Our verdict on each
Legion
Legion suits lifters and everyday athletes who want protein, creatine and pre-workout from one seller rather than a single tub from several. It scores 8.8 overall, and the offer score of 9.3 comes from a subscription saving of 15% to 30%.
Nuun
Nuun suits readers who want electrolyte tablets bought as they need them, with an entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport and $0.75 a serving. Vitamins-and-multivitamins rivals that bundle a monthly plan charge on delivery rather than letting you stop, so Nuun fits anyone who buys by the box.

Pros and cons
Legion
Pros
- Range spans whey protein, plant protein and creatine, covering protein, creatine, pre-workout, electrolytes, meal replacement and bars.
- Whey protein powder delivers 22 g of protein per serving and is third-party tested.
- Subscription orders knock 15% to 30% off, backing an offer score of 9.3.
Cons
- Protein per serving sits at 22 g, below the site median of 24 and the protein powder median of 24.
- Entry price of $48.99 puts Legion at position 49 of 66 brands ranked on price from.
- GMP is the only certification listed under gmp, and third-party testing covers the whey protein powder alone.
Nuun
Pros
- Entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport puts the brand at position 11 of the 157 brands tracked on price from.
- A serving of Nuun Sport costs $0.75, which lands at position 42 of the 121 brands compared on cost per serving.
- Every product is third-party tested, against 84.5% of brands in the vitamins-and-multivitamins category that report the same.
Cons
- Where it runs is narrow: the range is built for US and CA, so readers in the UK are better served by DocMorris, which covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Protein per serving sits at 0 g, well under the 24 median across the brands compared, so anyone buying this alongside a pre-workout still needs a separate protein source.
- The range is built on electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals rather than on vitamins alone, and TestRX stays closer to vitamins minerals for readers shopping purely for a daily vitamin.
Who each suits
Legion
Who it suits
- Lifters and gym-goers buying whey or plant protein alongside creatine and pre-workout in one order
- Shoppers who order on a regular cycle and can catch 15% to 30% off each repeat
- Vegetarian and gluten-free buyers, since the protein range covers vegetarian and gluten free
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want one product and nothing else, since HUM Nutrition keeps to plant protein and creatine
- Shoppers who need a mass gainer alongside protein, which Body Attack adds to its range of whey protein, plant protein and creatine
- Buyers who want performance products from a general supplement seller, since Myvitamins covers whey protein, creatine and electrolytes
Nuun
Who it suits
- Readers after electrolyte tablets rather than capsules, since the range covers electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals.
- Anyone in the markets Nuun serves, listed as US and CA.
- Shoppers on restricted diets, given the range is labelled for vegan, gluten free and kosher.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers in the UK, who should look at DocMorris and its own range of multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Anyone shopping only for a daily vitamin, since ProSolution Plus sells vitamins minerals and TestRX vitamins minerals alone.
