Do International Supplement Companies Care About Your Gains or Just Their Profits?

Touted as the gold standards in quality and performance, international brands dominate the fitness supplements space in India. Yet, behind the shiny facade and high publicity lies the question that matters: do these global giants really give a damn about your fitness journey or just have their eyes on maximizing profits? Let’s tackle the commonly asked questions in order to arrive at the truth.

  1. Do international brands really fare better than Indian brands?

    In the west — aggressive marketing combined with higher price tags = quality. But that is frequently far from the truth. In fact, several Indian brands such as iMuscles Nutrition adhere to international quality and performance standards while resonating with the Indian consumer needs. Choosing local means you’re not only supporting the economy — you’re being smarter, just as effective.

  2. What is the deceitful purchase of international brands?

    Many international brands exaggerate their claims to essentially justify high prices. This is often a marketing tool used in conjunction with proprietary blends that hides the dosages of the ingredients leading to underdosed or ineffective products. We at iMuscles Nutrition also believe in transparency in all our formulations and you must know what is inside what you are consuming.

  3. Why are supplements priced higher elsewhere in the world?

    Imported products also have the added costs of shipping, import duties and marketing. These costs don’t correspond to higher quality, but instead drive up the price you pay. By keeping unnecessary overhead low and following clean manufacturing practices, iMuscles Nutrition is able to supply them whether for sale at a fair price.

  4. But are Indian brands as secure as their international counterparts?

    Domestic brands such as iMuscles Nutrition tend to exceed safety standards set by international brands. Our ingredients are sourced locally and of the highest quality, we follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and we test rigorously. This guarantees that not only effective but also safe for long time use.

  5. Why international brands control the market?

    In China, international brands enjoy strong global brand recognition, as well as the assumption that imported products are always better. This however casts a shadow on reliable Indian brands with same or superior quality. At iMuscles Nutrition, we are here to defy that narrative and show that local can be just as good, if not better.

  6. And how do I choose an international or Indian brand?

    So when it comes to choosing supplements, prioritize transparency, ingredient quality, and certifications over the country a brand originates from. Seek out third-party testing, clear labelling and honest claims. iMuscles Nutrition provides these attributes that you can rely on us instead of paying extra for unfair international brands.

In Conclusion

International supplement brands might talk a bigger game, but that doesn’t mean they have your best interests at heart. They typically care more about their margins than about real results. iMuscles Nutrition is here to change that with great & affordable products made for you. Here, you pay for your profit — not for somebody else's margin.
