The brief
The brand in a paragraph.
BSN was founded in 1995 in the United States. The company manufactures sports nutrition products. Nitrix, their nitric oxide booster, became their breakthrough product in the early 2000s. Today BSN ranks second globally in Supplements & Nutrition across 21,133 tracked brands. They build formulas for muscle growth, performance, and recovery. Their products reach athletes and bodybuilders worldwide. BSN remains owned by Glanbia, an Irish nutrition conglomerate that acquired them years ago. The brand competes directly with Optimum Nutrition and MuscleTech in mass market retail.
