We're Team DSM

How long can you hold on? That question is at the core of elite cycling. The right nutrition optimizes the speed and efficiency of nutrient uptake and helps maintain the body’s durability and fitness over time, allowing athletes to function at their peak for longer.

Team DSM relies on nutrition to maximize individual endurance, with personalized nutrition plans from DSM helping riders determine when, what, and how much to eat, to keep them performing at their best each day. 

• Team DSM benefits from DSM’s access to the Mixfit digital platform. This app uses individual rider data to tailor exact nutrition intake; fuelling them to perform to the best of their abilities on the bike.
• PeptoPro® — a peptide derived from dairy protein that contains all 20 amino acids, to support protein synthesis during exercise.

Elite cycling pushes riders to their physiological limits. Supporting athletes’ immune systems through optimised nutrition is mission critical to Team DSM’s success.

• HiMO™ Blend 5 — a novel blend of five HiMOs which works as an advanced prebiotic, supporting beneficial gut bacteria and a balanced microbiota.
• Lacto GG® — Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG is one of the most studied and reliable probiotic strains. Lacto GG® improves the balance of good bacteria in the microbiome.
• Quali® Vitamins — DSM’s Quali® range of vitamins help to support overall health and immunity. For Team DSM we have tailor-made a high-quality premix multivitamin to give a daily boost of the body’s essential nutrients.
• Quali®-B — DSM’s Vitamin B12 helps the body convert food into glucose, which is used to produce energy and maintain normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 also contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
• Quali®-C — Vitamin C supports maintenance of the normal function of the immune system during and after intense physical exercise. It also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 

Today’s athletes are rigorous about recovery—from the dehydration, fatigue, and tissue damage of competition, but also from illness and injury. The right nutrition can increase the speed and efficacy with which the body heals itself and boost performance throughout the year.

DSM’s nutritional solutions offer Team DSM support across all aspects of recovery. 

• CanolaPRO® — an easily digestible plant protein that is sustainable and more amino-complete than other plant proteins. It’s also rich in cysteine, which may help protect against future exercise-induced muscle damage.
• Quali®-C — Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage.
• PeptoPro® — a peptide derived from dairy protein that contains all 20 amino acids. Science shows it may ensure a quicker update of protein for muscle repair and decreased Delayed Muscle Onset Soreness.
