“Nutrition plays such an integral part in the day-to-day life of our athletes and we embrace sports nutrition as the fourth discipline in triathlon. 6D Sports Nutrition is developed in collaboration with the Bakala Academy – Athletic Performance Center.
“Over the past decade, we have worked intensively with the Bakala Academy as a team and as a dedicated research and testing centre. We know the importance and the impact of the right sports nutrition on the performance of our athletes. The entire 6D range provides our athletes with the right fuel to achieve their goals.”
