Associates at nutrition depot have substantially more knowledge about supplements than associates at e.g. vitamin shoppe.

I have been into fitness and supplements to improve my performance and age healthily for two decades. As a result, I have dealt with, and seen, many supplement shops and talked to their employees and owners. No one is as knowledgeable and holistic as Shoayb who owns and runs this shop. Go see him. You have a lot to gain and nothing to lose. read more

FINALLY! A Nutrition Depot store that is NOT a franchise! I signed up for Nutrition Depot's e-mail list and every month I'd get an e-mail for their monthly specials and the two closest stores to me (Westheimer & Bunker Hill) are franchise stores and it's always a hit and miss with them. Sometimes they would honor the special prices and sometimes they won't. I was running low on my protein powder and so it happened that their July 2013 special was Phase 8 protein for $29.99 for a 4.4-lb tub. I went to the store on Westheimer and they said that they'd match the price. However, they were matching the price for the 2.2-lb tub!!! Regular price $34.99 and they were going to sell it to me for $29.99. No way, dude!! That's like double the price, still. I went to this location and they had the specials flyer posted on the window! I didn't even have to ask. They had the protein powder jugs out and ready. No questions asked. And the dude that was helping me was knowledgeable and really helpful (granted, I was the only customer at the store at the time). I don't ask many questions about any of their supplements because I pretty much know what I need and I'm pretty in-the-know about the latest supplements that are out in the market. However, I do ask about popular items, flavors, etc, etc. I was also looking for a new pre-workout supplement and he gave plenty of recommendations. I wasn't sure which one I wanted and I wasn't willing to drop my money on something that I wasn't going to like so I asked for samples. Of course he gave me a sample. Also, when I was paying, I saw a bunch of nutrition depot t-shirts. I just went ahead and asked, "hey, could I get a free t-shirt?" and he just gave it to me. At the time, I spent $60 for two tubs of protein powder. So, if you ask for it, I think they'd just give it to you. I think in the future, I'd just go to this location for their specials. Yes, it's a bit out of the way for me, but I don't have to argue THEIR prices with them. read more

First time customer and I had a great experience, will definitely return. I forgot the name of the gentleman who helped me but he was so helpful. read more

Greta location, always have had a great experience with nutrition depot and this location.

In the middle of an extended business trip, I was missing not only my workouts but my vitamin and supplement routine. I yelped the closest supplement location at my last stop and this location popped up. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Though I did want to buy protein, I knew it wouldn't make sense going back home in a few days. However I still need my vitamins. The staff made some great recommendations on that as well as an immune boosting formula. I felt like the long trip was taking its toll. Wellness formula was suggested and the next day my sore throat disappeared! Thanks for saving me from being sick! Unfortunately, because I don't live here, I probably won't be back until another trip takes me in your direction. Still, I wanted to show thanks for the help! read more

Super friendly staff, amazing selection of quality supplements, nootropics, etc. Highly recommend

I went here after much recommendation from my buddies and I was absolutely blown away! Me and my girls friend came in to look at some pre workouts.There were a lot of options to suit your need. The staff (I didn't get his name) was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and helped me get exactly what we needed and also let us have a couple samples when we checked out. Nutrition Depot also have monthly specials and price match with online prices if you even can find a better deal. We came out happy as a clam and excited for our workout. I highly recommend this place for anyone that is looking for supplements with an amazing customer service experience. read more

This is the best supplement shop I have ever been to. It is always great to stop and pick up any supplements from Nutrition Depot. The group that works here are very informative and knowledgeable. They know each ingredient that goes into every product they sell. I always enjoy learning as much from them as I can as they stay up to date on the newest technology and supplements coming out. Additionally, they will make you feel comfortable and provide a no pressure environment if you are just looking to browse. read more

Finally I found a good supplement shop in Houston. I have bought supplements at Vitamin World & Total Nutrition and Nutrition Depot is by far the best. -They have a great selection and their prices are fair and actually posted, unlike Total Nutrition -The staff is very knowledgeable and we're able to walk me through the different products with confidence and clarity, unlike Vitamin World. I would highly recommend stopping in here before you get mislead and ripped off any where else. Looks like I found my one stop shop for all my nutrition needs! read more

