“Our proteins may offer new application solutions for the sports nutrition industry.”, says Michiel Puttman, CEO of Solanic.

PRO GO adds sustainability to our daily protein need.” comments Saskia Oort, Market Manager Nutrition of Solanic.

Saskia adds: ” We’re looking towards the general exercising consumer as a target group and intend to convey our clinicals with these people.  PRO GO  is looking for less but better consumer intake of proteins for exercising.”

“We are here at Vitafoods to meet potential partners to discuss new types of nutritional concepts” concludes Michiel Puttman.
