Here are the brands worth knowing in the US fitness market as of 2026.

## 2\. Which brands are associated with which supplements?

| Supplement category | Brands to know | |--------|--------| | Whey protein | Optimum Nutrition, Dymatize, Ghost, Myprotein | | Creatine | Thorne, Nutricost, Transparent Labs, Optimum Nutrition | | Pre-workout | C4, Ghost, Redcon1, Legion, Kaged | | Mass gainers | Optimum Nutrition, MuscleTech, Dymatize | | BCAAs / EAAs | Xtend, Ghost, Kaged | | Electrolytes | Liquid I.V., LMNT, GHOST | | Vitamins / minerals | Thorne, NOW Foods, Nature Made |

## 3\. What does the market data tell us?

A few interesting findings\:

- Protein remains a leading sports nutrition category among American consumers. - Hydration and electrolyte products are growing rapidly. - Pre-workout sales have also started growing again. - Creatine is gaining popularity beyond traditional bodybuilding.

A 2026 industry report citing Lumina Intelligence data found that 12% of surveyed US consumers used protein powders, 6% used pre-workouts and 6% used creatine. www.nutraingredients.com

ConsumerLab's 2026 research, based on more than 8,850 supplement consumers, also identified creatine as one of the fastest-growing supplement categories. www.consumerlab.comwww.consumerlab.com

## 4\. My shortlist: 10 brands to research first

If you're researching the American gym supplement market, I'd prioritize\:

1. Optimum Nutrition 2. GHOST 3. Cellucor 4. Dymatize 5. MuscleTech 6. Transparent Labs 7. Redcon1 8. Legion Athletics 9. Thorne 10. Nutricost

One important distinction\: brand recognition, actual sales market share and the brands individual gym-goers use are three different measurements. There isn't a reliable public national ranking specifically covering all American gym-goers.

What is your main reason for researching these brands? Are you looking to enter the US supplement market with your own brand, identify competitors, or understand what American gym-goers actually purchase? That would help me narrow the research considerably.

Several U.S. supplement brands can be purchased internationally, either directly or through authorized retailers:

- Thorne - commonly available through international retailers; direct shipping depends on the destination. - Life Extension - available internationally through retailers and some regional storefronts. - Nordic Naturals - sold through international supplement retailers. - NOW Foods - distributed internationally and available through overseas retailers. - Solgar - widely distributed outside the United States. - Garden of Life - available through international distributors and retailers. - Swanson - sold internationally through specialist retailers. - California Gold Nutrition - available through iHerb, which serves many countries. - REDCON1, Universal Nutrition, Goli Nutrition, Solaray, Trace Minerals, Country Life, and 1 Up Nutrition - listed by an international distributor shipping products from the U.S. - EFX Sports - sells internationally through Coupang, including South Korea and Taiwan.

A convenient option is iHerb, which carries many American brands and ships to numerous countries, but brand and product availability varies by destination. Some U.S. retailers also ship internationally while restricting particular brands; for example, Professional Supplement Center lists many countries it serves but excludes certain brands from international shipments.

Before ordering, check:

- Whether the brand ships directly to your country - Import restrictions on vitamins, herbs, hormones, or sports supplements - Customs duties and local taxes - Product expiration dates and return policies - Whether the seller is authorized, especially on marketplaces

International shipping policies change frequently, so the destination-country checkout page is the final authority.
