Quick answer: More Nutrition is a German sports-nutrition brand whose products (Zerup syrups, creatine gummies, protein powders) are not widely stocked in UAE supermarkets. German expats in Dubai and Abu Dhabi typically find them through import listings on marketplaces or specialised online importers, often at prices well above the German retail price and with longer delivery times. Local alternatives such as ZERUP by LUVA and LUVA Creatine Gummies offer halal-certified options with delivery across all seven Emirates.
If you moved to Dubai, Abu Dhabi or another Emirate from Germany and used More Nutrition products at home, you have probably searched "More Nutrition Dubai" or "More Nutrition kaufen Dubai" and found the selection quite different. This guide explains where you might find imported More Nutrition products in the UAE, what to check when buying imported supplements, and which local alternatives match the products German expats miss most.
What German expats look for in the UAE
Many German-speaking residents in Dubai and Abu Dhabi are familiar with More Nutrition's range from home: the Zerup sugar-free drink syrups in dozens of flavours, flavour powders for water and protein shakes, creatine gummies, protein bars and whey powders. In Germany, More Nutrition products are sold online and stocked in many drugstores and supermarkets, making them easy to pick up during a weekly shop.
In the UAE, the picture is different. As far as we saw in October 2026, More Nutrition products are not standard shelf items in major UAE supermarket chains or pharmacies. Instead, expats typically encounter them through import channels: third-party sellers on Amazon.ae (often global or European sellers shipping to the UAE), specialised online importers that focus on European sports nutrition, or occasionally through personal shoppers and forwarding services.
Buying imported supplements in the UAE: what to check
If you find a More Nutrition product listed by an importer or marketplace seller, a few practical checks can save you disappointment and money.
Best-before date and stock rotation. Imported products may have spent weeks in transit or storage. Ask the seller for the best-before date before you order, especially for gummies or powders that can degrade in heat. A product close to expiry is poor value even at a discount.
Heat exposure during UAE summer. The UAE's summer temperatures (often above 40 °C outdoors, and higher inside a parked delivery van) can affect supplements. Gummies may soften or stick together; powders can clump if moisture gets in. Reputable importers use climate-controlled warehouses and insulated packaging, but not all do. Check reviews and ask how the seller stores and ships products during June to September.
Labelling. Products bought for the German market usually carry German-language labels. If a UAE listing shows only German packaging, make sure you can read the ingredients, allergen and storage information, or ask the seller for an English or Arabic translation.
Halal certification (if relevant to you). Many residents in the UAE look for halal certification on food and supplements. If this matters to you, check the product label and seller information before you buy. Do not assume that "made in Germany" or "vegetarian" automatically means halal.
Seller reputation and return policy. Marketplace listings can come from sellers anywhere in the world. Check the seller's ratings, read recent reviews (especially any mentioning delivery to the UAE), and confirm the return policy if the product arrives damaged or past its date. Listings we saw in October 2026 ranged from long-established European supplement importers to new sellers with little feedback.
Price per serving, not just per unit. Imported More Nutrition products in the UAE are typically priced well above the German retail price (often double or more once you include shipping and any customs duty). Always calculate the price per serving or per litre of prepared drink to compare fairly with local alternatives. A bottle that costs AED 40 but makes 10 litres may still be cheaper per litre than a locally made product at AED 19 that makes 8 litres—or it may not, once delivery fees are added.
Bringing More Nutrition products from Germany in your luggage
Some expats stock up during home leave or ask visiting family to bring products in checked luggage. A few points to keep in mind:
Liquids in hand luggage. Zerup syrups are liquids. The 65 ml squeezie bottle is under the 100 ml limit for cabin bags, but you can only carry liquids in a single transparent 1-litre bag. If you are bringing several bottles, pack them in checked luggage.
Personal-use quantities and customs. Rules for bringing food supplements into the UAE can change, and quantities meant for resale are treated differently from personal use. Check the official UAE customs rules before you travel. If you are unsure, declare the items on the customs form.
Heat in the hold and in your car. Checked luggage can get warm, but it is usually fine for a few hours. The bigger risk is leaving products in a parked car in Dubai or Abu Dhabi during summer. Gummies will melt and powders can degrade. Take them indoors as soon as you arrive.

