         This Registration Rights Agreement (this "AGREEMENT") is made and
entered into as of January 18 2005, by and among General Nutrition Centers,
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"), the guarantors listed on
Schedule I hereto (the "GUARANTORS") and Lehman Brothers Inc. and J.P. Morgan
Securities Inc. (each, an "INITIAL PURCHASER" and, collectively, the "INITIAL
PURCHASERS"), each of whom has agreed to purchase the Company's 8?% Senior
Notes due 2011 (the "INITIAL NOTES") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (as
defined below).

         This Agreement is made pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, dated
January 11, 2005 (the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT"), by and among the Company, the
Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers. In order to induce the Initial
Purchasers to purchase the Initial Notes, the Company has agreed to provide
the registration rights set forth in this Agreement. The execution and
delivery of this Agreement is a condition to the obligations of the Initial
Purchasers set forth in Section 7 of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms
used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning assigned to them
in the Indenture, dated as of January 18, 2005 (the "INDENTURE"), among the
Company, the Guarantors and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee,
relating to the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes (as defined below).

         The parties hereby agree as follows:

         CONSUMMATE: An Exchange Offer shall be deemed "Consummated" for
purposes of this Agreement upon the occurrence of the delivery by the Company

principal amount as the aggregate principal amount of Initial Notes tendered
by Holders thereof pursuant to the Exchange Offer.

         CONSUMMATION DEADLINE:   As defined in Section 3(b) hereof.

         EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE:   As defined in Sections 3(a) and 4(a) hereof.

         EXCHANGE ACT:   The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

         EXCHANGE NOTES: The Company's 8 1/2% Senior Notes due 2011 to be
issued pursuant to the Indenture: (i) in the Exchange Offer or (ii) as
contemplated by Section 4 hereof.

         EXCHANGE OFFER: The exchange and issuance by the Company of a
principal amount of Exchange Notes (which shall be registered pursuant to the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement) equal to the outstanding principal
amount of Initial Notes that are properly tendered and not withdrawn by such
Holders in connection with such exchange and issuance, as required by the
terms of this Agreement.

         EXCHANGE OFFER REGISTRATION STATEMENT: The Registration Statement
relating to the Exchange Offer, (i) that is filed pursuant to the provisions

including all amendments and supplements thereto (including post-effective
amendments) and all exhibits and material incorporated by reference therein.

         FILING DEADLINE: As defined in Sections 3(a) and 4(a) hereof.

         HOLDERS: As defined in Section 2 hereof.

         PROSPECTUS: The prospectus included in a Registration Statement at
the time such Registration Statement is declared effective, as amended or
supplemented by any prospectus supplement and by all other amendments thereto,
including post-effective amendments, and all material incorporated by
reference into such Prospectus.

         RECOMMENCEMENT DATE: As defined in Section 6(d) hereof.

         REGISTRATION DEFAULT: As defined in Section 5 hereof.

         REGISTRATION STATEMENT: The Exchange Offer Registration Statement or
the Shelf Registration Statement, as applicable.

         RULE 144:   Rule 144 promulgated under the Act.

         SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT:   As defined in Section 4 hereof.

         SUSPENSION NOTICE:   As defined in Section 6(d) hereof.

