Port Vale FC and The Turmeric Co have announced a partnership which will see them supply the EFL League One side with its nutritious turmeric shots.
Founded by former professional footballer and 46-cap Wales international, Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson-Kanu, the award-winning brand will help to support Port Vale’s first team with their health and wellbeing through nutrition, enhancing performance and recovery with their natural raw turmeric shots for the remainder of the current season.
The Turmeric Co produces a unique range of delicious turmeric shots developed over a decade. The flavours each come with their own benefits and include Raw Turmeric Original, Raw Turmeric & Beetroot, Raw Turmeric & Ginger as well as its newest flavour, Raw Turmeric Vitamin C & D3.
The Turmeric Co’s formulas have purposefully selected ingredients such as raw turmeric root, black pepper extract and flax oil, all of which increase the bioavailability of the active ingredient found in turmeric, curcumin.
The shots will support players’ immune systems and provide a natural energy boost. Following the Raw Turmeric Vitamin C & D3 shot’s recent recognition from the Royal Osteoporosis Society, these shots have also been found to support the team’s bone health.
The Turmeric Co is the UK’s leading producer of naturally produced turmeric shots, which are used by a number of professional football clubs including fellow EFL League One sides, Fleetwood Town and Plymouth Argyle, Championship sides, Rotherham United and Luton Town as well as Premier League team Everton.
Aaron Watkin, Sports Scientist at Port Vale, said: “Given the nature of our sport and the demands we place upon them, our players need to be feeling as close to their optimal performance level as possible. These shots help with that, whether that be during the recovery process or simply a daily hit of wellness.”
Thomas ‘Hal’ Robson Kanu, Founder and CEO at The Turmeric Co, added: “We are thrilled to link with Port Vale as our first new partner for 2023. It is incredible to see that more and more professional teams now regard our formula as a must-have for their squads due to the incredible benefits that turmeric offers elite athletes.
“We are so excited to be able to engage with Port Vale’s committed fan base, expanding the power of our product across the entirety of the club. Our blends have proven as game-changers for people from all walks of life, so we’re sure that our powerful formula will give Port Vale’s players, staff and fans that extra added boost to see them through the season.”
Ritchie Bates, Port Vale FC’s Head of Commercial, added: “I am delighted to welcome The Turmeric Co to Port Vale as they become one of our valued Bronze Partners and an integral part of the players’ day-to-day nutrition.
“I look forward to working closely with the fantastic team at The Turmeric Co. over the coming months.”
