SiS launch new innovative REGO + Fruitflow gel
Science in Sport (SiS), leaders in new product innovation in endurance sport nutrition, has added SiS REGO + Fruitflow to its award-winning range. SiS REGO + Fruitflow is an innovative gel, the first of its kind in the UK, set to change the way endurance athletes treat recovery by helping shorten recovery time after intense exercise.
Available as an easy to digest recovery gel, SiS REGO + Fruitflow has been specially designed to help reduce muscle inflammation experienced through intense exercise, enabling athletes to enjoy shorter recovery times and compete and train to a much higher level than they were previously able to do.
Luke Heeney, New Product Director at SiS said, "Our commitment at SiS to helping athletes perform better through effective, scientifically underpinned nutrition has led us to launch this new recovery gel. We are delighted to be adding it to our successful REGO recovery range. SiS REGO + Fruitflow is an innovative product, taken before exercise, which enables athletes to train longer, harder and more efficiently, which in turn promises a greater level of performance."
Stephen Moon, Managing Director SiS, said: "Since Provexis purchased SiS in 2011 we have been very keen to utilise the unique Fruitflow technology within SiS products. With SIS REGO+Fruitflow we are confident that our products will continue to help athletes achieve their goals."
SiS provides nutritional products for preparation, performance and recovery to help endurance athletes perform at their best. The SIS range is available to buy in major supermarkets Asda, Sainsbury, Tesco and Waitrose, specialist sports stores and online at www.scienceinsport.com
