What Bodylab does

Bodylab ApS is a Danish sports nutrition and fitness-lifestyle brand founded in 2003 and headquartered in Hadsund, Denmark, with a secondary office in Copenhagen. The company operates as a subsidiary of Jordanes (via The Feelgood Company / Scandza, acquired in summer 2018), with approximately 60 full-time employees.

Bodylab retails a broad portfolio of protein supplements, sports nutrition, functional foods, and fitness accessories to both amateur gym-goers and professional athletes across the Nordic region. Core SKUs center on whey, clear whey, vegan, and casein protein powders, complemented by creatine, EAA/BCAA, pre-workout, weight gainer, carbohydrates, electrolytes, energy gels, caffeine, collagen, vitamins/minerals, and fish oil. Differentiated formats include Clear Whey (80% protein, sugar-free, fat-free, 0.2% lactose), the Pro Series featuring BLG protein powder, and the Sports Nutrition Reimagined line repackaging pre-workout, electrolytes, and creatine into precisely dosed gummies, sticks, and tabs. The category also extends into apparel, shakers, home-training equipment, occlusion bands, and bags. A team of elite-athlete ambassadors (Jeanette Ottesen, Jack Hermansson, Leon Kofoed, Nicolas Dalby, Line Gude, Klaus Uggerh\u00f8j) supports brand credibility, alongside an affiliate program and a content library of 253+ articles and 756+ expert Q&A entries.

The business runs a hybrid direct-to-consumer and retail distribution model. Owned e-commerce storefronts operate across bodylab.dk, bodylab.no, bodylab.se, and bodylab.fi with next-day delivery and multiple payment options (MobilePay, cards, Google Pay, Apple Pay), augmented by listings in major Nordic retailers (Matas, Salling Group, Rema 1000, Coop, Dagrofa) and Nordic specialty fitness stores. Subscription/recurring purchase mechanics exist alongside one-time retail and export revenue streams, with exports flowing into Middle Eastern and Asian markets through local distributors. Bodylab claims the number one position in Denmark within sports nutrition and reports strong annual growth.

Direct peers

• Bodystore: Danish sports nutrition and supplement retailer with strong local brand presence; competes directly with Bodylab in Denmark across protein, vitamins, and weight-management categories.