It can sometimes be over whelming when looking for vitamins and supplements. With all the various brands on the market, it can be tough figuring out what to buy. What you will get here at Nutrition Depot is something rare now days and that is pure honesty. Just like what Peter C. mentioned, ask for Byron. He will give you can honest advice on what you buy. Unlike other stores he is not going to automatically suggest the most expensive product. Chances are any product that he recommends he has either taken or is a popular item. If he doesn't have that item, he can always order it for you. Prices are always quite reasonable, typically way cheaper then GNC or Vitamin Shoppe. There have been a couple times where I could have purchased something online but I choose to buy from him anyways. If you are looking for a vitamin or supplement, I highly recommend coming here. Course if you are bored, you could always just stop by and have a conversation with him. He just that friendly. read more

Since I am pretty much a supplement whore, and usually was an order online type of girl.. This was just the place I have been looking for! I will never go to another nutrition store, ever. I make time to get over to this location and see Byron. Its hands down the best store in Houston! Great selection of relevant fitness and nutrition products. He also carries a great selection of vitamins. Ladies, do NOT be intimidated to go into this store! Byron will totally give you advice in a non-intimidating fashion, but he will also leave you alone if you know what you are looking for. Great pricing too! I just cant say enough good things about this store. read more

My favorite place to shop supplements! Shoayb and his team know their products. I love that I can come in and get essential oils, my vitamins, and protein! I always leave having learned something new and shared a few laughs with the staff. read more

Great customer service and the owner and stuff is very knowledgeable. I came in with several questions and I left feeling very informed. This will be my new go to nutrition shop. Highly recommended. read more

This place is the bomb dot com. If you are like me and currently obsessed with Quest protein bars (the best protein bar ever made, for serious), this is the place to be. The owner, Byron, is super friendly and helpful. Quest bars are $2.50 each here, but if you buy them by the box (of 12), they're $2 each and you can mix and match as you please. Awesome deal, and they're always in stock of all the popular flavors. I haven't tried other offerings here but I'm sure that if you had any questions/concerns, let Byron know and he'll take care of you ASAP. read more

One time they told me product A mixes well with product B. Another guy who worked there told me that it's very stupid to mix product A with product B. It's really obvious that the two don't mix to some.. because one was designed for weight loss and one for weight gain... but of course there are complicated factors to consider. The main point: They both gave opposite advice. They both pretended to be completely confident. I've made maybe 30 purchases from Nutrition Depot in my life, and I usually just buy a lot of stuff that I research on my own. But every time I go I am curious as to what's new on the market, if there are any recommendations. I feel like I'm paying $100 for a nice bulk amount of vitamins and healthy stuff, but I also get a nice little lesson at the same time. I know that I've asked hundreds of questions.. and I've never once received an "I don't know" or "Let me look into that...". They always know. And someone was wrong at least once. And I read a lot of stuff on my own. Sometimes they offer their own opinions that conflict with opinions that I read. But I think it's ok for them to say "Some say this, I believe this.. but there is a debate". Unfortunately I always get: "The answer is (my answer)". Oh by the way, one time they kind of annoyed be by offering me a free t-shirt because I purchased $100, but the same guy obviously forgot that he gave a free t-shirt to the guy who was there before me who bought like a protein bar, and more importantly that the same guy gave me the same free t-shirt like 2 days before when buying something for like $20. I hate it when I walk into a store, prepared to dump money there, but then the salesman has to do things like that so they can brag to their friends about their ability to sell a ketchup popsicle to a woman wearing white gloves. The sale was already made when I left my car. If you want to give me something for free, give it to me for free. Don't make up stuff. Some good points: I know for the most part a lot of their advice is good. And they pretty much have a fundamental understanding of the stuff they sell. I can also tell that management emphasizes education about products. One of the strongest things about this place: Their owner or manager.. he is really legit. And I think for the most part he trains his staff pretty well. Maybe he's just a really smooth salesman but for the most part he's a straight shooter and he will call it the way he sees it. He's smart enough to know that customers value honesty over being a know it all. He seems like the type that will say "I don't really know for sure" when he really might have a decent hypothesis. That's honorable. But from my experience in the weight lifting/nutrition pseudoscience world, most people think they know everything, and they are like basically the greatest scientists in the world who aren't polluted by the false information everyone else gets. For the most part, vitamin science, supplements etc. is not "solved" and definitely not black and white as these poser wannabe know it alls claim it is. Life would be better if more people just admitted they don't know something. read more

