If you walk into The Vitamin Shoppe<\/a> in search of a protein bar or a women\u2019s multivitamin, you\u2019ll be greeted with more options than you can count. How do you decide which are the right choices for your needs? To help customers navigate a crowded marketplace, The Vitamin Shoppe has debuted \u201cThe Suppies<\/a>,\u201d its first annual supplement awards that establish a new benchmark for recognizing excellence in the industry. It spotlights trusted brands and products that are not only trending, but also innovating and delivering results. <\/p>\n

As an official media partner, Women\u2019s Health played a key role in The Suppies, with editors judging and selecting winners across popular categories. Additional winners were selected by The Vitamin Shoppe\u2019s buyers, plus more than 1,000 retail associates from stores across the country. Noteworthy players, including our editors, brand founders and CEOS, and top creators like Lean Beef Patty, came together to celebrate the honorees recently in New York City. <\/p>\n

Below, learn more about seven winning products to consider adding to your supplement stack:<\/p>\n

Best Viral Product<\/p>\n

Clean Simple Eats Pink Burst Clear Protein Powder<\/p>\n

\"Pink<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not often (maybe never?) that a protein powder goes viral, but Clean Simple Eats has done it with its Pink Burst Clear Protein. Enthusiasts on social media have offered breathless reviews, comparing the taste to taffy candy, and our editors agree: \u201cThis translucent, fruity-flavored drink is pure wizardry.\u201d <\/p>\n

Best Protein Bar<\/p>\n

David Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk<\/p>\n

\"Peanut<\/a><\/p>\n

David bars have 28 grams of protein each, but only 150 calories and zero grams of sugar. Another bonus: dreamy flavors that aren’t overly sweet. The peanut butter chocolate chunk is a true standout according to our editors, who say, \u201cDavid has truly reset the bar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Best Wellness Essential<\/p>\n

Vthrive The Vitamin Shoppe Bioactive Multis<\/p>\n

\"Bioactive<\/a><\/p>\n

Even with a healthy diet, nutritional gaps can happen, and they can affect everything from immune function to energy levels to mood regulation. Addressing this is what nabbed this collection of multivitamins an honor. \u201cThey contain all the nutrients you need to close nutrition gaps, with each formula tailored to who you are\u2014and where you are\u2014in life,\u201d say the Women\u2019s Health editors.<\/p>\n

Best for Healthspan<\/p>\n

Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega<\/p>\n

\"Ultimate<\/a><\/p>\n

The concept of healthspan focuses on quality of life optimized by habits like nutrition, solid sleep, and regular exercise. Omega-3 fatty acids can be a key part of that effort, since they\u2019ve been linked to heart, brain, and immune health. Nordic Naturals won the Suppie this year for its Ultimate Omega line, available in liquid, soft gels, and gummies. \u201cThey\u2019re powerfully popular for good reason,\u201d the Women\u2019s Health editors note. \u201cThey\u2019re made from 100 percent fish, deliver a strong dose of omega-3s, and finish with a bright lemon taste.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lean Beef Patty<\/p>\n

Best Brand Ambassador<\/p>\n

Lean Beef Patty for Gorilla Mind<\/p>\n

\"Lean<\/a><\/p>\n

In addition to highlighting specific products and brands, The Suppies also recognized the work of the industry\u2019s most dynamic brand ambassadors. Lean Beef Patty<\/a>, as the influencer is known online, shares workouts, fitness tips, and her favorite pre-workout products\u2014like Patty\u2019s Iced Tea<\/a>, her collab with Gorilla Mind\u2014with her over eight million followers. \u201cShe\u2019s mobility-minded, motivational to her rock-solid six-pack core, and brings the funny every time,\u201d say the Women\u2019s Health editors.<\/p>\n

Most Chill<\/p>\n

Nutri Triple Magnesium + L-Theanine<\/p>\n

\"Triple<\/a><\/p>\n

Feeling frazzled doesn\u2019t have to be the new normal. Magnesium and L-theanine have each been shown to soothe the nervous system. This supplement contains both, including three forms of magnesium\u2014bisglycinate, malate, and taurinate\u2014for higher bioavailability. \u201cThe one-two combo of magnesium and L-theanine eases stress and help you sleep,\u201d say the Women\u2019s Health editors.<\/p>\n
