GNC

I work nearby and walk to the mall at lunch and always cruise by this spot for some chewy vitamins. I like the Glutamine best. They never say a thing about me being a regular or taking vitamins, etc. They are always friendly and offering advice.
About today: I met Justin (Hope that was his name… it was hard to see). Big dude. Knew his stuff. Knew science too. Probably the smartest guy I have spoke with at GNC. He was really helpful and immediately created a good environment for questions, feedback, etc.
My suggestion: Come to this store if you want good service. They don’t have the same products as all GNC locations, but that is really common. So call ahead to see if they have what you want.

I mean, you get everything you need.
But the management here is not so great. When I came in grabbing all the quest bars (Limited edition Pumpkin spice!), the employee kept staring at me like I was crazy.
Within 5 minutes I grabbed my bars and headed to the cashier’s. Cashier was cool, but kept looking past me… like he was looking for someone else when helloooooooo– sir, I’m the one with the credit card here!
Anyhow, great place to get your supplements. But be wary of their customer service.

Excellent customer service each time I visited this location to purchase my protein bars. They always have great recommendations and it shows how much they know about the products they have in the store. I also bought supplements here that promote healthy bones and joints. So far so good

Worst place ever! Wasted me 2 hours! I was to return an item. The first time I went there, the clerk said he couldn’t return that for me, because he didn’t have the permission. Only store manager has it, but he is on vacation! The second time when I went there, the clerk said it’s over 30 days. But it’s not my problem that it went over the 30 days limit. It’s because the manager was on vacation! Btw, the receipt never shows I need a store manager to return an item! Also, the clerk was so rude and used racial discrimination words!!!

Ulices was his name. Did a great job in finding a product to my needs. Told him what I needed and turned into me purchasing a great bundle pack !

Health-​kick fans unite! Yes, getting healthy is getting in the way of my decadent foodie-​restaurant review, but what good is eating for pleasure if you don’t look fantastic doing it? So, GNC for my vitamin hunt it was. B-​12 complex? Check! Zinc supplement? CHECK! Biotin for shiny healthy hair and nails? CHECK! CHECK! I stopped off at this local GNC while down in La Jolla at a medical physicians’ conference. The staff was helpful. My MD friend/​companion was impressed at the selection. It was a productive visit. However, they were missing MCT Oil, a necessary ingredient for my Bullet Proof Coffee concoction. (See
for details if you are a health nut). So, I cannot give them a 5^th star. Come on people! MCT oil for brain function. :)

This location has a larger selection than some of the other GNC locations I’ve frequented… a good thing but with all the choices I could spend a lifetime in this store!
The sales persons at this location are a bit too in your face at first yet when you ask them regarding a certain product, they seem lost in answering… at least then they leave you alone to do your own shopping!
If you become a Gold Card member, the first week of every month you receive an additional 20% off your purchase… in addition to the great sales they usually have.
Latest supplement favorites:
*GNC wellBEing supplement packs for women
*GNC Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60 protein mix (cookies & cream and chocolate mixed together are delicious)
And cannot forget the Bobble portable filtering water bottle.

I don’t plan most of my meals in advance and in some instances I don’t feel very creative when it’s time for another meal or snack. Real food is best but sometimes in lieu of it, I shake up protein powder for a meal replacement. I also like the convenience of caffeine drinks.
When I don’t have either of these on hand, I know they are in stock at GNC. GNC isn’t the cheapest avenue when you need vitamins and nutritional supplements but they have had everything I’ve looked for in the past. To save a little money, they always have sale items and the Gold Card program. You save 20% on the first purchase and during the first week of each month as a Gold Card holder. It’s $ 15 to join by the way. I rarely shop GNC so I decided to fore go the incentive program.

I was at UTC a few weeks ago and passed by the little GNC store thinking maybe I’ll go in and try some vitamins and stuff. An hour and half later I came out with a Detox Kit, 30 day supply of BeFit vitamins, 2 big jugs of Lean Shakes, 2 blender bottles, and a stainless steel water bottle (which I got for free!). The staff was very helpful and helped me find what I was looking for. I also joined their membership and got 20% off my entire purchase. There was also a lot of sales going on.
Overall, I thought that the service was excellent and they were well stocked with supplies.
