Team dsm-firmenich PostNL

and dsm-firmenich have a shared goal

Achieving progress through health and nutrition

To achieve true progress, every second counts. Every turn of the pedal. Every sip. Every bite. Every spray. And it’s thanks to our three forces that we can bring this progress to life. These are: the essential, the desirable, and the sustainable.

The essential is about giving riders what they need to perform at their best. 

The desirable is about making sure riders want to use the products that will best support their performance.

The sustainable is about ensuring these products are consistently and responsibly sourced. Plus, making sure they support riders’ performance better than widely-available, less sustainable ones.

By championing

As dsm-firmenich, we give our riders what they need to perform at their best at every step of their journey with responsibly sourced performance-supporting products.

Focus

Reaction time. Visual acuity. Performance under pressure. Brain health is critical to achieving optimal performance.

We work hand in hand with Team dsm-firmenich PostNL to support riders’ focus on the road. That includes enhancing vision quality with FloraGLO® and OPTISHARP®. And improving essential brain and eye health with life’s™OMEGA: a plant-based omega-3 supplement without any fishy taste.

Endurance

How long can you hold on? This question sits at the core of elite cycling. And fueling athletes correctly throughout the day is central to the answer. The right nutrition optimizes nutrient uptake and helps maintain the body’s durability and fitness, so athletes can perform at their peak for longer.

We’ve supported Team dsm-firmenich PostNL’s nutrition for several years. Now, to fuel even higher performance, we’re co-developing tailored up4® sports nutrition solutions. With a strong scientific foundation, these solutions combine the power of taste, texture, and format with high-quality, innovative ingredients.

Resilience

Riders’ bodies are pushed to their limits by elite cycling. Given the extreme demands they face, fighting off illness is mission-critical. Less illness means less stress on resources. The right nutrition boosts riders’ immune systems to build resilience: from gut health to muscle strength.

Working like a probiotic, HiMO® Blend 5, a human-identical milk oligosaccharide, enhances gut health and immunity while mitigating digestive distress damage. It supports beneficial gut bacteria and balanced microbiota. Our probiotic solutions also improve the balance of good bacteria in the microbiome, while our Quali® range of vitamins supports overall health and immunity.

Recovery

Fundamental to cycling is recovery. Not just from dehydration and exertion, but from the injuries and illnesses that continually threaten athletes’ fitness. The right nutrition accelerates and optimizes recovery, boosting performance throughout the year.

Our nutritional solutions support Team dsm-firmenich PostNL with all aspects of recovery. For example, Vertis™ CanolaPRO®, a high-quality plant-based protein that contains all the amino acids needed for muscle growth. PeptoPro®, a peptide derived from dairy protein that also contains all 20 amino acids. And life’s™OMEGA, a plant-based omega-3 supplement that’s more sustainable than fish oil.

Why are we partners?

Elite cycling is the ultimate stress test

With races measured in kilometers but victory won by millimetres, every detail in elite cycling is monitored and managed in the quest to help riders maximize their talent. When it comes to progress, there’s nowhere to hide. And with riders pushing themselves to the limits of human performance, elite cycling is the ultimate environment in which to test the latest and greatest innovations.

We share a commitment to science and data

dsm-firmenich and team dsm-firmenich PostNL are dedicated to evidence-based progress. Our cyclists and scientists work hand-in-hand to break new ground. Through advanced measurement across all aspects of focus, endurance, resilience, and recovery, we discover new opportunities to enhance performance.

Ours is a partnership of co-innovation

We rely on each other to be the best we can be. Together, we accelerate the innovation cycle for everyone’s benefit. dsm-firmenich provides riders with cutting-edge products to help them realise their full potential. While the riders’ feedback, insights, and data enable dsm-firmenich to see and shape the future, developing and testing solutions that improve the health and performance of people across the world. Together, this is how we bring progress to life.

Our team are delighted to work hand-in-hand with team dsm-firmenich PostNL to develop ground-breaking products, insights, and innovations that help them ride to success.