         SUSPENSION PERIOD: The period of time (a) that the Company may delay
filing and distributing (i) a post-effective amendment to (x) the Shelf
Registration Statement or (y) after the date on which the Exchange Offer is
Consummated, the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that is required to be
effective to permit resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers as
contemplated by Section 3(c) below or (ii) a supplement to any related
Prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to Holders or purchasers of
Transfer Restricted Securities, the Prospectus will not contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading if the Company
determines reasonably and in good faith that compliance with the disclosure
obligations necessary to maintain the effectiveness of such Registration
Statement at such time would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse
effect on the Company or a pending financing, acquisition, disposition, merger
or other material corporate transaction involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries (it being understood that, in the case of this clause (a), the
Company shall be required to proceed in good faith to amend such Registration
Statement or supplement to such related Prospectus to describe such events or
to otherwise cause such Registration Statement to become effective and the
related Prospectus to again be usable at such time as so doing would not have
such a material adverse effect), or (b) when (i) the Shelf Registration
Statement or (ii) after the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated,
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement that is required to remain effective
to permit resales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers as contemplated by
Section 3(c) below, in each case, ceases to be effective or any related
Prospectus is not usable solely because the Company filed a post-effective
amendment to any such Registration Statement to include annual audited
financial information with respect to the Company and such post-effective
amendment is not yet effective and needs to be declared effective to permit
Holders to use the related Prospectus (it being understood that, in the case
of this clause (b), the Company shall be required to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any such post-effective amendment to become
effective as soon as practicable); provided that such Suspension Periods shall
not occur more than 45 consecutive days, or more than 75 days in the
aggregate; and provided further that upon the termination of such Suspension
Period, the Company shall promptly advise each Holder and purchaser and, if
requested by any such person, confirm such advice in writing that such
Suspension Period has been terminated.

         TIA: The Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C. Section 77aaa-77bbbb)
as in effect on the date of the Indenture.

         TRANSFER RESTRICTED SECURITIES: Each Initial Note until the earliest
to occur of (a) the date on which such Initial Note has been exchanged in the
Exchange Offer by a Person other than a Broker-Dealer for an Exchange Note
entitled to be resold to the public by the Holder thereof without complying
with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Act, (b) following the
exchange by a Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer of an Initial Note for an
Exchange Note, the date on which such Exchange Note is sold to a purchaser who
receives from such Broker-Dealer on or prior to the date of such sale a copy
of the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement, (c)
the date on which such Initial Note has been effectively registered under the
Act and disposed of in accordance with the Shelf Registration Statement (and
the purchasers thereof have been issued Exchange Notes) or (d) the date on
which such Initial Note is distributed to the public pursuant to Rule 144.

SECTION 2.         HOLDERS

         A Person is deemed to be a holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
(each, a "HOLDER") whenever such Person owns Transfer Restricted Securities.

SECTION 3.         REGISTERED EXCHANGE OFFER

         (a) Unless the Exchange Offer shall not be permitted by applicable
law or Commission policy (after the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i)
below have been complied with), the Company and the Guarantors shall (i) cause
the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission no
later than 150 days after the Closing Date (such 150th day being the "FILING
DEADLINE"), and (ii) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Exchange Offer Registration Statement to become effective no later than 250
days after the Closing Date (such 250th day being the "EFFECTIVENESS
DEADLINE"). The Exchange Offer shall be on the appropriate form permitting (i)
registration of the Exchange Notes to be offered in exchange for the Initial
Notes that are Transfer Restricted Securities and (ii) resales of Exchange
Notes by Broker-Dealers that tendered into the Exchange Offer Initial Notes
that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes
acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates) as contemplated
by Section 3(c) below.

         (b) The Company and the Guarantors shall use all commercially
reasonable efforts to cause the Exchange Offer Registration Statement to be
effective continuously, and shall keep the Exchange Offer open for a period of
not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state
securities laws to Consummate the Exchange Offer; provided, however, that in
no event shall such period be less than 20 Business Days. The Company and the
Guarantors shall cause the Exchange Offer to comply with all applicable
federal and state securities laws. No securities other than the Exchange Notes
shall be included in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement. The Company
and the Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the
Exchange Offer to be Consummated on the earliest practicable date after the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement has become effective, but in no event
later than 30 Business Days thereafter, or longer, if required by the federal
securities laws (such 30th (or longer) day being the "CONSUMMATION DEADLINE").

         (c) The Company shall include a "Plan of Distribution" section in the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement and indicate
therein that any Broker-Dealer who holds Transfer Restricted Securities that
were acquired for the account of such Broker-Dealer as a result of
market-making activities or other trading activities (other than Initial Notes
acquired directly from the Company or any Affiliate of the Company), may
exchange such Transfer Restricted Securities pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
Such "Plan of Distribution" section shall also contain all other information
with respect to such sales by such Broker-Dealers that the Commission may
require in order to permit such sales pursuant thereto, but such "Plan of
Distribution" shall not name any such Broker-Dealer or disclose the amount of
Transfer Restricted Securities held by any such Broker-Dealer, except to the
extent required by the Commission as a result of a change in policy, rules or
regulations after the date of this Agreement. See the Shearman & Sterling
no-action letter (available July 2, 1993).

