SKY + CNP= full trust.

You have often heard that to maintain optimal health and ensure a healthy intake of vitamins and minerals, 5 fruit and veg per day are recommended per normal adult. This is based on an average calorific intake of 2500.  An endurance cyclist often uses 6 – 9000 calories per day.  Therefore the vitamin demand is massively greater for the athlete meaning most will use supplements to make up the shortfall the body will demand.  Most take energy drinks to help supply this huge amount of fuel required, and a protein recovery drink to enable the body to repeat it the next day.

There in lies a grey area in the supplement industry, where the ingredients are rarely detailed in full on the packaging, therefore athletes must trust the manufacturer to ensure their produce does not include any of the 192 banned substances or a compound derived from one.

BikePure are encouraging all companies to guarantee their produce is assured clean and safe, thus building trust and safeguarding the cyclist from an accidental career tarnishing/ending- positive drug test.

The latest company to guarantee its products are CNP, which sponsor team SKY. A relatively new company, they are leading their marketing campaign with the assurance that 

“All clean and drug tested…good to ask though as it’s an important issue and I know very few companies actually follow the stringent rules we do…. hence the reason why GB and Sky have our products.”

We hope it is a small step to ensure the integrity of the supplement industry and the protection of clean athletes.We believe that all cyclists should use companies that respect their customers enough, to ensure all their products trust worthy.
