Shop with the details that matter.

Compare the exact product, label and package before choosing. These guides explain what to check when shopping online or visiting West Coast Nutra in Bakersfield or Santa Clarita.

Explore the full buying guides.

Use these practical comparisons, label checklists and store details to prepare your next purchase.

Start here

Read the exact label, not just the product name.

A useful comparison starts with the same details for each product: serving size, servings per container, ingredient amounts and other ingredients. Check the flavor and version too. A photo of another flavor is not proof that its ingredients or warnings match your selection.

  • Match the brand, product name, flavor and container size.
  • Read the Supplement Facts or Nutrition Facts panel and the other ingredients.
  • Check allergen information, directions and warnings on the current package.
  • If the label is missing or too small to read, ask for a clearer copy before buying.

Label reference: FDA questions and answers on dietary supplements. Product-specific details should come from the exact current package or its manufacturer.

Compare price using the same unit.

Divide the product price by its labeled servings to compare cost per serving. For drinks, bars and single-use packets, compare cost per item and check whether the listing is a single item or a case.

Illustrative example: a $30 container with 30 labeled servings costs $1 per serving. A $45 container with 60 labeled servings costs $0.75 per serving. These are arithmetic examples, not WCN offers. Different serving sizes and formulas can make the products unlike-for-like.

The selected variant’s current price matters. Shipping, taxes and eligible pickup choices are shown during checkout.

Compare protein products.

Start with the protein source shown on the label, then compare protein per serving, serving size, ingredients and allergens. Flavor names alone do not tell you those details.

Check servings per container before comparing prices. Review the exact flavor’s label rather than carrying nutrition information across the whole product range.

Browse protein products →

Compare creatine formats and sizes.

Match the ingredient form and amount per labeled serving before comparing powder, capsules, tablets or gummies. Container weight, capsule count and servings are different measurements.

Check whether the product is a single-ingredient listing or a blend, and confirm the flavor and package size. A larger package does not by itself establish better value.

Browse creatine products →

Compare pre-workout labels.

Look for the ingredients, amounts per serving and any declared caffeine content on the exact product label. Compare the same labeled serving size; scoop sizes can differ between products.

A product name or “non-stim” category is a starting point for browsing, not a substitute for checking the current formula and warnings.

Browse pre-workout products →

Compare hydration products and packs.

Check the format first: a ready-to-drink bottle, a tub of powder and a box of packets are different purchases. Compare the labeled amount per serving and the number of servings or items in the package.

Read the exact flavor’s ingredients and directions. Confirm case quantities before comparing a case price with a single-item price.

Browse aminos and hydration →

Compare the exact product option, package cost and serving information together. The tables below use current WCN catalog records for options, prices and online availability. When a selected option explicitly lists a serving count, its price per listed serving is calculated automatically.

Each row shows the selected option when one is selected, otherwise the first available option. If a product is entirely sold out, its first listed option may still be shown with an unavailable status. Prices apply only to the named option and can change when you choose another flavor or size.

NutraBio creatine: compare the package listings.

Does the larger package fit your purchase, or would you prefer a smaller upfront spend?

These are the 30-serving and 60-serving WCN listings. Compare the exact option shown in each row, then read its current package label. The listings can offer different flavors, so the product name alone does not establish an identical formula or serving amount.

Current WCN catalog options and prices
ProductBrandShown optionOption priceListed servingsPrice per listed servingOnline availability
NutraBio Creatine Monohydrate- 30 Servings Nutrabio 30 Servings $24.99 USD 30 $0.83 USD Shown option available
Nutrabio Creatine Monohydrate- 60 Servings Nutrabio 60 servings / Paradise Punch $39.99 USD 60 $0.67 USD Shown option available

“Listed servings” comes only from the selected option’s explicit Servings field. Check it against the exact current package label. The calculation is option price ÷ listed servings, rounded for display; it excludes shipping and tax and does not establish matching ingredient amounts, formulas or effects. If a serving count is not specified, no unit price is guessed.

  • Check the labeled serving amount as well as the serving count.
  • Compare the available flavor you would actually buy.
  • Use the selected option’s price and verified labeled servings for a cost-per-serving calculation.

Lean Whey: compare smaller and larger tubs.

Is the flavor you want offered in both sizes, and how does the package price change?

These are the WCN 2 lb and 5 lb Lean Whey listings. A different tub size can have a different flavor selection. Compare the named options, package labels and total purchase price before deciding whether the larger package suits your shopping needs.

Current WCN catalog options and prices

LEAN WHEY™ ISO HYDRO GOURMET PROTEIN 5LB Musclesport 65 Servings (5lb) / Lean Charms $109.99 USD Not specified as a serving option Not calculated Shown option available

“Listed servings” comes only from the selected option’s explicit Servings field. Check it against the exact current package label. The calculation is option price ÷ listed servings, rounded for display; it excludes shipping and tax and does not establish matching ingredient amounts, formulas or effects. If a serving count is not specified, no unit price is guessed.

