At CytoSport™ , it's our mission to provide the highest quality nutritional products
to professional and amateur athletes striving to reach their potential.
We're serious about our commitment to our customers and the quality of
our products.
We wholly own our manufacturing and packaging equipment and facilities, so that, from raw material to finished products, we control the process.
We don't merely put our label on someone else's bottle or jug.
Controlling these factors is just one example of how we guarantee your
100% satisfaction.
CytoSport™ was founded in 1998 by the father/son team of Greg and Mike Pickett.
Since then it has grown into a premier manufacturer of sports-oriented
nutritional products that address the needs of athletes and active
lifestyle individuals at every level. With every product and every decision, we pursue quality, taste and the athlete, in mind.
When industry experts and scientists bring us an idea, we listen. When your performance inspires us, we act. We’re about innovation.
Taste is at the forefront of everything we do. People expect CytoSport
products to work and taste good. That’s become a CytoSport™ promise. We
listen to our bodies and, knowing you listen to yours, we listen to you.
At CytoSport™ , we feel fortunate to be a part of your success!
To help you do what you do best. To help you achieve goals. To help you
live healthy. To help you get a better time. To finish the race. To put
up more weight. To have a “good run.” To leave the gym or practice
feeling like there is still more in you.
Our motto at CytoSport™ is “Driven by Science – Inspired by Performance”; We
rely on science to create the best products we can. Thank you for
inspiring us to do so. Be safe. Play hard. Keep it up. CytoSport™ will
do the same.
Our
150,000 sq ft. state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is where we
produce all of our powder products and pre-blends for ready-to-drink
products. It is also where we exercise complete control over our brands
– from what goes into the mix to what goes into the package.
This
setup provides a critical speed to market advantage over the
competition. And it gives our devoted following of consumers – high
school, college, pro athletes and coaches alike – peace of mind knowing
the safety, efficacy, and authenticity of the CytoSport brands is a
given.
CytoSport™ products are a completely safe, effective, and legal alternative trusted by athletes worldwide who demand the highest level of performance from themselves and from the nutritional support products they use.
Mike Bottom,
Former Co-Head Men's Swimming Coach at the Cal-Berkeley, who coached
athletes from five different countries in the 2000 Olympic games in
Sydney, stands behind CytoSport products. His athletes medaled seven
times at the Sydney games. Mike's athletes have also won NCAA
championships and have been tested by the NCAA drug testing board. His
athletes have been training with CytoSport™ products since our inception.
Dr. George Brooks PhD
sits on the board of advisors for CytoSport™ . During his graduate
studies at the University of Michigan, his extensive research in the
areas of "Oxygen Debt" and "Anaerobic Threshold" lead to several
hypotheses and fundamental revisions in understanding of the metabolic
response to exercise. The knowledge gained in these efforts led to the
invention of PolyLactate and the formulation of the original CytoSport™ .
Dr.
Brooks was recognized for his lifetime of outstanding scientific
contributions related to sports medicine and exercise science at the
2007 Awards and Tributes Committee of the American College of Sports
Medicine. He was awarded the Honor Award at the Annual Meeting in New
Orleans, Louisiana. The ACSM Honor Award is the highest award of the College given to only one individual each year.
