Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu, the former Wales, West Brom and Reading striker, is helping Salford City push for promotion by providing players with his innovative turmeric shots, from The Turmeric Co.
Robson-Kanu was capped 46 times by his country during an impressive professional career, and is widely known for scoring the winning goal for Wales against Belgium in the quarter finals of Euro 2016.
Since leaving West Brom, however, he has focused his attention firmly on his award-winning business; The Turmeric Co., which is widely regarded as the UK’s leading producer of natural raw turmeric shots. Each product is based on a unique recipe which includes black pepper extract and flax oil to increase the bioavailability of the active ingredient curcumin, which is found in raw turmeric root.
The shots, which come in four flavours (Raw Turmeric Original, Raw Turmeric & Ginger, Raw Turmeric & Beetroot, and Raw Turmeric Vitamin C & D3), are proven to boost immunity, improve recovery rates, and reduce fatigue. The Turmeric Co. now provides a growing number of professional football clubs and athletes with its performance-aiding products.
The ‘Ammies’ become the second EFL League Two club to partner with The Turmeric Co., providing their players with nutritionally-dense shots. This means the likes of Conor McAleny, Matt Smith, and Elliot Watt will now benefit from the same daily support already being enjoyed by players at a host of Premier League clubs.
In a bid to save his footballing career 15 years ago, Robson-Kanu and his father developed The Turmeric Co.’s base formula as a natural alternative to heal two serious injuries that he picked up early in his playing days.
Having experienced the physically demanding nature of an EFL promotion bid himself, Robson-Kanu is keen to help Salford City’s playing squad as they move into the business end of the 2022/23 campaign.
Robson-Kanu, Founder and CEO at The Turmeric Co., said: “Salford City are in a great position in the league, and I know that as the season nears its climax, everyone at the club will be hoping the team make that final successful push. It’s all about marginal gains at this point, and our nourishing formula will give the players that edge from a nutritional perspective.
“At this stage of the season, EFL games come thick and fast, and how quickly players can recover from the physical demands of the sport is more important than ever.
“Our shots help aid recovery, minimise muscle soreness, and reduce fatigue, so I’m confident that the team will thrive both on and off the pitch. We’re delighted to be working with Salford City and providing the club players with extra support.
“The fact Salford City are the second League Two club to partner with us shows how serious the club is about providing elite support to the squad. It’s a great time to be working together.”
James Parr, Head of Sports Science at Salford City FC added: “We are really excited to be using The Turmeric Co. which provides an amazing product range of nature’s most beneficial foods.
“Turmeric has several purported health benefits, that include reduced inflammation; it is a source of antioxidants; it improves exercise recovery (research suggests that the intake within 36 hours after a match attenuated DOMS and muscle function deficits) and also provides immunity support.
“The lads will use these shots as part of their everyday protocol to keep them on the field and pushing themselves to their absolute maximum. Their recovery is absolutely vital to allow them to keep performing week-in, week-out.”
The Turmeric Co.’s award-winning shots, which recently received approval from the Royal Osteoporosis Society, will now be provided to Salford City’s players as part of their daily nutritional support.
The Turmeric Co. also partners and supports players at rugby league neighbours Salford Red Devils.
