There is a health food store there - Evergrain Natural Foods, 45 North Main St. They don't have a lot in the way of protein powder and shakes. Not a lot on the supplement end of things, either. They do have a good selection of herbs, herbal remedies, etc. - more homeopathic stuff.

I have the impression you're either a powerlifter or bodybuilder - am I close? I used to train for powerlifting and was on a very high protein supplement diet when I was maxing out a routine. If that's the route you're going then usually used EAS, MuscleMilk, Edge, etc. Vitamin World (there's a good one at the Tanger Outlet in Tilton) is probably the best for that - there was a place in Manchester that was good for those things but I think they closed a while back. Ditto for the supplements.

Believe it or not, but there's an Ocean State Job Lot in Ossippee on Route 16 and I have found some great deals there from time to time - but you have to hit it right. They've had some excelling products (EAS mostly) for very little $.


PS
Check with Andy (owner) at Olympia Gym on Varney Road in Wolfeboro for some of this stuff - he'll know what's what in the area, too. That gym was a powerlifting gym years back - the guy who owned it now owns Galaxy in Belmont. Andy has made Olympia more mainstream but it's a great little gym and the membership is very affordable.
