4. Teasing testimonials ​

We’re always looking for new members to join the sports nutrition community. If you’re not convinced by NutraIngredients’ pitch, here’s a few attendees from past years and their experiences of the Summit:

“Can’t recommend this webinar enough. Really focused and current with great credible experts,”​ says Beth Berry, Business Development Corodinator at Salutivia.

“Very useful in regard to the statistics. Being aware of the growing interest of the general population in the consumption of supplementation based on the specifications of the microbiota was mind opening,”​ adds Rene de la O, MD of Kultivus.

“This webinar was very informative and will further help in the persuasion of pre/pro/post biotics’ commercial benefits to our company also helping provide clearer goals for these kind of products in our sports nutrition range,”​ concludes Siobhan Downing, EU Food Regulatory Officer at The Hut Group.
