Success 32Gi is delivering success to athletes with its innovative product range in the endurance supplement industry Writer: Phoebe Calver | Project Manager: Joshua Mann

016 has been full to the brim with progress for 32Gi, including the introduction of innovative products, high profile athlete endorsement and event sponsors which will continue to grow in 2017. Combined with the exponential growth the business has reached over the past three years of 30 percent yearon-year, it is an exciting time for the Company.

With a continued focus on achieving an innovative product range, 2017 will see a big push for an offering internationally and the extension of existing ranges.

As a leading endurance supplement provider in South Africa, 32Gi has centred its focus on providing customers with high quality balanced and sustainable energy supplements; empowering them with the knowledge needed for healthier nutritional options.

“We understand that not all athletes are created equal, what works for one athlete does not necessarily work

for another and each has different requirements,” says the Company on its website. “An athlete’s nutrition intake will depend entirely on the kind of session he or she is doing and these are not always performance based.”

With the success it has experienced over the years, 32Gi has differentiated itself from others in the sports nutrition industry with its keen focus on health.

“Science has shown that during high intensity exercise, glycogen (natural carbohydrate) stores are mainly utilised to provide energy to the muscles. However, we think about what a controlled pace and intensity where fat can be utilised as a primary energy source,” the Company adds.

It places a high precedence on the athlete, harnessing the powerful natural energy stores that are already there, which will then depend on the way he or she fuels themselves before and during an exercise session.

“When an athlete is performing at a controlled pace they have the ability to utilise their fat stores for energy and this can only be done properly by consuming the appropriate types and amounts

of carbohydrates and nutrients to support this,” the Company explains.

“Science has demonstrated that a fat efficient athlete will use a larger amount of fat for energy over a range of intensities assisting in more glycogen which is a benefit in endurance sport.”

32Gi utilises a blend of unique carbohydrates to ensure stability for its customers whether they are performing at low or high intensity; the product range designed centrally around the athlete’s unique needs while guiding them with support and knowledge to their best fuelling strategy.