I'm so glad I came across this particular Nutrition Depot! Some time ago I made a phone call looking for particular protein shake and Byron the owner, which is always there was very helpful. He knows his stuff and narrowed down my choice to exactly what I needed. What I like about this store is that your always dealing with the owner that really cares about what you need. Very friendly, affordable and always match pricing from any other location! I've gone to many other supplement stores and not one as of lately can I say that I have found another place like this place! I make a phone call to make sure whatever I need is in stock and when I get there my items are waiting bagged up and ready to go! A plus service! Highly recommended! If your item is not there within a day or two it will be there! Best prices in town! read more

This place is awesome. I'm a frequent shopper here and they carry more supplements and protein brands than most other places at better prices. Top notch service from the employees here too. No high pressure sales environment like GNC where they ask you every 5 seconds what they can help you with. The guys offer great advice if you're not sure, but other than that, they let you shop in peace which I prefer as an educated consumer. read more

GreAt place and greater prices. The only nutrition store that gets my money! Employees nice and knowledgeable and always willing to help

Great supplement shop. I go in about once every two weeks for various supplement - protein, multis, BCAA, etc. The have a good selection of pretty much everything. The owner and employees are all very nice and laid back. They will answer questions when you have them but don't pester or try hard sells when you want to look around. The prices always seem to be about on par or a little less than most other places. They've even offered to price match anyone that was lower. read more

Love this place! Just when I thought I wouldn't find anywhere like good old Supplement Central back home.. I found Nutrition Depot a few miles from my apartment. Say no to big chain stores! A little place like this is where it's at, as far as price and knowledge. One tip- it's a tiny storefront, but they can order anything you need. Might want to call ahead. Thanks Byron! read more

Nutrition Depot is my favorite spot in Houston for supplements. First off the staff is always willing to answer your question, that is very important to me because there always seems to be new things coming out and old things being retired. The staff is very knowledgeable and they don't put the hard sell on you. They are also willing to help you out by giving you samples of things to try if you are skeptical about the product. I always go here first to try new products, and did great prices. They remember me, ask me about the previous purchase and if I liked it and help me to get something that I will if I had any issue. 100% recommended for great customer service. read more

I absolutely LOVE this place! I get several boxes of Quest protein bars here and Biron always gives me awesome pricing when buying bulk. If you ever need a supplement that you are not sure if they carry, just call, and usually they find it for you in no time and have it shipped to their location. The best part is that they price match to popular sellers online!! Overall highest quality inventory and customer service. My fiancé and I will remain loyal customers for life! -Paula & Dustin read more

I called to see if Nutrition Depot carried HMB at their location. I wanted to go to nutrition depot because it's closer to me than the Vitamin Shoppe luckily they did have the product. I went there and got the HMB and the plus is it was a much cheaper price than it is at Vitamin Shoppe. The person that helped me on the phone was Byron and I also saw him in the the store he was very helpful, he gave me the information as far as when to take the supplement and about how much to take I am beyond impressed by his knowledge not only of the products in the store but of the knowledge of the actual product itself. My experience was awesome and I am glad Byron was their to help. Thanks Byron! read more

Knowledgeable and friendly staff who is eager to help you find whatever you are looking for, or what you don't know you're looking for in some cases. Reward point system for purchases to receive free items such as protein blenders, shirts, or discounts on future purchases. They offer discounts when you buy in bulk for instance an entire box of protein bars or a case of their drink assortments. You can mix and match the bulk orders too so you don't get stuck with just one flavor. They stand by their products and recommendations but if you don't like the product you can return within 3 days, as long as most of it has not been consumed. Plenty of parking. Definitely my go to place for fitness and health product information at competitive prices. read more

Went in looking for egg protein found it. The guy at the front was pretty cool and helped me out and took a mi yet to talk to me and connect. He's pretty cool guy and good looking. I'm for sure coming coming back to buy more supps when I run out. read more

