Find the best bodybuilding supplement samples for residents of the US, UK, Canada, and Australia!

(If you would like to freely promote a supplement giveaway like the one detailed below, please don’t hesitate in contacting me!)

BG Laboratories is a relatively new supplement company based in Atlanta, Georgia that recently came out with their first product, a unique high-quality creatine supplement. Called Centurion, it contains a combination of pharmaceutical-grade ingredients such as creatine ethyl ester and beta-alanine, sans fillers. It is an easily absorbed creatine that doesn’t lead to excess bloating, and can be used as both a pre-workout and a recovery supp’.

To promote their new supplement, suppsamples.com will be running an exclusive giveaway! This giveaway is open to all residents of the United States until April 22nd, 2012. Winners will receive a free 1-week trial pack of Centurion. Winners will be chosen at random, and odds depend on the number of participants.

To be one of the four winners of a generous sample of Centurion, please follow the instructions below:

1. Fan BG Labs on Facebook to hear about new promotions:

2. Follow BG Labs on Twitter for updates on future products: Follow @thebglabs

3. Include your contact information below (your information will never be shared):

It’s been a while since we’ve highlighted a recent contest or promotion. However, I think it’s safe to say that we’ve been inadvertently holding out for something awesome, and this giveaway by MAN Sports fits the bill! A quick summary: you can win full-sized bottles of supplements and t-shirts on top of very generous samples!

To promote their pre-workout “Body Octane“, MAN Sports continues their strong string of promotions by giving away a free 5-day sample of Body Octane to anyone interested (a product which currently maintains a 9.1 rating on Bodybuilding.com)! This is a deal far beyond almost anything another nutritional company would run. To enter the MAN Sports “Pump Giveaway” and secure your free supplement samples, simply do the following;

• Email arthur@mansports.com
• Have the title be “BB Pump Giveaway”
• Include your name and address in the body of the email

But the promotion doesn’t stop there! On top of supplement samples, every 5th person who requests free samples will win either an entire bottle of Body Octane (30 serving!) or a MAN Sports-branded shirt! Go even farther and post a review/rate on Bodybuilding.com with your thoughts about Body Octane and you’ll be entered to win even more prizes ranging from full-sized tubs to a slew of supplements and a branded t-shirt.

February 10th marks the deadline to request free samples while you can enter in the supplement review promo until March 10th. For more details, see the accompanying Bodybuilding.com thread.

Eventually, whatever free supplement samples you can find (not considering the swag given at conventions like Mr. Olympia) will run out. At this time, buying from brick-and-mortar stores or shopping around online will likely be your only option. Ignoring offline shops for the time being, the sheer number of retailers online selling the same exact supplement is dizzying by itself. You have a nutritional company’s’ own site (normally too expensive), shady third-party retailers (with suspiciously low pricing and a questionable website), and then you have Bodybuilding.com.

Well known as the largest online retailer of bodybuilding supplements, Bodybuilding.com is not only a great resource for laid-back health articles¹, an extremely active fitness forum, and workout and diet plans, but especially for their main attraction; the online store. Filled with over 12,000 products and having shipped out over 10,000,000 orders, Bodybuilding.com must know a little something about customer service – including, but not limited to, the fact that they know people love free supplement samples.

With just a $0.25 minimum for free supplements – basically any sort of supplement offered at Bodybuilding.com -, you can choose from a selection of more than 10 various gifts (with a limit of 2 per order). Samples include free protein bars, free fish oil pills, free protein powder, and even a free copy of Kris Gethin’s book, Body By Design.

It’s refreshing to see a simple free supplement giveaway being promoted by a reputable supplement company. Thankfully, Neogenix’s newest giveaway of their pre-workout CryoShock fit both of those bills:

To try your hand at receiving a free 2 serving sample pack of Neogenix’s CryoShock pre-workout supplement, you only have to follow one step. Check the Neogenix Facebook page and, after a new post appears on their Facebook page, be the first to post in their Bodybuilding.com Giveaway thread. There will be two new posts on the Neogenix Facebook page per day, so you have two chances daily to score free supplements. The contest will run from November 15th – November 24th (10 days), and winners can expect to have their supplement samples shipped before December 1st. The contest is only open to bodybuilders 18+ years old residing in the United States.

(Another quick highlight of a giveaway while I finish up a few larger articles.)