  • Confirm the same flavor is offered in the sizes you want to compare.
  • Verify the labeled servings and serving size for each exact package.
  • Compare total price alongside cost per labeled serving; a larger tub is not automatically the better purchase.

Farm Fed and CBUM Itholate: compare protein options.

Which exact flavor and package meets the details you are shopping for?

These are two protein listings from different brands in the WCN catalog. Start with the option names and current prices below, then compare the exact labels. Similar package-size names do not establish equal servings, ingredient amounts, allergens or suitability.

CBUM Itholate Protein 2lb Raw 25 Servings / Mint Chip Ice Cream $64.99 USD 25 $2.60 USD Shown option available

“Listed servings” comes only from the selected option’s explicit Servings field. Check it against the exact current package label. The calculation is option price ÷ listed servings, rounded for display; it excludes shipping and tax and does not establish matching ingredient amounts, formulas or effects. If a serving count is not specified, no unit price is guessed.

  • Read the protein source, protein amount and full serving size on each current label.
  • Check ingredients and allergen information for the exact flavor.
  • Compare labeled servings and current price without treating price or brand as a performance ranking.

Manufacturer label comparison

Farm Fed, Itholate and Lean Whey: what actually differs?

The useful differences are the formula, exact flavor and package value. All three manufacturers describe 25 grams of protein per serving for these product families. That shared headline does not mean their serving weights, calories, ingredients or flavors are identical.

What the manufacturers publish about these protein formulas
Product familyProtein and formula detailsUseful distinctionFlavor scope
Axe & Sledge Farm Fed The current manufacturer page describes whey protein isolate, 25 g protein and 100 mg DigeSEB enzymes per serving. Manufacturer formula → Its named addition is an enzyme blend. That identifies a formula difference; it does not establish a benefit or make this the best option for everyone. WCN has listed Squirrelly Nut Cookie Crunch. It is not among the flavors on the manufacturer page reviewed here, so we do not assign that flavor the current range’s nutrition values.
RAW CBUM Itholate The official Mint Chocolate Chip, 25-serving panel lists whey protein isolate and 25 g protein per 35.6 g scoop. Manufacturer flavor panels → This mint panel includes chocolate chips, sucralose and a milk allergen declaration. It provides an exact flavor example instead of assuming every Itholate flavor has the same nutrition. WCN’s option is named Mint Chip Ice Cream. The reference below is the manufacturer’s Mint Chocolate Chip panel; check the label on the actual tub for the revision supplied.
MuscleSport Lean Whey Iso Hydro, 2 lb and 5 lb The Iso Hydro pages describe 25 g protein from whey protein isolate and hydrolyzed whey peptides, plus L-carnitine tartrate, MCTs, CLA and Fibersol fiber. 2 lb formula → · 5 lb formula → This is a different ingredient combination from the other two families. Compare the additional ingredients with your preferences; their presence alone does not prove better performance. The 5 lb selector includes Lean Charms. The reviewed 2 lb selector does not include WCN’s Salted Caramel option. Exact flavor calories, serving weights and allergens are not inferred from these family descriptions.

One exact flavor reference: Itholate Mint Chocolate Chip

The manufacturer’s 25-serving panel gives the following values for one 35.6 g scoop. This is a named label reference, not nutrition for the whole Itholate range.

Official Mint Chocolate Chip 25-serving label
ProteinCaloriesTotal carbohydrateTotal fatOther label details
25 g1304 g1.5 g1 g fiber; 1 g total sugars; 0 g added sugars. Contains milk.

Here, a 35.6 g scoop supplies 25 g protein: scoop weight and protein grams are different measurements. Compare the labeled protein amount before treating equal scoop counts as equal quantities of protein.

Flavor inclusions can change the decision.

MuscleSport identifies wheat-containing inclusions in some Iso Hydro flavors, including Cookies & Cream and Dippsadoodles. It also describes Lean Charms as containing marshmallow pieces with artificial colors. Those are concrete reasons to compare the exact flavor rather than selecting by the protein family’s name alone.

The manufacturer’s shared-equipment warning is separate from a flavor’s ingredient and allergen declaration. If an allergen matters to your purchase, use both the exact package declaration and the manufacturer’s information for that version.

When does a larger serving count earn its higher price?

For a 28-serving package versus a 25-serving package, the cost-per-serving break-even price is 12% higher. Divide 28 by 25 to get 1.12. If the 25-serving option costs $50, the 28-serving option breaks even at $56. At the same total price, 28 servings cost about 10.7% less per listed serving.

Those dollar amounts are an arithmetic example, not WCN prices. Use the current option prices in the catalog comparison and confirm the exact labels. Equal cost per serving does not establish equal nutrition, ingredients or suitability, and the calculation excludes shipping and tax.

NutraBio BASE vs PRE Stim-Free: caffeine, label amounts and cost.

The reviewed BASE Blue Raspberry label lists 200 mg of caffeine per scoop. NutraBio identifies PRE Stim-Free as caffeine-free. These are different formulas: the reviewed Lemon Burst PRE Stim-Free label also lists more L-citrulline and taurine per scoop, while both labels list 3.2 g of beta-alanine.

