He sold MetRx?

Oh.
I looked it up and not wonder if humans can take it?

I thought he was going to come out with a new protein since he sold met-rx,the new met-rx is NOT the same like it used to be.

Yeah, and in order for the profit margins to become more productive the company skimped on the ingredients getting them from other sources, it's might be a oldie but you know what's in it.

Sold for $108M, correct?

From Past threads of Metrx

Met-Rx was sold for $105 million dollars a while back - Rexall purchased them - then Rexall was purchased by the company that purchased GNC - then they sold them to Natures Bounty - the company that owns Vitamin Shoppe. Scott Connelly only had 49% of Met-Rx when is was sold - an investment company owned the rest and sold it. Scott didn't have a choice but made 50 million out of it. Scott is doing doing very well out all now - some kind of illness - and hopefully - he will get better and out of it.

Wow I thought people knew what he is doing. Part of his sale of MetRx was that he could not be involved in the supplement industry. So he started K9Rx for dogs. It is awesome stuff. It took him more than 3 years to develop. I was selling it at my store on Oahu and every customer that bought it and feed to the dog said they loved it. It looked just like MetRx and came in packets and you mixed it with water. The dogs ate allot of it. As far as I know that is what he is still doing. I think the website is at http://www.k9rx.com

It was 108 milliion and you are not taking into account what he made from the investment company prior to the sale. Plus, he held 51% not 49% -- you don't give about half of your company away for free. Scott, sold to Rexall and they were bought by Royal Numico. Trust me on this I was there.

Scott is working on a new product for his new supplement company, which should come out soon, with new product lines. Billycarp was testing it, along with others here at Getbig.

Actully several guys have taken it. I was selling it out of my store on Oahu. Everybody came back and bought more. One guy came back to tell me his dog had chewed his way through the door of the closet where he was storing the K9Rx. When he woke up and saw the door all chewed apart he didn't know what happened. When he looked inside he saw every packet of K9Rx was ripped apart and all the stuff was gone. It is great to mix with dry food.

Dr Scott formulates the CNP range of products - Pro-Peptide, Pro-MR, Pro-Ms, etc., and he company manufactures the range in the States, in conjunction with Kerry Kayes' CNP affiliate company in Britain.

Yeah once people used it back then they went out and bought loads ofit to stock up, cause they noticed somuch fat loss. It was rumored for quiet awhile that there was clen in the product,since back in those days duchaines company or some other companies were actually putting trace amounts of things like that in to it's products.

My dogs won't leave me alone till I give them a little of My MRP. I hope the guy's dog didn't get kidney failure from too much protein in one shot. I have a friend who raises beagles. He's had dogs die from too much protein. They love the stuff, but take into consideration the dog's size and give the protein accordinly.

Thanks for the info BBz, I have dogs and they go crazy when i have a protein bar ora protein drink I usually let them eat some of the bar, and lick the glass when I'm done.

I keep a big box of protein bars in the pantry and if I leave the door open they go straight for them, instead of scratching at the dog treats. Also have to be careful cause the chocolate

Vitamin Shoppe is not owned by Nature's Bounty (NBTY). NBTY owns a small chain of mall-oriented supplement stores and they own a group of GNC's in Europe. Goldman Sachs (investment company) owns Vitamin Shoppe.

Scott is a genius. He is VERY intelligent. Some close friends of mine deal with him quite often. I really hope he comes back to the industry as he can bring respect and integrity, something this industry needs. He has some AMAZING theories on protein and its consumption. I heard about some of the recent things he's talked about. I think it would be cool as shit.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr Connelly when he came to Hawaii and did a seminar. Very eloquent speaker and very knowledgable....

One thing Ill always remember is way before the Atkins was popular or ever heard of, he spoke about an Atkins like diet which just amazed me. Now look at it...Atkins was the craze. Imagine if Connelly promoted it as his diet....

He was saying that a diet high in carbs is not the answer..he used the egyptians as a prime example of a civilization whose existance was a high carb diet but had many health problems...

In my mind..Connelly was the genius who came up with the high protein diet not Atkins...
