Dedicated Supplement Shops in South Tenerife
The south of Tenerife has a small but growing number of dedicated sports nutrition shops, driven by the year-round fitness culture among both residents and fitness-focused tourists. These are the best places to go for a proper range of products and knowledgeable staff.
Prices are broadly comparable to UK supplement prices, and in some cases cheaper, particularly for brands manufactured or distributed within Spain and the Canary Islands. Do not expect significant savings versus UK warehouse sales, but you will not be paying dramatically over the odds either.

|---|---|---|---|
| My Way Nutrition | Adeje | Widest range, highest rated. Google 4.9 | No. Short taxi (~€5 to €8) |

The shop closes for a long lunch from 2pm to 4:30pm daily and is closed on Sundays. Check Google Maps for current hours before making the trip to avoid a wasted journey.

Industria Fitness also has a second location in Las Chafiras (Avenida Lucio Díaz Flores Feo 22, Local 6) closer to the airport, and a third location in La Laguna. For tourists, the Los Cristianos store is the one to head for.

Fitness Nutrition Tenerife, La Caleta
Fitness Nutrition Tenerife operates from La Caleta in Adeje, stocking sports nutrition products including protein, vitamins, and supplement staples. The range includes plant-based protein options alongside standard whey and casein, which is useful for vegan and vegetarian athletes. The La Caleta location is more convenient for tourists staying in the western Costa Adeje area than My Way Nutrition in Adeje town, though both require a short taxi from the main resort hotels. Reviews are mixed on customer service but consistently positive on product range.

Gyms That Sell Protein Shakes On Site
For the most convenient post-workout option, several gyms in south Tenerife sell protein shakes directly on site, which removes the need for a separate shopping trip.
| Gym | What They Sell | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Clan Fitness, Costa Adeje | Ready-made protein shakes on site. Basic range | Approximately €2. Exceptionally good value for a ready-made gym shake |
| BodyLine, Playa de las Américas | Full smoothie and protein bar with made-to-order shakes using fresh ingredients | Higher than Clan Fitness. Premium post-workout option |
| Activate Sports Club, Costa Adeje | Beach bar with protein shakes and health-focused drinks as part of the regular menu | Check directly |

Supermarket Options: What Mercadona Stocks
Mercadona is the dominant supermarket chain in the south and has improved its sports nutrition range considerably in recent years. The Hacendado own-brand range includes a growing selection of protein products worth knowing about.
Protein yoghurts and high-protein dairy in the chilled section (~€1 to €2 per pot). Hacendado protein bars in most stores. Hacendado whey protein powder in some stores (availability varies). Oats, eggs, tinned tuna, Greek yoghurt, cottage cheese, and other whole-food protein sources at competitive prices. Other supermarkets worth checking: Lidl (rotating sports nutrition range) and HiperDino (broader grocery range).
The most fully stocked Mercadona stores are slightly outside the immediate tourist centre, towards the more residential parts of Adeje and Los Cristianos. A short taxi removes the tourist premium pricing that applies to everything sold within the resort strip.
Buying Supplements Online with Delivery to South Tenerife
| Option | Delivery Time | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| My Way Nutrition | Order before you travel for arrival day delivery | Wide range. Order at mywaynutrition.com |
| A1 Supplements | Same or next day across Tenerife | MyProtein products. Order at a1supplements.biz |
| MyProtein.com | 3 to 5 working days to Canary Islands | Full MyProtein range. Ships directly to Canary Islands without EU customs complications |
| Amazon Spain (amazon.es) | Several days. Build in a buffer | Broad range of brands. Prime delivery not always as fast in Canary Islands as mainland Spain |
Let reception know to expect a delivery on your behalf. Most hotels in the south are accustomed to this and will hold packages for guests, but informing them in advance prevents confusion or refusal at the door.
Should You Bring Supplements from Home?
You are particular about a specific brand, flavour, or formulation. The range available in the south, while decent, does not match the breadth of options at a UK supplement retailer. If you use a specific casein or a pre-workout that works for you, bring it in your hold luggage and remove all uncertainty. You also control exactly what you have in the quantities you need.
You are travelling light, you are flexible about brands, or you are staying long enough that carrying a week’s worth of protein powder feels unnecessary. Buying locally also removes the weight and bulk from your luggage and means you are not restricted by airline limits on powder in carry-on baggage.
UK supplement prices, particularly from major online retailers, are generally very competitive. Buying the same product locally in south Tenerife will typically cost a similar amount, sometimes slightly more, occasionally less depending on the brand. The price difference is rarely significant enough to drive the decision either way. The deciding factors are convenience, flexibility, and how particular you are about specific products.
Flying with Protein Powder: What You Need to Know
Protein powder, creatine, BCAAs, and most supplement powders are entirely legal to pack in checked baggage for UK to Spain routes. No specific restrictions apply. Seal tubs or pouches securely. If packing loose powder rather than a sealed commercial tub, use a labelled container or zip-lock bag to prevent spillage and avoid questions at security.
UK and EU airport security guidelines restrict powders of more than 350ml in carry-on luggage. Commercial tubs of protein powder typically exceed this limit and can be flagged for additional screening or confiscated. The safest approach is to pack all supplement powders in your hold luggage. Sealed tablets, capsules, and single-serving sachets are fine in carry-on.
No restrictions. Pack as many as you like in hand luggage or hold luggage. The most straightforward solution for anyone who wants something on the plane or on the first day before sorting supplements in the resort.
Some pre-workout products have an intense smell when containers are opened by security. This does not cause any legal issues but can lead to additional bag checks. Sealed commercial containers are less likely to attract attention than repackaged powder in clear bags.
Practical Tips for Supplement Shopping in South Tenerife
My Way Nutrition closes from 2pm to 4:30pm daily and is closed on Sundays. Many supplement shops do not keep the same hours as UK retail stores. A quick Google Maps check before you set out saves a wasted journey.
For tourists who want to walk to a supplement shop without a taxi, Industria Fitness inside CC Parque Santiago 6 in Los Cristianos is the only fully stocked option directly in the resort area. Check @industriafitness2 on Instagram for current hours and stock.
Most supplement shop staff speak functional English but knowing a few terms helps in smaller shops. Proteína de suero: whey protein. Creatina: creatine. Aminoácidos: amino acids. Proteína vegetal: plant-based protein. These terms are also recognisable on packaging when navigating Spanish-language labels.
If all you need is a basic protein yoghurt or a protein bar to tide you over, Mercadona covers this at very reasonable prices without any special trip. Save the taxi for the dedicated supplement shops when you need a more specific product.
For a two-week stay, ordering from My Way Nutrition or A1 Supplements to your holiday address before you travel is the most convenient option. You arrive with everything waiting, and you avoid fitting a supplement shopping trip into your first day.
Many pharmacies across the south stock protein and nutrition bars in the health and sports section near the vitamins. Pharmacies are more prevalent in the resort areas than supplement shops. For a quick protein bar top-up they are a convenient option that most tourists overlook.
