GNC Files for Bankruptcy
I'm actually surprised this hadn't happened sooner?
I have not set foot inside a GNC since at least a decade. There are far better and much less expensive options for more and other brands of supplements. I also noticed that they were moving to push their own brand of supplements which probably didn't help. |

Supplements are a huge business with dubious benefits and now some are thinking they may actually be harmful.

Protein, creatine and caffeine are the only supplements that I take, but I do like GNC's Samoa flavored whey protein and LIT AF Sour Gummy Worm pre-workout.

Magnesium, MSM, collagen are my 3. I'd walk into a GNC if I was close and needed something "generic" like that.
When my wife requests that I had her some of her gummy multis, I pour 2 handfuls because they taste good. |

I shopped at GNC in the 90s, switched to Vitamin Shoppe later on and now solely rely on Amazon. The selection, prices (including 5% back with CC), and almost instantaneous delivery are the reason why all of these specialty health stores will soon go the way of the dodo. Bezos' current $200B net worth will only increase.
