I. The People
Understanding the cultural "Why." In Nigeria, the goal isn't just mass; it's the "Figure 8" aesthetic. Thinness is often stigmatized, while curves signal health and prosperity.
The "Dissatisfied" Majority
- ●
Cultural Ideal: Unlike the West, the Nigerian ideal leans towards "Plump" or "Curvy." 41% of women surveyed expressed a desire to be larger.
- ●
Demographics: Core audience is Women 18-35. They are digital natives ("FitFam" on Instagram) and highly influenced by peer perception.
- ●
The "Socially Thin": While only 12% are clinically underweight, ~35% feel too thin due to societal pressure to have "assets" (glutes/hips).

II. The Problem
The "Dirty Bulk" Dilemma. Why existing solutions fail the consumer.
Unsafe Shortcuts
Market is flooded with illegal syrups (Cypri Gold, etc.) containing corticosteroids. Results: "Moon Face," water retention, organ stress.
Hidden Hunger
90%+ Micronutrient deficiency in some regions. Without Zinc/Iron, the body cannot synthesize muscle, leading to fat gain instead.
The "Potbelly" Fear
High calorie diets often result in abdominal fat. Women want glutes, not guts. This is the primary hesitation for buyers.
III. The Solution
Targeted Gains. Positioning the product as a "Body Sculptor," not just a fattener.

Mechanism of Action
Appetite Stimulation + Nutrient Partitioning. We use bio-available ingredients to prioritize Muscle Protein Synthesis over Adipose storage.
Trust Factor
28.1% of users trust health pros. Marketing must be science-backed to differentiate from "market syrups."
