Where, in Cork, can can I buy supplements?

Three or so years ago, someone asked this same question but it looks like the answer given to them: 'building a body', is no longer in business (either way, I can't seem to get in touch with them). I don't know the city too well and was hoping someone who did might be able to give me a hand. I live near CIT, so the closer the better. All I'm looking for is a place where they sell whey protein and perhaps other similar supplements to offer a little choice.

The Vitamin Shop in the Dunnes on North Main Street has a wide range, make sure you go on a Thursday as you get a 10% discount.

This is a pleasant surprise. I didn't expect such quick responses.

So about this Vitamin shop. If I get into a cab and tell the driver to get me to North Main Street shopping centre, he'll know what I'm talking about and be able to get me there?

Most of the Maher sports shops in the city would sell your standard array of supplements too.

No need, get the number 5 bus outside CIT into town, it'll leave you off at Patrick's Street, ask for directions from them, it's two minutes walk away.

Does anyone know what the opening hours for the Vitamin shop are?

Edit: Nevermind. I found their number and got the information.