Local alternatives to More Nutrition products in the UAE
If importing is too expensive or slow, several UAE-based brands offer similar products with the advantage of local stock, faster delivery and prices that include VAT.
Sugar-free drink syrup (alternative to More Zerup)
ZERUP by LUVA is a sugar-free drink syrup made for the UAE market. It comes in 65 ml bottles in ten flavours: Peach Iced Tea, Lemon Iced Tea, Mango, Blackberry, Green Apple, Blue Raspberry, Dragonfruit Passionfruit, Orange, Cola Orange and First Heaven (an energy-drink-style taste, caffeine-free). You add about 4 ml to 500 ml of cold still or sparkling water—a short squeeze, a little less than a teaspoon. One bottle makes about 8 litres or 16 glasses of 500 ml.
ZERUP uses glycerin as carrier and is sweetened with acesulfame K and sucralose (no aspartame, no sugar alcohols such as xylitol or erythritol). It has 0 g sugar per glass and almost no calories (approximately 2–3 kcal per 100 ml of prepared drink). Every flavour is halal certified and vegan, and the full ingredient list and nutrition panel are printed on the bottle and shown on the product page.
Price: AED 19 per bottle. Any three flavours cost AED 49 (mix and match, saving AED 8; the discount applies automatically in your cart). That works out to about AED 2.40 per litre of drink with a single bottle, or about AED 2.04 per litre with the three-for-49 offer. LUVA delivers to all seven Emirates, and delivery is free on orders over AED 200. Our ZERUP flavour guide describes each flavour in detail, and we have a separate article comparing More Zerup and ZERUP by LUVA for expats familiar with the German product.

Creatine gummies (alternative to More Nutrition creatine gummies)
LUVA Creatine Gummies are heart-shaped gummies with creatine monohydrate plus keratin, biotin and zinc. Two gummies equal one daily serving and deliver 5 g of creatine monohydrate—the amount supported by decades of research for muscle strength and performance. One tin contains 60 gummies, which is 30 daily servings (one month). They come in two flavours: Raspberry (orange tin) and Strawberry (pink tin). Both are halal certified and contain 0 g sugar (no added sugar). See the label for full ingredients.
Price: AED 199 per tin (one month), which is about AED 6.63 per day. Two- and three-month supplies are available at a lower per-month price, and an Autoship subscription starts at AED 159 per month. Store the tin closed at room temperature, away from direct sunlight; never leave it in a parked car during UAE summer.
LUVA Creatine Gummies are a food supplement for adults. They are not suitable for anyone under 18. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication, speak to your doctor before using any creatine product. Do not exceed the daily serving of two gummies. Our guides on creatine for beginners and creatine for women explain how creatine works, and we have a detailed comparison of creatine powder versus gummies.
Starter bundle (for expats who want to try both)
The LUVA Starter Bundle includes all ten ZERUP flavours plus both Creatine Gummies tins (Raspberry and Strawberry) for AED 382.20 instead of AED 588—a 35 per cent saving. It suits anyone who wants to try everything at once. You can also browse all bundles on the site.

Why local brands work well in the UAE
Beyond price and delivery speed, UAE-based products are designed with the Gulf climate and culture in mind. LUVA's flavours were chosen for the local market, every product is halal certified, and the website and customer service operate in English, German and Arabic. For German expats who miss the convenience of picking up a Zerup bottle at a drugstore or supermarket, having a local alternative with a similar price per litre (once you account for the three-for-49 offer) makes daily hydration much simpler. Our guide on how to drink more water in the UAE has more tips for staying on top of hydration in the Gulf heat, and the gym hydration guide covers what athletes and gym-goers need to know.
The bottom line
More Nutrition products are not widely stocked in UAE shops, but German expats can find them through import listings—just check the seller, the best-before date, the storage conditions and the final price per serving. Bringing a few bottles or tins in your luggage during home leave is also an option for personal use. For everyday convenience, halal certification and local delivery, ZERUP by LUVA and LUVA Creatine Gummies offer German expats in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and across the UAE a practical alternative at a fair price.
