Further price increases in the sports nutrition sector

Brief statement on renewed price increases for some supplements.

Due to the continuing rise in global raw material prices on the market, the prices for sports nutrition supplements will also be raised again by some manufacturers from August 2012. As with the increase in the 2nd quarter, mainly raw materials such as protein, amino acids but also e.g. Creatine.

We always get many questions, why are the prices for supplements rising?

The renewed increase in protein is e.g. largely due to the fact that the EU exported 142,400 tonnes of skimmed milk powder to the world market in the first quarter of 2012, 20% more than in the same period of the previous year. As in 2011, this makes it the world's largest supplier of skimmed milk powder, ahead of the USA and New Zealand. This high demand has resulted in a sustained rise in the price of supplements in this area Eiweiß & Protein result. At amino acids is e.g. one reason the high demand from mass markets such as L-arginine as an additive in anti-hair loss shampoo (that's no joke).

We always strive to keep the prices for all our products in the shop as cheap as possible and only pass the price increases on to our customers as little as possible.

In addition, the transport costs have also increased with all shipping service providers, as well as with our shipping company DHL. The shipping service providers explained the increased transport costs with the increased fuel costs as well as the truck toll on country roads.

Here, however, we will initially bear the increased costs in full and not burden our customers. The shipping costs in the toppharm-online.com shop will remain stable at an attractive level for the time being!
