Thread: BSN Price Increases

Not surprising protein has been going up for awile now. I guess their prices will go up with everyone else's.

Yes BSN prices are increasing, effective August 1st... They have to find a way to pay for there massive advertising on the UFC.. I don't know if you guys saw the pay per view about a month ago or so.. But their logo was in the Octagon. They are now the official supplement sponsor for the UFC.. Gotta pay for it some how.

Wow! That doesn't surprise me alot though they were pricing themselves out of buisness.There products were way overpriced and made MT look like an affordable option at times.
Maybe BSN will use be more reasonable I think they are a pretty buissiness savvy company.

Xyience was really overpriced, but they had to pay for all that sponsorship. They were sponsoring some of the big time MMA guys from UFC.. Chuck Lidell naming one.

They are very good at what they do. They are keeping focused on a few main products and not trying to come up with a supplement to fit into every nutritional category. Xyience lost focus and tried to come out with everything they could to sell to customers. Vitamins was one out of many that just didn't make god business since. Leave that stuff up to NOW Health Foods.

If BSN ever started selling vitamins and joint care, I would be baffled. But on the other though, now they sponsor UFC, they may need something to give to the sore fighters. I can almost see this "joint care" working though

I guess I should cancel my whey protein product as well, and leave that up to XYZ company?

I agree it's borderline ignorant to sell a vitamin if it was as overpriced as the rest of their product line. Their are so many options out there.
