Whether on stage or in the courtroom, Ronnie Coleman knows how to win. On January 15, 2025, Coleman’s supplement company RCBA Nutraceuticals secured a hefty $15.4 million verdict after a five-week jury trial concluded in Sanford, Seminole County, Florida against Western Packaging Inc. and Polyfirst Packaging Inc.
Ronnie Coleman‘s supplement line, the ‘Ronnie Coleman Signature Series,’ is owned by his company, RCBA Nutraceuticals. RCBA also aims to collect interest, attorneys’ fees, and costs, which would eclipse the $5 million mark.
The case leveled allegations that Western Packaging had committed fraud, deceptive practices, and breach of contract due to its claims that it could effectively manufacture specialized zipped bags for Coleman’s RCBA protein supplements.
The packaging company marketed itself as having extensive experience but outsourced the production to Polyfirst Packaging Inc., which also lacked the expertise in producing these specialized zipper bags. Since the products were faulty and leaked protein powder, they caused major financial damage to RCBA.

While the battle for justice has been ‘long and exhausting,’ Coleman is happy to report that his company secured a major win in the courtroom.
“After years of pain, struggle, and a relentless fight, justice has prevailed (near completely). We secured a $15.4+ million jury verdict against Western Packaging, Inc. and Polyfirst Packaging, Inc.
This is a victory not just for Ronnie Coleman Signature Series, but for everyone who believes in doing what’s right and standing up for themselves. This battle has been long and exhausting, but it’s been worth every ounce of strength, because at the end of the day, the truth is what matters most.”
He was thankful for his legal team who helped make this triumph possible.
“I want to take a moment to thank my incredible legal team for their unwavering support and dedication. Special shoutout to CTL, William Clayton, Riley Kennedy, Miguel Aristizabal & Jenny Camacho. You’ve all played a crucial role in this epic win, and I’ll forever be grateful.”
“I also want to thank my family, my friends, and every single one of you who stood by me through this journey. Your belief in me, your encouragement, and your support kept me going when I wanted to give up.
This fight was never just about me. It was about justice. It was about standing up for what’s right. I will keep fighting to make sure we get every dollar we are owed.”
Even in retirement, Coleman continues to prove why he was such a dominant Mr. Olympia winner, never backing down from a fight. He remains optimistic about the future, focusing on the expansion and continued growth of RCBA and the Ronnie Coleman Signature Series.
