I just moved to China, and I’m trying to find out the legality of nutritional supplements related to bodybuilding. I’m talking about protein powder, creatine, clenbuterol, l-glutamine; are these legal in China? What is or isn’t legal? Where would one go to purchase these things in China- the pharmacy? Online? Specialty stores? I appreciate your help.

Protein powder, creatine, and the supplements you mentioned are legal in China. There are a lot of questionable supplements in China. My suggestion is Amway in China. There are Amway stores in China and they sell a nutritional supplements similar to what you asked. I know since I was given one from China to duplicate as I am a supplement supplier / manufacturer in the USA. Amway products are safe so far and is an American / Chinese joint venture but expensive. The other option is to buy from Hong Kong. Hong Kong Health regulation is very strict and all supplements must be registered and tested. China has the same laws but the country is too big to enforce. Thus, there are lots of poor quality stuff. Watson and Manning have sports nutritions and most are safe. Most mainland Chinese buy supplements in HK and it should give you a hint.
Good luck

Don’t know much about sports supplements in China, try to search here:
I just know that clenbuterol is banned by FDA (in the USA).
