Hello, I am currently a student of the University of Southern California in the Marshall School of Business. I am aware of the success of your company in the supplement industry and I am trying to find out more about your specific industry. I am creating a Value Chain Analysis for the Entrepreneurship program and I am looking to find information on how protein powders are created. This would be a step-by-step process of figuring out what goes in to the product and the costs. The final step would be your methods of distribution. I would really appreciate your time in helping me find some insight into your business. Please contact me

I would be glad to help you. Of course somethings remain proprietary that I cannot share with you. But I will help you with what I can. Please communicate through the message board

Alex if you don't mind, with specifics could you describe the process to which protein powders are made. What specific machines do they use? What kind of factories and how large are they produced in? Are most protein powders made at the same factory?

What sets certain proteins apart from one another? How are those ingredients brought into the mix?

All of these questions are pertinent to developing how the protein powder industry develops a certain value to a customer. This is the question I am trying to answer with your help.

Pertinent information would be specific names, process times, and a rough estimate of the costs that go into it ( I understand that this info is proprietary, but if you could give me a rough estimate across all companies I would really appreciate it. All it needs to be is a ball park, not your personal specific numbers)

Please get back to me as soon as you can.
