I happened to discover this place by pure chance. I was strolling around Sheung Wan in search of a…read moresports nutrition store, for a friend who was after some good quality protein powder. Apparently, gyms used to sell some of these but they seem to have discounted them a while ago because people felt they were too expensive.
As I looked down on my phone to reply his message, I noticed the shop I had just stopped by had some powders on display; I could just see the bottom of the shelves and a guy's feet as it was half closed. He noticed my curiosity and pulled the gate up. Yes, I wasn't mistaken; it was exactly what I had been looking for. What a coincidence!
The owner of the shop kindly invited me in, even though the shop wasn't opened to the public yet. I could feel a great vibe already, very young active atmosphere. It is a small shop in the heart of Sheung Wan, but it has great variety of products (energy bars, pre-workout drinks, probiotics, antioxidants, etc.) for the weightlifter, the runner, the swimmer...pretty much anything concerning endurance, energy, weight-gain and weight-loss and body definition.
And they aren't as pricey as supplements from mainstream chains such as GNC and the like. The owner had been in this business for quite a while and was developing his Portuguese company further in Hong Kong so he's got a good knowledge of the market and the products and can help you decide what's best for you.
I found Gold Nutrition a great alternative to other stores I had been to because, to start with, they had the product I was looking for, with the exact requirements my friend wanted (I had to look at the ingredients carefully as these products are highly specific). Second, even if I didn't have the ingredients and specifics written down, I could have counted on the owner's advice and third, although expensive, they are still affordable.
So that coincidence made for the happy discovery of the day, not only for me, but also for my friend, and the friends of my friend and...so on.
