GNC Launches Nature-inspired Earth Genius Product Line
PITTSBURGH, Sept. 27, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GNC Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: GNC), a leading specialty health, wellness, and performance retailer, today announced the nationwide launch of Earth Genius, a new line of more than 40 nature-inspired products.
The entire line of Earth Genius products is gluten-free, non-GMO, and crafted with no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners. Additionally, many products meet the needs of customers with diets that are vegan or have no soy, no added sugar, or no dairy.
“Earth Genius helps meet the demands of a broadened customer base, particularly those looking to live a healthier, cleaner lifestyle,” said Ken Martindale, Chairman and CEO of GNC. “The market for more natural health supplements continues to grow rapidly – expected to hit $68 billion by 2024 according to Persistence Market Research – and we believe strongly this can be an area of opportunity for the business.”
The Earth Genius line offers solutions spanning multiple categories, including energy, digestive health, immune support, metabolism, beauty, relaxation and exercise performance. Products range from vitamins and minerals, to superfoods, greens, plant-based proteins, and oils and vinegars.
Among the key products that are being introduced are:
- SuperFoods Supreme: A blend of 35 different superfood ingredients that includes six different organic mushrooms, along with protein, prebiotic, and enzyme support.
- Smart Greens: A way to infuse more than 40 fruits, vegetables, greens, mushrooms and botanicals into a daily diet in a convenient way.

Further innovation in Earth Genius is found in several new detoxes and TonIQ products, which also helps reach consumers looking for different healthy living solutions.