Suppz.com recently announced a new contest of theirs, giving away one free tub of Nutrex’s Hemo-Rage Black Ultra Concentrate (pre-workout “Detonator”). However, it’s not so much to promote their own supplement store as it is meant to promote Suppz.com’s partnership with the “Wounded Warrior Project” – an organization with the purpose of helping injured service men and women of the US Armed Forces.

To join in on the celebration and win free supplements, you’ll have to do just one thing:

1. Enter on Suppz.com’s Facebook Fanpage: (http://www.facebook.com/suppzcom/posts/182363715169575) by commenting with the name of your favorite nutritional supplement. It’s as simple as that!

The contest is open to anyone, though residents outside the US will have to pay for shipping if they’re lucky enough to win. The winner of the free Hemo-Rage tub will be chosen randomly and announced on September 4, 2011.

The fine people over at FishStrong.com have recently partnered with Supreme Protein to give away six (6!) full boxes of their “Carb Conscious” protein bars (some of highest rated protein bars throughout the market). You need follow only a few quick steps to be entered:

1. Either follow FishStrong on Twitter or become a fan of FishStrong on Facebook.

2. Either Like or Tweet the main contest page: http://fishstrong.com/supreme-protein-bar-contest/

3. Comment on the Supreme Protein bars contest page explaining why you entered – how winning will help your fishing, why you need them, or how you will benefit from winning free protein bars.

And that’s all! The contest ends on August 31st, 2011, and winners will be notified through the email address they used in their comment.

While only a few companies really stick out for their superb customer service, many more maintain Twitter accounts to communicate with customers. Along with this, some companies ever hold (semi-)regular giveaways of supplements, stickers, coupon codes, and more! Try following some of these companies (along with suppsamples.com) in order to score even more free supplements!

@GNCLiveWell — (81k+ followers)
While GNC is known for running their large, month-long contests for a vacation package or $5,000, they often run smaller giveaways. The frequent trivia quizzes and more are sadly exclusive to US residents, but they also have more than 72k followers.

@Team_Optimum — (11k+ followers)
After a great giveaway to start their 25th anniversary celebration (giving away sample packs to those who posted a picture online), Team Optimum continues to give away generous prizes consisting of things such as samples of their various protein powders (Hydrowhey, Gold Standard) and amino acid supplements (Amino Chewables).

@TeamGaspari — (24k+ followers)
Another one of the largest sports nutrition companies, Gaspari Nutrition’s Twitter feed is often buzzing with retweets and conversations with their dedicated users. However, they’ll also include a few retweeting contests and trivia questions (both normally with 3 winners) for prizes per week.

@Bodybuildingcom — (51k+ followers)
The largest online retailer of bodybuilding supplements, it should come as no surprise that Bodybuilding.com can afford to run a giveaway or two. Most promotions for a specific product last for 1-2 weeks (such as MHP’s Power Pak pudding), and are often trivia questions related to the product. Recently, they’ve gone off around 4PM EST.

@TeamProSource — (3k+ followers)
While most tweets are about their daily deals site (instead, use http://www.supplementreviews.com/daily-deals.php to see an aggregated list of supp deals), ProSource also occasionally runs giveaways for their Facebook fans and Twitter followers. For more info, check out their blog post “We’ll Hook You Up“

Supplement samples will often include little more than a single serving of a protein powder or pre-workout supplement – save for some generic literature about the nutritional company or a special coupon code. What about developing loyal customers to a company by offering samples of nearly their entire product line? AI Sports Nutrition apparently hopes to continue doing pretty much just that by offering a wide range of product samples tailored to the serious bodybuilders.

Just recently “revamped” for US and Canadian residents over 18, the AI Sports Nutrition samples thread on Bodybuilding.com offers a total of 8 sample packets of various free supplements – a good portion of their product line – to anyone interested. 3Z (“sleep enhancer”), RecoverPRO (BCAAs) in 2 flavors, MANIAC (pre-workout) in 2 flavors, Perform (sexual enhancer), Motivate (energy pill), and HGHpro (HGH booster and/or “sleep enhancer”) samples are all offered. The only requirements are as follows:

• Post in the thread linked to above (An “added incentive” if you haven’t yet joined the BB.com community)
• Private message AI Representative UNCnate (including your shipping information and name)

Samples should be received within a week or two!
