Dymatize Sponsored Athletes

Dymatize is definitely geared for the serious bodybuilder or athlete who wants to gain muscle. The dark, gritty, and steel feel of the website is one that is meant to be intentional.

With Brock Lesnar, one of the company’s Elite Team Dymatize members, punching right at you on the Team Dymatize Nutrition page, you get the sense that Dymatize supplements are meant for the hardcore weight lifting individual.

Brock Lesnar, UFC former world heavyweight champion, is a sponsored elite athlete for Dymatize, along with two others. Andy Haman, IFBB professional bodybuilder and a former USA national freestyle wrestling champion, is another elite Dymatize athlete.

Erin Stern rounds out the Dymatize elite team trio, as the 2010 Figure Olympia Champion. There are also featured Dymatize team members.  These include Wendy Lee Govoni, David Hughes, Tim Martin, Victoria May, Michal Sitter, and Vance Turner.

Dymatize Products

There is a vast array of  Dymatize products; the company lists a total of 87 nutrition and supplement products on their merchandise page.  Dymatize products are divided up into the following categories: nitric oxide, recovery/amino acids, gainer, 6-layer protein bars, high protein oatmeal, energy & weight management, creatine, protein, and specialty products.

 Dymatize has made it easy for consumers to both purchase and have a one stop shop for all of their bodybuilding supplement and nutritional needs. This is a nice feature on their site, because other supplement companies go through a third party to sell their products online.  

All of the products are manufactured in house, which one would believe would lead to less foreign or unidentified substances within Dymatize supplements.  However, some questions have been raised about ingredient disclosure in some of the company’s products.

Dymatize Customer Reviews

While overall, Dymatize gets high marks from most consumers for the majority of its products, we will simply break down the high and lows for more of its more popular supplemental products.

  • Elite Whey
  • ISO-100
  • Glutamine
  • Mega Gainer

Dymatize Products with Negative Feedback

Sometimes Dymatize products received bad or mixed reviews from a number of consumers.  Here’s a short summary of the worst offenders.

  • Elite Casein, a time released protein, was reported as having a bad taste and being hard to mix.
  • BCAA Complex 5050, a recovery product and amino acid supplement, was also rated as hard to mix and having a sour taste.
  • Elite Liquid Protein was said to have a  bad taste.
  • Xpand and Xtreme Pump  apparently caused nausea and diarrhea in a number of consumers. Many people thought Xpand and Xtreme Pump  were not effective, too expensive, and caused them to sweat a lot.

Dymatize Cost Savings

To pass the savings to the consumers, Dymatize has decided to make the investment upfront in their own facilities rather than have a third party manufacturer make their products for them. All Dymatize production equipment, research and development laboratories, and quality control laboratories are located on the company grounds.

Dymatize also has their own laboratory dedicated to developing the flavors of their products. Moreover, all of the company’s supplements that come in a pill form are produced in a licensed pharmaceutical facility and adhere to strict standards of quality control. 

Throughout my research on customer reviews of this company, I found numerous people claiming how affordable the Dymatize products are and how they felt they got good value for their money. Although Dymatize may spread itself a bit too thin by having too many products, it would appear that Dymatize has the correct balance of quality and affordability down to a science.