         Because such Broker-Dealer may be deemed to be an "underwriter"
within the meaning of the Act and must, therefore, deliver a prospectus
meeting the requirements of the Act in connection with its initial sale of any
Exchange Notes received by such Broker-Dealer in the Exchange Offer, the
Company and Guarantors shall permit the use of the Prospectus contained in the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement by such Broker-Dealer to satisfy such
prospectus delivery requirement. To the extent necessary to ensure that the
Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is available
for sales of Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers, the Company and the Guarantors
agree to use all commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented, amended and
current as required by and subject to the provisions of Sections 6(a) and (c)
hereof and subject to any applicable Suspension Period and in conformity with
the requirements of this Agreement, the Act and the policies, rules and
regulations of the Commission as announced from time to time, for a period of
180 days from the date on which the Exchange Offer is Consummated or such
shorter period ending on the date when all Transfer Restricted Securities
covered by such Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto;
provided, however, that if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement ceases to
be effective during any Suspension Period, such 180-day period shall be
extended by the number of days such Suspension Period continued. The Company
and the Guarantors shall provide sufficient copies of the latest version of
such Prospectus to such Broker-Dealers, promptly upon request, and in no event
later than two Business Days after such request, at any time during such
period.

SECTION 4.         SHELF REGISTRATION

         (a) Shelf Registration. If (i) the Company and the Guarantors are not
(A) required to file the Exchange Offer Registration Statement or (B)
permitted to Consummate the Exchange Offer because the Exchange Offer is not
permitted by applicable law or Commission policy (after the Company and the
Guarantors have complied with the procedures set forth in Section 6(a)(i)
below) or (ii) any Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities notifies the
Company prior to 20 Business Days following Consummation of the Exchange Offer
(but not prior to the filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement)
that (A) such Holder was prohibited by law or Commission policy from
participating in the Exchange Offer, (B) such Holder may not resell the
Exchange Notes acquired by it in the Exchange Offer to the public without
delivering a prospectus and the Prospectus contained in the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by
such Holder or (C) such Holder is a Broker-Dealer and holds Initial Notes
acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates, then the Company
and the Guarantors shall:

                  (x) use all commercially reasonable efforts on or prior to
45 days after the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Company determines
that the Exchange Offer Registration Statement will not be or cannot be, as
the case may be, filed as a result of clause (a)(i) above and (ii) the date on
which the Company receives the notice specified in clause (a)(ii) above (45
days after such earlier date, the "FILING DEADLINE"), to file a shelf
registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act (which may be an
amendment to the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (including the
Prospectus included therein and all amendments and supplements thereto
(including post-effective amendments) and all exhibits and material
incorporated by reference therein, the "SHELF REGISTRATION STATEMENT")),
relating to all Transfer Restricted Securities, and

                  (y) use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause such
Shelf Registration Statement to become effective on or prior to 75 days after
the Filing Deadline for the Shelf Registration Statement (such 75th day, the
"EFFECTIVENESS DEADLINE").

         If, after the Company and the Guarantors have filed an Exchange Offer
Registration Statement that satisfies the requirements of Section 3(a) above,
the Company and the Guarantors are required to file and make effective a Shelf
Registration Statement solely because the Exchange Offer is not permitted
under applicable federal law (i.e., clause (a)(i)(B) above), then the filing
of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement shall be deemed to satisfy the
requirements of clause (x) above; provided that, in such event, the Company
and the Guarantors shall remain obligated to meet the Effectiveness Deadline
set forth in clause (y).

