Our take
Originally started as a digital marketing firm, Force Factor morphed into a fitness supplements company after the founder noticed that college athletes wanted high quality dietary supplements. Now, Force Factor products are purchased by thousands of people a day.
After securing partnerships with leading retailers such as Walmart, Vitamin Shoppe, CVS and Amazon, Force Factor continues to expand its product range. For example, it launched "Happy Mood" soft chews in collaboration with PLT Health Solutions - a supplement which boasts stress reducing and mood enhancing properties.
As long as Force Factor continues to deliver products that consumers respond to, there's no reason to think it won't continue its success.
