Which supplement brands has Dwayne Johnson been publicly associated with or invested in?
Executive summary
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is publicly associated as a co-founder and co-owner of ZOA Energy, which expanded into pre-workout powder (ZOA+ Powder) and earned NSF Certified for Sport certification in October 2024 [1]. Independent sites and fitness blogs list numerous supplements he reportedly uses (protein powders, fish oil, ZMA, casein), but those are largely reporting or inference from social posts rather than formal brand-investment disclosures [2] [3] [4] [5].
1. ZOA Energy: the only clearly documented supplement brand he co‑owns
Johnson is named repeatedly as a co‑founder and co‑owner of ZOA (the energy drink and supplement portfolio) alongside Dany Garcia, Dave Rienzi and John Shulman; ZOA expanded into a five‑in‑one pre‑workout powder called ZOA+ Powder and received NSF Certified for Sport in October 2024, a formal third‑party certification emphasized by NSF [1]. Reporting about ZOA includes Johnson’s role in product development and public interviews about the product line [1] [6].
2. Public signals vs. formal investments: many supplement mentions, few confirmed ownerships
Multiple fitness and lifestyle sites compile “The Rock’s” supplement stack — listing protein powders, pre‑workout, fish oil, casein, ZMA and other items — largely based on social posts, photos and interviews [2] [3] [4] [5]. These pieces describe what he reportedly consumes but do not present the same documentary evidence as ZOA’s corporate and certification announcements. Available sources do not mention additional supplement brands that Johnson publicly owns or has invested in beyond ZOA [1] [7] [8].
3. What reporters and blogs claim he uses — and the limits of that evidence
Sites such as Routines.club, Brainflow, TotalShape and others list a range of specific products allegedly used by Johnson, citing Instagram images and other informal sources [2] [3] [4]. For example, Brainflow reports a photo showing Carlson Labs Liquid Fish Oil in his fridge; other outlets say he uses casein at night and ZMA before bed [3] [5]. These claims are based on social‑media snapshots and retrospective reporting; the pieces themselves warn of sketchy companies falsely claiming endorsements [3]. None of these blog reports supply formal investment filings or company press releases proving ownership.
4. Investment databases show a narrow overall portfolio — not a broad supplement investment footprint
Investor records summarized by CB Insights, Tracxn and Crunchbase show only a small number of recorded investments for Johnson (CB Insights lists two investments, Tracxn lists one, and Crunchbase records other non‑supplement business relationships) — none of those databases, in the cited snippets, identify additional supplement companies beyond ZOA [7] [8] [9]. That suggests his public investment footprint, as captured in those databases, is concentrated and not dominated by supplement brand acquisitions [7] [8].
5. Competing perspectives: fan compilations vs. corporate announcements
Fan and fitness sites compile extensive “stacks” to satisfy curiosity about how Johnson maintains his physique; those lists often read like product roundups and can repeat unverified claims [2] [4]. By contrast, corporate announcements and third‑party certifications (ZOA’s NSF certification) provide verifiable evidence of Johnson’s public business role in supplements [1]. Readers should weight direct corporate disclosures higher than aggregating blogs when judging ownership or investment.
6. Hidden agendas and caution for consumers
Several sources note the existence of “scam” companies that claim celebrity use; Brainflow explicitly warns of sketchy companies falsely claiming The Rock’s endorsement [3]. Consumer‑facing blogs that monetize traffic by promoting products have implicit commercial incentives; those pieces should not be conflated with evidence of ownership or equity investments [3] [4].
7. Bottom line and what’s not in the reporting
The only supplement brand clearly and repeatedly tied to Johnson as a co‑founder/co‑owner in these sources is ZOA Energy (and its ZOA+ Powder product), with public certification and corporate messaging documented [1]. Numerous sources list supplements he reportedly takes, but those are reporting and inference rather than proof of brand ownership [2] [3] [4] [5]. Available sources do not mention other supplement companies that he has publicly invested in or co‑founded beyond ZOA [1] [7].
