Nutrimuscle

Looking for Nutrimuscle supplements in Paris? Herba Barona, our specialist supplement shop in the 12th arrondissement, stocks a selection from Nutrimuscle, a French benchmark in sports nutrition and wellness for more than 25 years. The brand built its reputation on one of the strictest raw-material sourcing policies on the market.

In 2024 the manufacturer split its catalogue in two: Nutrimuscle for sports nutrition, Nutrielement for the health and wellness range. Both belonged to the same French group, same factory, same formulas — only the name on the label changed.

Since 2026 that split is over. The manufacturer closed the Nutrielement shop and reunited every reference under the Nutrimuscle name. That is why you now find sports nutrition and the wellness range — Epax omega 3, magnesium citrate, collagen, crystalline glycine — in a single category here.

What it means for you: depending on the production date of the batch we hold, the tub you receive may carry either the Nutrimuscle logo or the green « Ne » nutrielement logo. It is exactly the same product, from the same factory, with the same composition and the same dosage. Our photos always show the packaging actually on the shelf. If you have any doubt about a specific batch, just ask us in store at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12e.

Not to be confused: Nutrimuscle and Novoma (formerly Nutrivita) are two entirely separate brands, each with its own identity, laboratories and ranges.

We stock a deliberately tight selection from the Nutrimuscle catalogue, in capsules and in powder, chosen to cover what our customers actually ask for: physical effort, recovery, joint comfort, sleep and everyday intake.

Powders

Powder formats let you fine-tune the amount and cost less per gram. We carry L-Citrulline BioKyowa in 90 g and 500 g, beta-alanine 240 g, BCAA 4:1:1 350 g, crystalline glycine in 360 g and 750 g, plus three collagens: type 1 collagen peptides, Collagen Mix and Collagen Repair.

Capsules

Easier to carry and with no scoop to handle, the capsule side covers Epax® omega 3 (120 and 360 capsules), magnesium citrate, the magnesium complex, ZMB pidolate, glycine in 120 capsules, citrulline base, natural caffeine and the Testosterone Booster.

If a Nutrimuscle reference you want is not listed here, tell us in store: we order from this manufacturer regularly and can bring in a product from the catalogue.

What sets Nutrimuscle apart is not a secret formula, it is the fact that they name their suppliers. On a tub of citrulline you read BioKyowa (Kyowa Hakko fermentation process, Japan), not simply « L-citrulline ». On the omega 3 you read Epax®, a Norwegian producer of concentrated, deodorised fish oils. On chelated minerals, Albion Minerals. That information has real value: two powders sharing a chemical name can come from very different processes, with residue levels and stability that have nothing in common.

The manufacturer also publishes certificates of analysis per batch, which remains rare. In practice, the batch number printed on your tub matches a document listing the measured contents and the contaminant checks. It is also why these products are rarely the cheapest on the shelf: that sourcing costs more than buying at market price.

The products we stock are packed in France, in ISO 22000 and HACCP certified facilities, GMO-free and free of artificial colourings, with most powders suitable for a vegetarian diet. The collagens and the omega 3 are naturally an exception, being of animal origin.

Most people who walk into the shop are not after a single product but a routine that holds together. A few Nutrimuscle pairings come up again and again.

Citrulline and beta-alanine are readily taken together before a session: the first a tart-tasting powder, the second known for the brief skin tingling it causes, harmless, and easily limited by splitting the dose. Glycine and magnesium form the most requested evening pair, glycine having the advantage of a pleasant sweet taste in a little water. Collagen and vitamin C go hand in hand: vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation, so taking them at the same time makes sense; we will point you to a vitamin C from another brand in the shop, as Nutrimuscle does not offer one in our selection.

Omega 3 works differently: it is a background intake, taken with a meal containing some fat, over several months, unrelated to training.

These are pointers, not medical advice. If you are on medication, pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor or pharmacist first.

Nutrimuscle sells directly on its own website. The point of coming to us lies elsewhere: you see the tub before paying, compare two formats side by side, check the date and the real size of a scoop, and walk out with it — no shipping cost, no waiting for a parcel. For bulky powders like the 750 g glycine or the 500 g collagen, the difference is far from theoretical.

Then there is the advice. We sell these products every day, so we know which ones taste difficult, which dissolve poorly in cold water, and which duplicate something you already take. That conversation is often what prevents a pointless purchase.

Herba Barona welcomes you at 10 rue Théophile Roussel, Paris 12e (métro Ledru-Rollin or Bastille), Tuesday to Saturday, 9.30am to 6.30pm. In-store collection is available after ordering on the site, and we ship across France and to much of Europe.

My tub carries the Nutrielement logo — is that normal?

Yes. The manufacturer merged its two brands under the Nutrimuscle name in 2026, but batches produced before the change still carry the old green « Ne » logo. Composition, dosage, factory and supplier are identical.

Powder or capsules?

Powder is markedly cheaper per gram and lets you adjust the dose, but it means a scale or a scoop and sometimes a strong taste. Capsules cost more but travel anywhere. For glycine and collagen, where the amounts are large, powder is almost always the rational choice.

Are your collagens type 1 or type 2?

The Nutrimuscle collagen peptides we stock are type 1, of bovine origin. Type 1 is the dominant type in skin, tendons and bone.

Can you order in a reference you do not stock?

In most cases, yes. Come by the shop or write to us: if the product is in the manufacturer’s catalogue, we add it to our next order.