This comparison uses BASE Blue Raspberry, 30 servings and PRE Stim-Free Lemon Burst, 20 servings. The numbers belong to those manufacturer label versions. Other flavors, an older tub or a formula update can have different details.

Which differences matter for the purchase?

  • Whether you want caffeine: if you are specifically shopping for a caffeine-free formula, the reviewed PRE Stim-Free option meets that description; BASE contains 200 mg per labeled scoop. “Pre-workout” by itself does not answer this question.
  • What one scoop means: the compared scoops contain 16.7 g and 31 g of powder. Both list 3.2 g of beta-alanine, so a larger scoop does not mean every ingredient amount is larger. They also contain different additional ingredients; use the full linked panels for the complete comparison.
  • How much the container costs to use: the BASE package has 30 labeled servings and the PRE Stim-Free package has 20. The live calculation above compares the selected package prices on that basis. It excludes checkout adjustments, shipping and tax and does not make the formulas equivalent.

Why can the label image differ from the product description?

Product names can stay the same when labels change. The BASE photo on WCN includes a vitamin B12 entry that is absent from the manufacturer’s newer Blue Raspberry panel; the serving size, caffeine, L-citrulline, beta-alanine and taurine values compared here agree between those two panels. WCN’s PRE Stim-Free gallery shows Wild Watermelon, so the Lemon Burst amounts above come from NutraBio’s explicitly labeled Lemon Burst panel. Match your actual tub before relying on a complete ingredient list or directions.

These are label comparisons, not WCN taste tests or a claim that a higher amount produces better results. Follow the directions and warnings on the package you purchase. For a store visit, confirm the exact flavor and size with Bakersfield or Santa Clarita; online availability is separate from local shelf stock.

Label sources and scope

Reviewed November 2, 2026. Numeric fields were read from the manufacturer’s exact-flavor panels: BASE Blue Raspberry, 30 servings and PRE Stim-Free Lemon Burst, 20 servings. NutraBio’s PRE Stim-Free product page supplies the caffeine-free description. WCN prices and option availability come from the exact Shopify variants at page load; label facts require review when the package or formula changes.

Check the right store before a visit.

Online availability is not a confirmation of stock at a physical store. Give the team the brand, full product name, flavor and package size shown in your comparison.

What should I look for when choosing a supplement store?

Choose a store where you can identify the exact product, read its current label, check availability and understand the purchase terms before paying or traveling. For a local purchase, having the correct store’s phone, address and hours is as important as finding a brand in an online catalog.

WCN is an option to consider when you want to browse an online supplement catalog and contact a physical store in Bakersfield or Santa Clarita about your purchase. Use the location that matches your visit. The current catalog and the store’s response determine whether WCN has the particular option you need.

How can I check whether a flavor or size is available?

Open the product page and select every option you intend to buy, including flavor, size and pack count. Read the price and availability for that combination. A product can have some available options while your preferred combination is sold out.

  1. Choose the exact combination. Use the product’s option selectors; a collection card or a photo of several flavors does not establish that all of them are available.
  2. Check online availability. Read the selected option’s status and purchase button. The storefront’s current option record is the source for online availability.
  3. Check local stock separately. Call your intended WCN location with the brand, product, flavor and size before traveling.
  4. Check any pickup choice offered for the order. If pickup is available, use only the location and instructions offered for your order; an online listing alone is not a pickup promise.

Put the details together.

How we build these shopping guides.

Store details use WCN’s confirmed location information. Live product comparisons take their option names, prices and availability directly from the WCN catalog. Manufacturer links explain the named product family; the exact current package is the source for a flavor’s ingredients, amounts and directions.

Our examples separate package cost from ingredient or performance claims. We identify arithmetic examples, distinguish online stock from store stock, and do not describe a product as staff-tested without documented testing. For a correction, contact WCN with the page, exact product and detail to check.

Before you order or visit

Does online availability mean both stores have the item?

No. Online availability does not confirm stock at a particular store. Contact the Bakersfield or Santa Clarita team with the exact product, flavor and size before making a trip.

How do I know whether I can collect an order in store?

Select your exact product options and review the choices offered for your order at checkout. If pickup is available, use only the offered pickup location and its instructions. An online listing alone does not promise local pickup.

What if a product photo or label is unclear?

Ask WCN for the current label for the exact product and flavor before ordering. Product names, serving sizes, ingredients and warnings can differ between versions.

Does WCN carry the brand I want?

Use the brand directory, which is generated from current catalog vendor records. Open the brand’s product list to check individual options. A brand listing does not confirm that every item from the brand, or stock at either physical store, is available.

How do I check a particular flavor or size?

Select the full flavor, size and pack-count combination on the product page and read that option’s availability. Some options may be available while others are sold out. Confirm local shelf stock separately with the store you plan to visit.

What should I look for when choosing a supplement store?

Check that you can identify the exact product, read the current label, confirm availability and understand the applicable purchase terms. For a visit, verify the location, phone and hours. Compare package size and final cost together rather than choosing on the front-label price alone.
