CobraLabs CurseEvolvNFSEmpir e Brands/Underground Muscle/ Direct From ManufacturerBalance/NutralifeHorleysNutratech/bodybuilding.co.nzPrivate Label Nutrition/BS Sports/BuyBodybuildingsupplements/proteinfactory/fitonezSana Direct02b healthyPowerfoodsElite FitnessProactivUnkutZealeaRaiseysTNTGO HealthyLimitlessMetaphysicsPureteinNU ZestNZ Protein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
