Sports nutrition from the USA and where to order it

Any physically active person, any gym-goer, and even more so an athlete, needs good sports nutrition. Something that would provide energy and contain all the necessary micronutrients. There’s just one problem: in Russia, this kind of nutrition costs outrageously much. Three to four thousand rubles for a large tub of whey protein!? Thousands of rubles for a package of gainer? Close to a thousand for a few servings of amino acids? And if you’re gaining weight or preparing for a competition, you need to eat 6-8 times a day? You could go broke like that!

Why sports nutrition should be ordered from America

That is why more and more Russians prefer to order sports nutrition from America. The reason is that all regular stores and wholesale sellers buy it there too. They just add their markup afterward, pay VAT, store rent, and salespeople's salaries. And in the end, the same package costs 20-40% more. And it may sit in warehouses for several months or even years.

The markup on dietary supplements from America in Russia is even higher (just check!). Because buyers do not have much choice. They have to take what stores offer. But what if you broaden your horizons? And buy vitamins and sports nutrition directly from the USA? You remove the middlemen, and you can order at the most favorable prices yourself. Sometimes even with discounts. And the advantages do not end there.

1. It is more выгоднее!

Try an experiment yourself. Go to a popular Russian website and find any product. Then enter its name, say, on Amazon.com. And just compare the prices. The difference will be quite impressive!

The difference for amino acids, gainers, antioxidants, NO boosters, even sports bars — is about the same, 15-25% on each one. At the same time, you can even add them to your main order and not overpay a single cent for shipping. And if you buy from popular American websites for bodybuilders, or indicate on Amazon itself that you need new servings every 2-3 months, prices drop further. Sometimes very significantly (depending on the type of product).

Just keep in mind that at one time (in one parcel) you can ship no more than four identical items. Otherwise, the parcel is considered a commercial shipment, and completely different terms apply to it. That is, you cannot order more than four identical packages of American sports nutrition. We also advise that the total weight of the parcel not exceed 3,5 kilograms.

In practice, the biggest savings come when you order the maximum amount of protein from the USA from sites like BodyBuilding.com. Or, on the contrary, when you buy small packages of the products you need that can easily be added to your main parcels (for example, with shoes, electronics, or clothing).