         To the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration
Statement is available for sales of Transfer Restricted Securities by the
Holders thereof entitled to the benefit of this Section 4(a) and the other
securities required to be registered therein pursuant to Section 6(b)(ii)
hereof, the Company and the Guarantors shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement required by this Section 4(a)
continuously effective, supplemented, amended and current as required by and
subject to the provisions of Sections 6(b) and (c) hereof and subject to any
Suspension Period and in conformity with the requirements of this Agreement,
the Act and the policies, rules and regulations of the Commission as announced
from time to time, for a period of two years (as extended pursuant to Section
6(d) hereof) following the Closing Date, or such shorter period as will
terminate when all Transfer Restricted Securities covered by such Shelf
Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto or when all Initial
Notes or Exchange Notes cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities.

         (b) Provision by Holders of Certain Information in Connection with
the Shelf Registration Statement. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities
may include any of its Transfer Restricted Securities in any Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to this Agreement unless and until such Holder
furnishes to the Company in writing, within 15 days after receipt of a request
therefor, the information specified in Item 507 or 508 of Regulation S-K, as
applicable, of the Act, or other information reasonably requested by the
Company and required by Regulation S-K of the Act, for use in connection with
any Shelf Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus
included therein. No Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities shall be
entitled to liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5 hereof unless and until
such Holder shall have provided all such information. Each selling Holder
agrees to promptly furnish additional information required to be disclosed in
order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such
Holder not materially misleading.

SECTION 5.         LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

         If (i) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is not
filed with the Commission on or prior to the applicable Filing Deadline, (ii)
any such Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the
Commission on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (iii) the
Exchange Offer has not been Consummated on or prior to the Consummation
Deadline or (iv) any Registration Statement required by this Agreement is
filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective or
fail to be usable for its intended purpose, except during any Suspension
Period (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through (iv), a
"REGISTRATION DEFAULT"), then the Company and the Guarantors hereby jointly
and severally agree to pay, subject to Section 4(b) hereof, to each Holder of
Transfer Restricted Securities affected thereby liquidated damages in an
amount equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Transfer Restricted
Securities held by such Holder for each day that the Registration Default
continues for the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of
such Registration Default. The amount of the liquidated damages shall increase
by an additional 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities with respect to each subsequent 90-day period until all
Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of liquidated
damages equal to 1.00% per annum of the principal amount of Transfer
Restricted Securities; provided that the Company and the Guarantors shall in
no event be required to pay liquidated damages for more than one Registration
Default at any given time. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth
herein, (1) upon filing of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or,
if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (i) above,
(2) upon the effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration Statement
(and/or, if applicable, the Shelf Registration Statement), in the case of (ii)
above, (3) upon Consummation of the Exchange Offer, in the case of (iii)
above, or (4) upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to the
Registration Statement or an additional Registration Statement that causes the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement (and/or, if applicable, the Shelf
Registration Statement) to again be declared effective or made usable in the
case of (iv) above, the liquidated damages payable with respect to the
Transfer Restricted Securities as a result of such clause (i), (ii), (iii) or
(iv), as applicable, shall cease accruing.

         All accrued liquidated damages shall be paid to the Holders entitled
thereto, in the manner provided for the payment of interest in the Indenture,
on each Interest Payment Date, as more fully set forth in the Indenture and
the Notes. Notwithstanding the fact that any securities for which liquidated
damages are due cease to be Transfer Restricted Securities, all obligations of
the Company and the Guarantors to pay liquidated damages with respect to
securities shall survive until such time as such obligations with respect to
such securities shall have been satisfied in full.

SECTION 6.         REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

         (a) Exchange Offer Registration Statement. In connection with the
Exchange Offer, the Company and the Guarantors, and in the case of clause
(z)(ii) of this Section 6(a), each Holder (as applicable), shall (x) comply
with all applicable provisions of Section 6(c) below, (y) use all commercially
reasonable efforts to effect such exchange and to permit the resale of
Exchange Notes by Broker-Dealers that properly tendered in the Exchange Offer
Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own account as a result
of its market-making activities or other trading activities (other than
Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or any of its Affiliates)
being sold in accordance with the intended method or methods of distribution
thereof, and (z) comply with all of the following provisions:

