So a couple people posted in this thread about GNC price matching online stores, and I got a little bit excited. Then I went to GNC's site to confirm, and I found nothing. So I asked them, and I received the following e-mail in response:
GNC does not price match against online retailers. I apologize for any inconvenience.
GNC Customer Service,

You guys got my hopes up for nothing =( haha
Maybe some do? Or maybe they only do if it's the online store of an actual, physical retailer (another nutrition chain like GNC)
I fail at the internet, and thus, am still shopping at gnc. I'm too lazy to make my own shakes, so I do the Muscle Milk rtd's twice daily. I also get a few Redline Energy drinks for my pre-workouts every week as well, AND I do animal stack for my multi.
Come to think of it, I'm almost out of Glutamine, I'll have to pick some up this weekend as well. And Next weekend I'll be out of l-arginine.
Gar. Maybe I should do a better job searching on the internet.
I go to EJ's Discount Supplements located in Hawthorne, N.Y. They are right down the street from a GNC and they beat GNC's prices all month. The owners are a former NFLer and a Competitive BBer. They both know alot of shit regarding training and nutrition.
In New York there are GNC and Vitamin Shoppes and there's no comparison --VS has much better prices. GNC has a few more bullshit bodybuilding supps but I don't buy that junk. I obviously use Protein Factory products for real bodybuilding applications. And there are a few others online that are good.
try Nature's Plus vitamins...Made in the US, all the same butrients as GNC but are realised in a better timing manner. Also they put whole food concentrates in them. Best off all the FDA does random testing on them. They pay the FDA 1.5 million per year for random testing for accuracy. They use 100% natural AND organic whole foods and compunds in their multi vitamins. I believe they have been ranked number 1 as far as multis for the last 5 years. Best of all they are about the same price as GNC's multis.
GNC buys their vitamin powder in china...im not sayin chinease powders ar bad, but I dont think you should take a multi vitamin made with such low standards and produce so much at a time.
