EAS Suppliments

[Ice_Man]

Hey Team, wanted to know if any one has tried any of the EAS supplements, particular the muscle building ones. I get a pretty big discount with them which is hard to turn down.

Im currently on the Eas whey protein and Thermo DynamX fat burning pills from them and soon to be nitron 5, right after I finish my Metaphysics Rampage (Recommend). If any one has tried the Muscle Armour, Nitron 5, Phosphagen Elite, or any other EAS product then I would love to know what you thought of it.

Thanks

As for the 100% whey Protein and Thermo DynamX.

EAS 100% Whey protein

All the normal Nutrients that go into any whey protein

Amount per serving: 30g

Protein- 23

Calories- 120

Fat- 2

Carbohydrates- 2

Cost at store about $90-100 for 5 lbs (Allot cheaper for me)

Servings per Container- 75

Taste- The best I have had, due to naturally and artificially flavours

Personally I believe it is the best protein I have taken due to its taste, ez of mixing, and results. For the shop value price I would give it a 3.5/5, but for myself 5/5 due to what I get it for.

EAS Thermo DynamX

This is a Thermogenic Fat Burning product.

Got so many names confusing ingredients that im not worrying about typing them all out how ever it does contain allot of caffeine 200mg per serving.

Price- $100 at stores

Size- 120 capsules

Serving Size- 2-3 capsules twice a day

Important notes are :

Do not exceed 5 days per week

Consume on an empty stomach

I have had previously taken Dymetadrine Xtreme fat burning pills a year ago and have to say the EAS product is way above it. However it has 4x the caffeine levels as the Dymetadrine.

4/5 great for shredding the fat off you and keeping you buzzing all day long, just make sure you do not take it to late in the afternoon other wise you will never get to sleep :shock:

Where do I sign up?! :shock:

[Ice_Man]

I would, only I don’t want to compromise the deal the army has with them, being that we can not give any one any information about this. For all I know there might be a user on this site that is from EAS.

But looking at the order form I can tell you I think they class us as almost a shop, buying every thing at the whole sale price.

Sorry about that

Did you take that stuff with creatine as well? I not sure about the Nitric Oxide products. And can you remember if you took it twice a day as directed or just 30min before work out.

So how much of a mark up are we being charged ?

[Ice_Man]

deegee

Well I think the middle men are getting a lot out of it. Even looking at the internet NZ supplement website it's still at a ridicules amount. I guess that’s why its a billion dollar industry, people will pay allotted for them.

I think bodybuilding.com is the way to go for the cheapest stuff.

If anyone thinks 30 odd bucks gross profit off a tub of protein is good I'd like to see you go into business and make a decent living out of it. Believe me the margins aren't that good once you have to pay the bare essentials like Tax, GST, ACC, wages, rent, power, phone/internet, freight, accountants, credit card merchant fees, eftpos fees, insurance, alarm monitoring, and then a whole host of other costs.

You'd be fooling yourself if you think you're going to get rich selling protein in New Zealand.

I saw one of these middlemen before. He walked around in gold-plated shoes, laughing to himself until his stomach was sore about how much money he just made of the last sucker that bought a five pound tub of whey from him. Man that $15 is going to go a long way!

One way that you all may get a discount is by buying in bulk for a club/organization. For example, you can start your own organization like this website. If there is a group of you who are willing to buy at regular intervals in bulk, you might get a good discount. Its a practice quite common in Europe and the USA. The bigger the amount your organization is willing to buy, the bigger the discount you can ask for.

What kind of discount you are able to get is dependant on the mark up though. no one is going to take a loss. I dont think protein is a big margin product here in Z certainly not for quality stuff anyway. I have been told that fat burners and associated products are given a good margin. I guess this would be true for some stores and not others.

At the end of the day with so many things, you get what you pay for.

Cheap stuff today is discovered to be underdosed etc tomorrow.

I understand what you are saying, as I use to work in the business industry myself and I know that there are allsorts of extra costs that go into selling product and keeping you're store alive, especially if you are a very small shop. And as 'bheeman' man said buying bulk you do get more of a discount and that’s where the small shops miss out. Don't think for second that I am saying stay away from the shops, I am always going to be buying something from them for the reason that you can trust the products they sell, the staff know there stuff and it can some times be a dam lot easier then searching all over the internet just to save a few $

[bheeman]

A lot of truth in what all of you are saying. I own a few B&M stores and had also owned a gym in the past. A B&M can never compete with an online-only retailer. They have very little overhead. As mentioned before, a B&M will have major overheads. An online trader can make a higher profit with less expenses, while a B&M can make a lower profit with more expenses. The best way I compete with the online-only retailer is by having a great customer service and providing the 'human' element that comes with having a B&M. Also as a previous gym owner, my gym used to supply branded and generic supplements, gym attires, etc. I used to get a bigger discount if I bought in bulk and sell it to my members in the gym. Selling supplements in the gym was a service I provided to my members. I didn't make any profit out of it. My members and friends always complained of the high price of supplements in the stores. Many of them were everyday folks who had very little extra disposable income. Thus it made me happy that I was able to help my members in this way.

I learned a lot from mistakes. But what I learned, I apply. B&Ms provide a wonderful service that customers appreciate. I believe that a B&M with bad customer service shouldn't be around. I know ( I also make sure my staff knows as well) many of my customers by face and provide that personal touch to our service. After all, it is my customers who provide me with a living and I will do my best in making sure they good a experience in coming to my B&Ms..even though the price is higher than a e-tailer.

By the way..B&M means Brick and Mortar. It is a physical place. I kept using the term without really explaining what it was! I apologize for not clarifying that in the begining.

That was very well put there 'bheeman', couldn't of said it beta myself

didnt use creatine with it.

yes my serving (think its 2 caps?) twice a day so 2 caps in morning and another 2 caps bout 20mins b4 training

sorry 2 go back - Staff, wages, holiday pay, rent increases, raw material price increases (top quality instantised whey protein concentrate - Alacen 450 - up 60% in cost from Fonterra in last 2 years alone!) all make running a business difficult, top that off with a 35% increase in petroleum manufacturing costs (packaging such as containers, labels and freight etc) and then have the consumer hit by rising petrol prices, interest rates reducing discretionary income and the like and only the well established or diversified business operators will survive that have adequate profit margins. I think a lot of consumers would be suprised how little is left in actual profit after all the costs are taken into consideration.

[frogie2001]

ahh man that sucks! when i was in the RNZE we didn't even get told about supplements, wish i had as I might have actually gained and kept some size from my years there, instead i wasted away to a 75kg wiry bastard. honestly the only thing i have used is the myoplex meal replacement and the thermo's. Thermos did nothing much, but the myoplex I found was a good weight gainer meal replacement. i my mind creatine is the same everywhere as long as it's made by a quality lab, the lab symbol on it says it all.

[Gym rat]

I have used EAS 100% whey proetin. I thought it was not bad.
