Working with Joe R. at Nutrishop has been life changing for me. I got off HGH 83 days ago today…read more I'm only doing TRT right now, but I wanted to gain back what I lost from HGH.... and this might shock you.. but everything you need to do that is here at Nutrishop. But what Nutrishop has that gnc and vitamin shop doesn't, is persons like Joe that are very knowledgeable on all the products in store. Since switching my Creatine source from GNC Beyond Raw Hydrochloride to Nutrishop Cre-Alkaloid, I saw results on the first workout. I ask Joe honestly for what he would add and he recommends stuff I never heard before. And best part is, everything is safe and I don't have to worry about contamination from black market pro hormones. Joe recommend the Lipo Carnitine Fat Burner to mix with Bucked Up pre workout. The lipo is caffeine free and offsets the caffeine in the Bucked up. Then recommended taking the phosphates which maximizes the benefits of protein. I take that with the Creatine Alkaloid and it's a killer, pump, workout and fat burn. Post workout shakes I substitute PB2 artificial powdered peanut butter for real peanut butter. I was putting way too much skippy in my protein shakes. This one recommendation on the peanut butter alone by Joe as well as a few others diet wise has dropped my saturated fat consumption on the month 160-200/grams and overall fat consumption was reduced over 1000 grams. You can see the 30 day difference. Thank You Joe! I owe you man. My only regret is passing Nutrishop by all these years.

Great little place right across the way from the 24hr Fitness. Packed with great sports nutrition…read moreand supplements, this small shop host some of the most knowledgeable and kind people I have ever met. I came here looking for some whey protein and they not only helped me select the product best for me, but they also educated me on how my body would break down the product as well as the other products that I was using. They also have a fridge packed with cold drinks that are perfect for anyone in need of a recovery drink. Awesome place, Great people, Good products offered. They don't have as much product as like a GNC, but what they do carry is top notch. No store brands that are all filler. As such, prices reflect the product. A little more expensive, but hey... I pay more for a steak at a single sitting... so I will shell out for this stuff.

Typically, I come in with $150-200 in cash, walk up to the owner and I'm like, "Jack, I'm fat, shot…read moreout, recovering from a broken knee-cap, I'm ready to get back in shape, this is what i'm taking, what else do I need?" I seriously only end up spending about $100. This has happened to me a couple of times already. Then I say "Jack, I got another $80. 'Is there anything in here on top of what I already got that I could take to supplement my diet?" And 9 times out 10 he'll say "Nope, you're all set". I live in Downtown Sac and every time I go to GNC they always ask me, "Sir, Have you had your multi-vitamin today?" I promise they'll ask you that every time you go for the exit. They're always trying to sell me something, but with Jack he treats you like family, not a dollar sign. Jack's wife and sister work there too and they know their stuff. I could call in and ask the price on whey isolate, what flavor, how many g's of protein per scoop, how many scoops and their quick. I walk in there and Jack's not there, no problem. They know what time it is. It's also cheaper here. If Jack didn't know jack about supplements and had crappy customer service, I'd still come because the prices are so cheap. Just sayin'.

Most importantly, they'll help you with a goal and a starting point. They encourage and celebrate with you too which is so sweet and fun!

But over the last few years, I kind of went through a period of low energy, depression and a lot of stress. When I finally decided to take charge of my life style again, diet, exercise and supplementation was back in the forefront. I happened to be in the Walmart shopping center where this store is located, and I realized, It was time to return to GNC and see what they had to offer and maybe get motivated again. I mainly needed to buy some Peptiva for my mom. I found myself almost amazed that they carried several products where previously I had been running around to other places or purchasing online. There was a sale going on where I bought an item and got a second 50% off! And even though others were at full price, I found out by the very nice and helpful staff member April, that my membership was still in full force! I received my qualified discounts and earned points towards future purchases! I'm pretty sure I saved about $100.00 on that day! Now I may consider their monthly shipment program to save even more money and time, including free shipping! I'm already looking forward to getting my next shopping list together for my next visit! Thanks April for all your help!
