i like labdoor....i was googling for the best fish oil....and bam, Musclepharm Fish Oil appeared on the list.
Codie, no shiit...Musclepharm's fish oil is among the best on the market....it got more than 70% content of omega 3 fatty acids ...and it got high content of dha fatty acids.
Solgar's double strength and triple strength Omega 3 supplements come close...but still not as good.
these rankings are not completely off....but there should be more focus on what ratios of ingredients are believe to be superior to other ratios...
labdoor is for sure a commercial site...but nevertheless....Im happy for Musclepharm being high in the ranks in almost every product category...
could be though that the ranking changes according to your search history...if so, it's a pretty genius concept.
Centrum Adults ranked no. 72 by labdoor.....while Musclepharm Armor-V ranked no. 4 ?????learning curve, what's the hell is going on?
Musclepharm Armor-V ranked no. 4 by labdoor...so much more to the story than I thought. Musclepharm supplements are of the highest quality.
https://labdoor.com/rankings/multivitamins
ups...labdoor just changed the ranking...now Musclepharm is number 13 in quality and there are 51 fish oil supplements analyzed.
Really, nobody knows what fish oil supplements that are sold the most...my guess would be Kirkland and Nature's Bounty.
Also, the mercury content depends on the strength....those supplements that got more concentrated fish oil, should logically contain more mercury. Ive not heard of any soybean oil with mercury.
Musclepharm's fish oil is among the 30 most sold fish oil supplements in America. It ranks in top 10 when it comes to value and quality of these 30 most sold fish oil supplements.

Musclepharm's fish oil is a Nordic fish oil. Cold water/Nordic fish oils are the highest grade, most fatty acids per weight, and much higher DHA fatty acids content.
Solgar Omega 3 950 mg fish oil and Musclepharm fish oil are those that come closest to GlaxoSmithkline's prescription Omega 3 Lovaza in composition.
Musclepharm fish oil is not marketed the right way. It should be marketed as a very concentrated, high strength product.
1000 mg fish oil pill contains like 300 mg DHA Omega 3 fatty acids and 400 mg EPA Omega 3 fatty acids....man, that is a very potent product!
Any product with high DHA to EPA is pharmaceutically more effective than one that got low DHA to EPA. High is 40% content of DHA to 60% content of EPA.
Most 1000 mg fish oil supplements contain little EPA and DHA fatty acids...and DHA to EPA ratio is very low....typically DHA to EPA is like 20% content of DHA to 80% content of EPA...
GlaxoSmithkline's Lovaza, the only prescription omega 3 fish oil product (actually it is fatty acid esters of epa and dha)...got dha to epa at around 40% content of DHA to 60% content of EPA.
I myself took fish oil like 10 years ago to help ease some rosacea I had (Bill Clinton's skin disease).....I found out that DHA was what mattered...so I bought Solgar 700 Double Strength Omega 3...it contains like 360 mg EPA fatty acids to 240 mg DHA fatty acids per 1000mg fish oil pill.
Musclepharm fish oil is a high strength, very pharmaceutically effective fish oil supplement...but I bet that less than 1% of the buyers know that.
Brazil is a mess right now....I thought Electrobras was going to get a short term run...it didn't happen.
Electrobras has been ranging from $2 to $4 for some time now...Thank God I sold 15000 shares back in the Spring at $3.58 and bought some Musclepharm shares at $6.8...
I still hold 4000 shares...with a little gain at $2.5...but I should have sold at $3.9 a few months back.
price to book 0.1....it should go up soon....don't you think?
where are you getting this information from?
Donald Prosser is an accountant, he is a CFO for $150 million market cap Musclepharm and he is a director/interim CFO for another $2 million market cap (probably soon to be gone) company.
I don't see any problem. Arete Industries doesn't matter...it is one of these small companies that probably ain't gonna make it...but still got the obligation to file annual report.
He is a director at Arete Industries.
I believe he has been an Interim CFO too...it just means that Prosser took a transitory responsibility at Arete Industries until a new CFO was found.
I would not put too much into this...other than Prosser is somebody we can trust....being appointed as an Interim CFO is a compliment.
Wow, that's nice branding! I guess we aren't so far away from the $500 million in sales as we thought.
Musclepharm keeps on growing...and the growth is sustainable when attributed to new products...Musclepharm doesn't flood the market with redundant products all the time but puts much thought process behind each product launch...Also, Musclepharm has been smart in imitating Apple by making it a preannounced event each time a new product is launched....
It's not necessarily made the same place...I doubt it!
what about some Musclepharm tofu for Whole Foods Market?
This has been the brand strategy at Winn Dixie...but Walmart can sell for 50 times more Arnold and Fitmiss products than Winn Dixie...
Arnold branded products are perfect for the minority demographics of Walmart shoppers.
$200 per week per store translates into $36 million....and this might just be the beginning.
down the road, Musclepharm will most likely sell other brands and products as well.
Musclepharm should follow the trend and come up with more healthy products such as Coco Protein. Musclepharm could just as well compete with Procter and Gamble's Meta Wellness brand....and come up with some fiber products as well.
spitze! wunderbar!
Sports Nutrition in UK...and other countries around the World.
http://www.euromonitor.com/sports-nutrition-in-the-united-kingdom/report
The summaries of Euromonitor's market reports for countries around the World shows how fragmented the sports nutrition markets are from each other.
Lots of opportunities for Musclepharm around the World as most countries are dominated by one or two local brands that most likely are very ordinary and boring.
Nature Sport Protein....any news on when it will be released?
Nature Sport Recon is sold for $250 + tax an ounce.
Musclepharm should consider a nutraceutical brand similar to premier protein....for those that just want some protein without the hype.
