How big is the mark-up on supplements?

[El Diablo Blanco]

MuscleTech usually marks their stuff up around 1267.998283%.

That's because it is 94.23321% more effective than a placebo.

I was a regional manager for GNC when I was in grad school years ago.
It depends on the product but I knew all the marigins for every major product but that was years ago.
The mark up was 40-60% from the purchase orders , depending on brand( after shipping costs).

I was looking at the clearance section on SND (yes, Matt C I know you hate them) and they have old protein bars at 10$ per box

the website claims the regular MSRP is 55$ (which I imagine is inflated to make the website's price seem like even more of a deal)

it makes me wonder how much any supplement really costs the manufacturer to produce and how much each company marks it up down the line before it gets to the customer

interesting information

The supp game is bent as fucck, most are under dosed/make false label claims.

In the UK we recently had a debacle involving one of the biggest manufactures supplying under dosed powers to companies - some were in on it some were not.
