DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Oct. 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Less than a year after launching its brand exclusively at Kroger stores, sports nutrition brand trusource™ is expanding its retail presence to Target, Walgreens, Giant Eagle and HEB.

“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,” said trusource™ Senior Brand Manager, Nabil Wanna. “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.”
