Where is a cheap supplement store in Dublin?

LeprechaunMuscleheadFilter: I'm looking for a place to buy my protein. I moved to Dublin (Ireland, not Ohio :) back in September, and I've been buying my protein from my gym (LA Fitness in Dartry). The thing is, the prices I'm paying are RDICULOUSLY high (42 euro for 2lbs, compared to the approximately 5lbs that you would get for that price back in Toronto). Does anybody know of any good supplement stores in the city? My google-fu yielded lots of online stores, but no bricks and mortar.

antifuse, hi, i only live around the corner from you! (well, from your gym..)
As far as i recall there's a place in ranelagh village, i'll be passing through later today and will check it out.

There's a new supplement store called "The Supplement Store" open on Camden St. , just up from the fitness dock gym. Dunno what the prices are like though cause I only see it from the bus window as I pass by.

Awesome, thanks! I'm living in Clonskeagh now (I was in Rathgar before, hence LA Fitness was a good match at the time), so Ranelagh is perfect.