No matter how hard you train, you're bound to hit a plateau, sooner or later. It's annoying because you're doing everything right but not seeing the gains like you had before. Well, this happened to me a week ago. I was doing an hour of cardio, adding higher weights and then it just stopped. My bench actually went down by 10lbs! I was feeling lethargic at the gym and wasn't getting the same pump I used to get. So, I figured I needed a supplement or booster get me to the next level. Last night was the third time I've stopped in this store to get supplements. All three times have been really good. This store is light years ahead of national chain stores like GNC because the sales reps are familiar with the products. Plus, nobody tries to push a stupid "Gold Card" on you! I dealt with Kyle in the past but last night I got to meet the actual owner, Byron. It was five minutes past closing and he still let me in. He's a very social guy who seems like he's been in the fitness industry for a while. I got the vibe that he used to be a personal trainer (not sure, just a hunch). I told him my problem and he gave me some really good advice. Basically, he said I was overtraining, not sleeping enough, and not spacing out my heavy lifting days. It made sense and he suggested an alternate routine to try. All this happened before he sold me anything. I ended up buying some GAT Pre-Workout Formula to give me a boost of energy and focus + AllFlex Joint Juice for days when I do heavy cardio on the treadmill. He threw in a couple samples of Amino as well. I tried out the GAT yesterday night and definitely felt the difference. It took 20 minutes for it to kick in but when it did, I felt a huge surge in energy. read more

This store was recommended to me by my trainer. I'm so glad I came here. I was immediately greeted once I walked in. I don't know much about protein shakes and bars but the staff was patient, answered all my questions and made sure I got exactly what I was looking for. They were even running a deal for the protein shake I purchased, you got a free jar of coconut oil and a blender bottle (I love freebies). I'll be returning for all my nutrition supplement needs. The customer service alone made this experience worth a return visit. read more

Great customer service and the owner is very knowledgeable. I came in with several questions and I left feeling very informed. All of the staff are very helpful plus you can get a medical center discount. This will be my new go to nutrition shop read more

I can't say enough about this place. The dude and I always come here to get our protein needs. These guys are always helpful and know their stuff. If you ask, they're willing to let you test out some of the stuff they carry. Personally, we LOVE the Syntrax brand Nectar. They mix easy with whatever you can throw in there and even just by itself, the stuff doesn't have that chalky taste like most of the other protein powders we tried. Overall, this is my go-to place and it's also locally owned. read more

This will be my supplement spot from here on out. Owner was beyond helpful and greeted me immediately when I walked in. He even gave me a great deal on some things leftover from a sale when he could've drove the price up. read more

Best supplement store in houston, hands down. The owner Byron is very helpful and knowledgeable. If you have questions ask Byron or his employees and they will get you the supplements you need. read more

I started shopping here because my apartment complex got a flier from them. I had just moved to Houston and was looking for something better than a GNC or Vitamin Shoppe and Nutrition Depot on Holcomb is it! They always have the supps I use in stock, and the associates and manager there are very knowledgeable and helpful. read more

I am pretty impulsive buyer when it comes to supplements. I go in wanting whey and come out of most nutrition stores with a whey, preworkout and hundreds of postworkout supplements. Unlike nutrition stores that sell you things you don't need by commission driven employees, this store has employees and an owner that actually give you good advice and help impulsive buyers like ... control the craving. I went in wanting a laundry list of supplements (thinking that I needed all of them) but was able to come out with one that would help me during my workouts. If you live around the Kirby/medical center area - hands down best supplement store! read more

Great location and the employees are extremely knowledgeable about their products. Ask for Shoayb, he was able to help me figure out what I needed instead of just push unwanted products on me. He listened to my questions and concerns and made some great recommendations. Fantastic customer service! read more

I truly appreciate how friendly and knowledgeable everyone is in this store. I literally travel from downtown, passing my previously frequented supplement store to come to Nutrition Depot. The prices are the best in town! read more

Staff was very helpful. The owner is very nice, and very knowledgeable. Not just trying to make sales and push products on me. Will be my new shop for vitamins for sure. Thanks guys read more

The experience at this nutrition depot was second to none, Byron who owns and operates the spot is friendly and extremely helpful. His knowledge of the products he carries is extensive and quickly he directed us to the items we needed, educated us on the products, and even did his best on the price. I'd recommend this nutrition store to anyone from the fitness-freaks who live the gym lifestyle, to a family looking to find a nutrition solution for a loved one dealing complications from chemotherapy. This spots 100!! read more

Never been to this location before. Byron was super helpful, instead of pushing a random product onto me for a sale, he gave me some samples instead and invited me back to purchase those in the case that I liked them. 10/10, will come here again. read more
