Healthspan Partnership: British Athletics

Healthspan has been providing British Athletics with high-quality supplements from Healthspan Elite, its sports nutrition brand, for five years.

Healthspan works closely with a number of British Athletics members, including nutritionist Nigel Mitchell.

In February 2021, Healthspan became British Athletics' Official Sports Nutrition Supplier. Through the partnership, high-performance athletes on the Olympic and Paralympic World Class Programme (WCP) will be able to access high-quality, batch-tested and Informed Sport-accredited vitamins and supplements to support their nutrition needs.

What is British Athletics?

British Athletics is responsible for overseeing athletes and their development, athletics officials, and the governance of athletics events in the UK. Such events include track and field, road running, cross country running, and racewalking.

British Athletics has developed to become the most successful and robust athletics governing body in the world, responsible for a world-class major events series and overseeing the performances of the British Athletics Olympic and Paralympic teams.

British Athletics also plays an important role in creating mass appeal for athletics through televised events and encouraging participation, regardless of age, ability or background.

Commenting on the partnership, Tommy Yule, Head of Performance Sport at British Athletics, said: "Good nutrition is an essential part of an athlete's daily routine, which assists their training, health, recovery and performance. So, it's excellent news that through this partnership athletes on the British Athletics World Class Programme have the opportunity to access a comprehensive range of high-quality, batch-tested sport supplements to support their nutrition needs."

Healthspan Sales and Marketing Director, Chris Fisher, added: "For several years we've been supplying Britain's best athletes with our batch-tested Elite vitamins and supplements. It feels natural to now make our relationship official, and we're delighted to have been chosen as British Athletics' preferred sports nutrition supplier.
