Supplements in the UAE

Pharmacy Ranges

The number of pharmacies in Dubai is growing almost daily. Life Pharmacy, Boots, Binsina and many more are all taking prime retail positions and have extensive pharmacy products to sell to their customers.

We work with distributers and pharmacies to build ranges and source ingredients that are both popular and in growth. We have a dedicated range of off-the-shelf products that will suit most pharmacy chains and we also create bespoke items to fill the gaps that appear in customer demand.

From essential everyday multivitamins to joint formulas and appetite suppressants, we have a truly comprehensive range.

Nutrition Stores and Gyms

With the boom of healthy living and fitness comes an appetite for sports nutrition supplements in the UAE. This sector has exploded and the demand for whey proteins, fat burners, BCAA’s pre-workouts and testosterone boosters is insatiable.

In Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates there are many nutrition stores and every few months a new chain joins the collection.

We have a history of supplying own label sports nutrition products to retail and online brands as well as supplying tertiary brands.

Stores and Gyms looking to make extra margin on own-label products can capitalise on our expertise to find extra profit.

Regulation expertise