            (i) If, following the date hereof there has been announced a
     change in Commission policy with respect to exchange offers such as the
     Exchange Offer, that in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Company
     raises a substantial question as to whether the Exchange Offer is
     permitted by applicable federal law, the Company and the Guarantors
     hereby agree either to (x) seek a no-action letter or other favorable
     decision from the Commission allowing the Company and the Guarantors to
     Consummate an Exchange Offer for such Transfer Restricted Securities or
     (y) file, in accordance with Section 4(a) hereof, a Shelf Registration
     Statement to permit the registration and/or resale of the Transfer
     Restricted Securities that would otherwise be covered by the Exchange
     Offer Registration Statement but for the announcement of a change in
      Commission policy. In the case of clause (x) above, the Company and the
     Guarantors hereby agree to pursue the issuance of such a decision to the
     Commission staff level, but shall not be required to take commercially
     unreasonable actions in connection therewith. In connection with the
     foregoing, the Company and the Guarantors hereby agree to take all such
     other reasonable actions as may be requested by the Commission or
     otherwise required in connection with the issuance of such decision,
     including without limitation (A) participating in telephonic conferences
     with the Commission, (B) delivering to the Commission staff an analysis
     prepared by counsel to the Company setting forth the legal bases, if any,
     upon which such counsel has concluded that such an Exchange Offer should
     be permitted and (C) diligently pursuing a resolution (which need not be
     favorable) by the Commission staff.

            (ii) As a condition to its participation in the Exchange Offer,
     each Holder of Transfer Restricted Securities (including, without
     limitation, any Holder who is a Broker-Dealer) shall furnish, upon the
     request of the Company (which may be contained in the letter of
     transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement),
     prior to the Consummation of the Exchange Offer, a written representation
     to the Company and the Guarantors (which may be contained in the letter
     of transmittal contemplated by the Exchange Offer Registration Statement)
     to the effect that (A) it is not an Affiliate of the Company, (B) it is
     not engaged in, and does not intend to engage in, and has no arrangement
     or understanding with any person to participate in, a distribution of the
     Exchange Notes to be issued in the Exchange Offer, (C) it is acquiring
     the Exchange Notes in its ordinary course of business and (D) only if
     such Holder is a Broker-Dealer that will receive Exchange Notes in
     exchange for Initial Notes that such Broker-Dealer acquired for its own
     account as a result of market-making or other trading activities, it will
     deliver a Prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any sale of
     such Exchange Notes. As a condition to its participation in the Exchange
     Offer each Holder using the Exchange Offer to participate in a
     distribution of the Exchange Notes shall acknowledge and agree that, if
     the resales are of Exchange Notes obtained by such Holder in exchange for
     Initial Notes acquired directly from the Company or an Affiliate thereof,
     it (1) could not, under Commission policy as in effect on the date of
     this Agreement, rely on the position of the Commission enunciated in
     Morgan Stanley and Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital
     Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the
     Commission's letter to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and
     similar no-action letters (including, if applicable, any no-action letter
     obtained pursuant to clause (i) above), and (2) must comply with the
     registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Act in
     connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary
     resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement
     containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507
     or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K.

            (iii) Prior to effectiveness of the Exchange Offer Registration
     Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall, upon request of the
     Commission, provide a supplemental letter to the Commission (A) stating
     that the Company and the Guarantors are registering the Exchange Offer in
     reliance on the position of the Commission enunciated in Exxon Capital
     Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley and Co.,
     Inc. (available June 5, 1991) as interpreted in the Commission's letter
     to Shearman & Sterling dated July 2, 1993, and, if applicable, any
     no-action letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, (B) including a
     representation that neither the Company nor any Guarantor has entered
     into any arrangement or understanding with any Person to distribute the
     Exchange Notes to be received in the Exchange Offer and that, to the best
     of the Company's and each Guarantor's information and belief, each Holder
     participating in the Exchange Offer is acquiring the Exchange Notes in
     its ordinary course of business and has no arrangement or understanding
     with any Person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes
     received in the Exchange Offer and (C) any other undertaking or
     representation required by the Commission as set forth in any no-action
     letter obtained pursuant to clause (i) above, if applicable.

         (b) Shelf Registration Statement. In connection with the Shelf
Registration Statement, the Company and the Guarantors shall:

            (i) comply with all the provisions of Section 6(c) below and use
