Press Release:
January 26, 2009
PLEASANTON,
Calif., Jan 26, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --
Shaklee Corporation, the leading natural
nutrition company in the United States, is the
official nutrition supplier for the U.S. Ski
Team and U.S. Snowboarding throughout their
training for the 2010 Games in Vancouver,
continuing a relationship that began in 1980.
Founded in 1956, Shaklee has been supporting
elite athletes for decades -- more than 54 gold
medals have been awarded to Shaklee-powered
world-class athletes.
"We
currently use these products to enhance the
hydration status and energy requirements of our
athletes' demanding training schedules and busy
lifestyles," says Troy Flanagan, Director of
Sport Science for the U.S. Ski and Snowboarding
Association, the national governing body for the
U.S. ski and snowboarding teams. "Shaklee
nutritional supplements are the only choice for
us and are proving to be critical to our
preparation for the 2010 Games!"
Flanagan
says Shaklee products are instrumental in
allowing the teams to perform at a high level in
very rigorous conditions.
"U.S. Ski Team
athletes travel four to five months straight
each year, flying to winter conditions in many
different countries throughout the world.
Shaklee's NutriFeron(R) helps boost their immune
systems* as they push through jet lag, drastic
temperature changes, tough training, and the
stress of competition," he says.
The U.S. Ski
Team and U.S. Snowboarding use a broad
assortment of Shaklee supplements, including
Vitalizer for overall health and wellness,
NutriFeron and Defend & Resist Complex for
immune support, Cinch(R) for healthy weight
management, Shaklee Performance(R) for hydration
and endurance, Physique(R) for post workout
recovery, Joint Health Complex for healthy
joints, Joint & Muscle Pain Cream for after
those grueling workouts, and many others.*
Shaklee
products are supported by over 90 Shaklee
peer-reviewed scientific papers and are
available only through Shaklee Distributors.
"At the U.S.
Ski and Snowboarding Association (USSA), we make
sure that the supplements that our athletes
competing in the 2010 Games are taking are
extremely safe and reliable," Flanagan says.
"That's why USSA athletes are only provided with
Shaklee products, which are manufactured to the
highest standards."
Shaklee is
proud to be the official nutritional sponsor of
the U.S. Ski Team and U.S. Snowboarding, a
relationship that began over 29 years ago and
has since provided the nutritional fuel that
helped support the teams in winning 10 medals in
the 2006 Winter Games in Turin, Italy, and is
currently helping to power the ski team and
snowboarders in preparation for the 2010 Games
in Vancouver.
