PureSport in Australia & New Zealand
Elliotts have many customers, with staff working in a hot and humid climate. These customers had health concerns about the escalating number of high sugar and high caffeine drinks consumed by employees. As a result Elliotts undertook a worldwide search to find a healthier alternative that would meet the hydration & health requirements in this market.
While on a business trip in 2008, PureSport was discovered. This low sugar, carbohydrate, protein and electrolyte drink, developed out the University of Texas, is used by a number of athletes, including World and Olympic Champion Michael Phelps.
Given the extensive research that had been undertaken on PureSport and the growing awareness of the importance of protein in both hydration and performance, we decided to bring PureSport into Australia and New Zealand. Despite PureSport being designed for athletes it presented itself as the perfect solution across the board.
In 2010, we officially launched PureSport into selected sports markets within the Australia. Since then, PureSport has become widely used within a number of sports. Many athletes and sports groups are now experiencing the benefits of using PureSport Workout and Recovery products. Athletes have seen incredible results and improvements in training and competition. Many athletes and clubs who use PureSport have won State and National titles, achieved personal bests and won age group races. The testimonials we continually receive confirm the extent to which PureSport has enabled sports people to train stronger, recover better and race faster.
PureSport is available from specialist retailers in Australia as well as online.
