One blend covers Vitamin C, B6, Zinc and Magnesium across muscle, recovery and immunity claims, from acerola cherry, lemon peel, guava leaf and sea water - clean enough for any sports format.

Samples are dispatched within a week, with reformulation support included - covering inclusion rates, overages and the claim wording sports formats compete on.

Buyer-side answers from our nutrition team

Frequently asked questions

Practical answers to the questions buyers ask most when specifying a natural sports nutrition premix.

Why is this blend so broad?

Because the four nutrients each carry strong, distinct sports claims - Magnesium for muscle and electrolytes, Zinc for protein synthesis and testosterone, Vitamin C for exercise immunity and collagen, B6 for protein and glycogen metabolism. One blend therefore covers performance, recovery, immunity and structural health rather than a single angle.

Does it support recovery as well as performance?

Yes. Reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal protein synthesis, electrolyte balance and collagen formation are all recovery-relevant claims carried by the blend, making it suitable for post-workout and recovery products as well as pre-workout and performance formats.

Is it suitable for sports and recovery products?

Sports drinks, protein powders, pre and post-workout supplements, capsules, energy bars, gels, functional beverages and recovery products. It dry-blends cleanly and has proven stability; for liquid and heat-processed formats Eiméar calculates overages.

Which EFSA health claims does this blend support?

53 claims in the natural variant (43 organic) under EFSA Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, grouped into:

Muscle and performance: normal muscle function, electrolyte balance, protein synthesis, testosterone maintenance (Magnesium, Zinc)

Energy and recovery: energy-yielding metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, protein, glycogen and macronutrient metabolism (Vitamin C, B6, Magnesium, Zinc)

Immunity and antioxidant: immune function including during and after intense exercise, protection from oxidative stress (Vitamin C, B6, Zinc)

Collagen and structure: all six collagen-formation claims (Vitamin C), maintenance of normal bones and teeth (Zinc, Magnesium

)Mind and hormonal: cognitive, psychological and nervous-system function, hormonal regulation (Zinc, Vitamin C, B6, Magnesium)

The complete list is in the spec sheet and confirmed for your dosage by Eiméar before label sign-off.

Is an organic version available?

Yes - an EU Organic certified variant (BB3065) providing Vitamin C, B6 and Zinc, enabling 43 claims. Wherever possible we prioritise organic sources.

What MOQ and lead times apply?

Premix blends carry a 5 kg MOQ with an approximate 4-week lead time, and a 24-month shelf life. Samples are available on request.

Reformulation support is included

Every BIOVIT wholesale order comes with full technical reformulation support at no extra cost, giving your NPD and technical teams direct access to a qualified nutritionist from brief to production.

Eiméar Sutton (RNutr MSc), our Head of Nutrition, leads the technical work on every account: equivalence mapping against your incumbent synthetic, inclusion-rate modelling, on-pack claim wording aligned to GB and EU regulation, and the small details that decide whether a synthetic-to-natural switch lands cleanly on the production line.

The result: shorter development cycles, fewer reformulation rounds, and a finished product your commercial team can stand behind.
