it’s target market for the products sold here are probably males between the ages of 16 and 30 or so with the occassional, but unprofitable exception.
You may be correct. I’m sure there are a lot less lifters over 35 than in the 16-30 range.
However, the over 35 lifter may need suppliments MORE than younger lifters for many reasons - including declining testosterone, slowed recovery time and joint injuries. Also, the average 35+ lifter may have more disposable income to spend on suppliments than younger lifters.
Before finding this site, I used no Biotest products. After finding this site (specifically the Over 35 Lifter forum), I give most of suppliment business to Biotest.
I don’t continue to buy their products because of the site - I continue to buy them because they are quality products. However, the Over 35 forum does make me appreciate Biotest all the more. [/quote]
older people might need supps more, but that doesn’t stop younger lifters from wanting them. maybe things are different now than when you were younger, but 5 years ago while i was still in highschool, athletes, lifters etc spent tons of money on protien, creatine, andro which was legal at the time and on the wrestling team, diet pills.
i never went without protien powder myself.
needs and wants are great, but money spent is what affects the bottom line.
