Athletic & Sports Performance

Welcome to the first edition of our newsletter! Moving forward, we’ll bring you the latest news and insights and keep you in the loop about our innovative ingredient solutions.

We hope you find this newsletter informative and valuable. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future editions.

In our first newsletter we discuss all things athletic and sports performance.

The world of sports nutrition has come a long way since Thomas Hicks won the marathon at the 1904 Olympics while in medical distress, having ingested strychnine, erroneously thought to be a stimulant. To say the least, the science and quality of proper nutrition to support athletic and sports performance has improved significantly since then.

Glanbia Nutritionals has been at the forefront of this evolution, contributing to the science of nutrition that has evolved with athletes. We offer a variety of ingredient solutions that target consumers’ performance goals of strength and muscle, energy and endurance, rest and recovery, as well as mental focus and alertness goals.

Strength & Muscle - Protein is Power

Sports nutrition has unquestionably advanced as the years have gone on but the goal of gaining strength and muscle has been unwavering. Protein has long been associated with its role in muscle building, and we offer high-quality protein solutions like whey protein, a dominate protein in a performance athlete’s arsenal because it contains all nine essential amino acids for muscle recovery. We also offer amino acids like branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), the building blocks of protein which support prevention of muscle protein breakdown during exercise. Our robust portfolio of bioactive ingredient solutions, like our?Bodybuilding Bioactive? NXP-GF? to support strength and muscle, offers scientifically supported solutions targeted toward consumers seeking new products to take their workout to the next level.?

Energy & Endurance -?Caffeine & Beyond

In addition to strength and muscle, athletes are drawn to ingredients that can increase their energy and muscle endurance to support an optimal workout. Common ingredients that fall into the area of energy and endurance include branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), essential amino acids (EAAs), creatine, beta-alanine, nitric oxide, taurine, caffeine, and green tea, among others.?We offer a range of ingredients like caffeine and beta-alanine to target this goal. We also offer non-stimulant energy ingredients like beetroot and ginseng and our Bodybuilding Bioactive? FitNox??is a scientifically-supported plant-based boost in nitric oxide.

Rest & Recovery -?Protein, Amino Acids, Fluids & Electrolytes

As every athlete knows, a speedy recovery is essential to success in the next workout.?24 hours – or an hour or less in the case of an athlete in competition – isn’t a lot of time to replenish the body’s stores of necessary nutrients.?We offer solutions devoted to exercise recovery, such as protein, amino acids, fluids, and electrolytes. We also offer functionally optimized Nano-Free Solutions and Protein Cheese that support rest and recovery.

Mental Focus & Alertness -?Caffeine, L-Theanine & B-Vitamins

Athletes know that mental well-being is just as important as physical well-being. In fact, in our recent performance consumer usage & attitudinal study, 8 in 10 active consumers believed just that. We offer a robust portfolio of ingredient solutions like our?NutraShield? Triple Layer Natural Caffeine?that will be sure to boost your mental focus and alertness formulations.