Nature Bounty initially started with many brands, GNC for the gym rats, Nature Bounty for everybody, Puritan Pride for the cheapskates, etc...
Musclepharm could do the same...by selling similar products but in different strengths and with different marketing to different kind of consumers.
The Coco Protein is the closest to a neutral nutraceutical mass market product...but still under the Musclepharm umbrella.
it would be cool though if Dr Pepper or Nestle bought Musclepharm to compete against Powerade and Gatorade....not very likely though.
I believe the larger potential lies in the protein RTDS and protein bars. Premier Protein probably sells for $145 million protein RTDs and protein bars (revenue $130 million last year growing 12% y-o-y). Cytosport probably sells for approx $300 million Muscle Milk RTDs and protein bars (as Cytosport's total revenue $370 million last year)....
These two companies sole existence rely on protein drinks and protein bars....not on powders.
Tesla cannot compete with BMW....and Musclepharm won't matter much to Gatorade. Musclepharm could however sell $100-200 million in alternative RTDs to Gatorade, Powerade, Muscle Milk etc.
Musclepharm is not a $15 stock, probably more like a $25 stock...that said, Musclepharm won't come close to Glanbia for various reasons. Glanbia got financial supremacy, it got cost advantages Musclepharm never will have being completely vertically integrated.
Glanbia got a huge tax advantage too, being located in Ireland.
No, Musclepharm needs to worry about the industry ex. Glanbia.
that's what I told you guys...Musclepharm is easily gonna sell $100 million each quarter because of it's global appeal.
Cellucor is another brand that is doing very well in America, I just don't see that Chrome design to work for mass market or abroad. Chrome design appeals to the same guys that like Dodge muscle cars.....it doesn't appeal to the Italian or Turkish gym rat.
Musclepharm might consider some metallic container design for the American market though....perhaps some titanium or platinum series.
Nike going up on strong online sales should be a very bullish sign for Musclepharm investors....
Gatorade protein bars got more than 300 calories each...So, go for the Snickers bar if you want to lose weight fast....it only got 250 calories.
So you still love Musclepharm and you understand it's huge potential in Brazil...cool with me!
invested in GOL? why? Gol is expensive.
If you really want to invest in a Latin American airline, then invest in Avianca. Avianca is second to LAN but much cheaper...Avianca is a bet on Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, El Salvador, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil....The CEO Efromovich is a genius that has lived in Bolivia, Chile (Peru border), Brazil and Colombia. He started with Ocean Air in Brazil, then bought Avianca from Colombia, the bought TACA from El Salvador (TACA that previously bought Lacsa from Costa Rica).
I think Musclepharm is still trying to figure it out when it comes to Fitmiss.

I think the same as you and I was not referring to the lok of the brand or Jen Selter...Jen is wonderful for the brand...and the brand imitating SkinnyGirl brand's, 50ies style sophisticated woman is spot on.
I have a problem with Chady Dunmore flexing her muscles on the Fitmiss facebook page. I have a problem with the "Strong is the new sexy!"...I know that "Strong is the new Skinny" was taken...but then come up with something else. "Sexy" is not an appropriate word in any serious advertising unless it is for a perfume or something similar.
Something as muted as SkinnyGirl's Diet might be a little too simple for Musclepharm...but everything got it's limits.
Jen Selter got 3.5 million followers on Instagram...so she is an asset to Musclepharm. Chady Dunmore is fine too...but please don't let her flex her muscles...other girls might get away with it...but not Chady.
Who knows they might one day. Most of Musclepharm's marketing efforts look promising to me...except the marketing of the Fitmiss line that is way to masculine and aggressive for most women I know.
Musclepharm needs to cut the bs with women flexing muscles and acting like men. Fitmiss should be loud but delicate and sophisticated too....Those women that want to flex muscles they won't buy Fitmiss anyways.
I had a problem understanding bellator_exec's strategy. He told us that he was long with 18,000 shares and yet he planned to post something negative on Seeking Alpha??? that's insane!
there are 21 million college students in America...huge potential for Musclepharm.
Musclepharm needs to make more events with it's endorsers....and it needs to hand out millions of free samples and free shakers in places with lots of young people, be it at colleges, at sports events, at Venice Beach, at South Beach, in the suburban malls, in GNC, in Costco, etc, etc
Quote:
Red Bull, maker of a popular energy drink, allocated the majority of its budget to marketing to Generation Y. Its efforts included cars on college campuses, free Red Bull at parties, extreme sports events, and the use of racy language. Those marketing tactics are no coincidence.
It all depends on the price elasticity of the demand and the price moves of competitors.
Those that want to look sexy might be willing to pay whatever it takes to get there. Furthermore, lots of overseas sales are done by US distributors so changes of export prices might not be that pronounced....Buyers overseas may very well have to pay more for these products in their own currency.
Buyers overseas might become more selective though and only buy cool US brands like Musclepharm, and choose local brands over more ordinary American brands.
I believe Musclepharm is growing rapidly overseas even as the US dollar is appreciating. Bodybuilding supplements is one of the few things that for the majority is Made in USA...So, as these kind of supplements are getting more popular overseas buyers push through gravity and buy more.
bodybuilding.com foundation series...I wonder if Musclepharm is behind that private label?
pre-workout powders are bs and bad for your health.
whey protein products work and they are good for you.
many men and most women are deficient of proteins...so, protein bars, protein drinks have lots of health benefits to those that don't go to the gym
The average American eats 1,128 snacks per year....so, I bet that MP Combat Crunch is gonna make a whole lot of money for Musclepharm.
The protein bars have really become mass market and the MP Combat Crunch got the coolest packaging on the market.
