Muscletech® is known as a leading brand in the science nutrition space recognised for its research with scientific experts to identify and utilise science backed ingredients in their products to bring unique benefits to athletes and fitness enthusiasts around the world. LeanBiome® will be incorporated in Muscletech Nitro Tech Ripped range, a premium protein powder designed to support athletes who want to lose fat and build lean muscle and will be launched in Europe and the United Kingdom across multiple e-commerce sites and distribution channels.
LeanBiome® is a scientifically formulated sports nutrition ingredient which has been developed by OptiBiotix to support athletes seeking to increase lean muscle mass and to change their body composition. LeanBiome® contains a patented combination of fibres, prebiotics and minerals developed to increase the microbiome diversity of athletes on a high protein diet. A diverse microbiome is important in harvesting essential nutrients from the diet and has been linked to improved health and wellbeing and increased resilience to disease. Many researchers now believe that a diverse microbiome is an essential factor in achieving physical fitness, which was previously thought to be achievable solely through a healthy diet and regular exercise. This is supported by the growing scientific evidence of a link between the microbiome and athletic performance which suggest that optimizing an athletes gut microbiome could improve and athletes stamina, lower inflammation, and support physical fitness (Frontiers | Editorial: Nutrition to support gut health and the microbiome in athletes (frontiersin.org)
Stephen OHara, CEO of OptiBiotix Health plc commented: "We are very pleased to announce the launch of LeanBiome® with such a well-known and internationally respected sports brand such as Muscletech®. LeanBiome® has been formulated to support anyone interested in improving their fitness for leisure or the elite athlete. It is supported by multiple published clinical studies which show it helps reduce body fat around the waist and hips, improving body leanness whilst enhancing the diversity of the gut microbiome to improve stamina and overall fitness.
"LeanBiome® is a unique product which is increasingly being recognised by major sports brands as a key differentiator from existing products and has the potential to have a major impact in the sports nutrition and health and fitness markets."
