Provexis plc – the company behind the UK’s leading endurance sports nutrition brand SiS – has extended its distribution into two further national UK retailers, the major supermarket multiple Sainsbury’s and the high street pharmacy chain Boots.
Under the new distribution deal, Sainsbury’s will stock a range of SiS products nationally across the UK from October, while Boots is now stocking the award-winning range of SiS isotonic Go Gels in a range of stores nationally.
Stephen Moon, Chief Executive of Provexis, said “We are delighted to extend our distribution footprint further through both Sainsbury’s and Boots. SiS products are well known with elite athletes and now increasingly used by serious endurance sports participants. These new outlets mean that SiS users have a greater choice of where to buy their SiS products.
“It is also easier for all sports participants to have greater access to leading nutrition technology to help them when they exercise, train and compete. The products used by Olympians are the same products on the shelves.”
Sainsbury’s and Boots joins the long list of outlets where SiS products are available including other major supermarkets, Tesco and Waitrose, and many specialist cycling, triathlon and running outlets.
SiS produces sports nutrition for professional and serious sport participants and has to date helped break world records as well as winning Olympic Gold medals and World Championships. As the company notes, ‘the efficacy of the products and the credibility of the science is the reason behind why SiS has unprecedented usage amongst the professional world.’ The range includes patented Go Gels – billed the world’s only isotonic gels to deliver fast energy without the need for water.
SiS supports teams and individuals in various endurance sports but has cycling at its heart. (SiS is also the Official Supplier of Sports Drinks and Sports Nutrition to the GB Rowing Team.)
SiS (Science in Sport) provides athletes with a range of nutritional products that help them to perform at their best. It ensures that products are safe for athletes to use and therefore has products externally validated by a world class sports doping control laboratory:
- All products are made at an Informed Sport accredited facility to certify that ingredients are tested for banned substances.
- SiS is ISO 9001:2008UKAS accredited standard (registered number 6854). This means that it is proven that SiS has stringent policies and risk assessment structures, to ensure that no banned substance is allowed onto the manufacturing site.
SiS is owned by AIM-listed Provexis plc, ‘a business that develops, licenses and markets scientifically-proven functional food and sports nutrition technologies.’
