Fitness & Nutrition Category Overview
The Fitness & Nutrition category, identified by ID 2890, belongs to the path Health & Beauty > Health Care > Fitness & Nutrition. It is a specific classification designed for items focused on supplemental dietary intake and body fuel optimization.
This category is intended for products that support physical performance and dietary wellness. Based on examples from the US market, this includes items such as whey protein powders, plant-based protein powders, mass gainers, and collagen peptides. These products are meant for consumption to assist with muscle recovery, growth, or general health supplementation.
If your items do not fit here, they likely belong in one of the neighbouring categories under the Health Care parent, such as Medicine & Drugs, Supports & Braces, or Acupuncture. Do not place items like medical equipment, mobility aids, or wound care products here, as they have specific categories like Mobility & Accessibility or First Aid respectively. Similarly, keep diagnostic tools like Biometric Monitors in their own designated paths.
Always select the most specific subcategory if it applies to your product. Use the subcategories Vitamins & Supplements, Nutrition Bars, Nutrition Drinks & Shakes, Nutrition Gels & Chews, Nutritional Food Purées, or Tube Feeding Supplements whenever the product meets those narrower definitions.
In your feed, use the numeric ID 2890 or the full path string: Health & Beauty > Health Care > Fitness & Nutrition. While optional, providing this attribute prevents Google from incorrectly auto-categorizing your items. Remember that this field is independent of your internal product_type classification.
