Less than a year ago, the brand was launched exclusively at Kroger stores. trusource's senior brand manager Nabil Wanna said: "We have received a terrific response to trusource and that is fueling our nationwide retail expansion. Consumers praise the taste and overall experience of trusource products and repeat purchase is strong.

"We created trusource to address an unmet need in the sports nutrition market. This is a brand for the everyday athlete, with easy-to-mix protein powders and delicious ready-to-drink products for anyone with a fitness goal."
