SALT
LAKE CITY, May 31, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- For 30 years
USANA, the Cellular Nutrition Company, has been a leader in its
industry. With more professional and Olympic athletes trusting
USANA with their nutritional needs than any other nutritional
supplement in the world, its impressive and diverse roster of
athletic partners continues to soar. USANA is now the official
nutritional supplement supplier of Basketball New Zealand (BBNZ),
providing NSF-certified products to the Tall Blacks, Sky Sport Tall Ferns, and respective 3x3 team
athletes.
"We are pumped and so thrilled to be working with the tremendous
athletes of Basketball New Zealand and supporting their nutritional
needs with our tested products," says David
Mulham, USANA's chief sales officer. "We look forward to
cheering them on as they represent New
Zealand in upcoming competitions and beyond."
The Tall Blacks and Sky Sport Tall
Ferns 3x3 teams recently won the FIBA Asia Cup and will
progress to the Crelan FIBA 3x3 World Cup 2022 in Belgium next month. The teams will also
compete in the inaugural debut of the 3x3 format at the Birmingham
2022 Commonwealth Games in July.
Meanwhile the Tall Blacks will play a World Cup qualifier
against the Philippines on June
30–their first game on home soil since 2018–before heading to the
FIBA Asia Cup on July 12. The Tall
Ferns also look forward to playing in New
Zealand in 2022, with tournament details to be announced
soon.
"We are excited to partner with USANA for our Senior National
teams," says MNZM Chief Executive of Basketball New Zealand Dillon
Boucher. "With a focus on the health and well-being of our teams,
this partnership allows us to provide what is needed to be at our
peak for performance on the world stage."
Having trust in a product is important for BBNZ and its
athletes, and USANA's commitment to offering quality nutritional
supplements met the organizations needs and expectations.
"Through our partnership with Drug Free Sport NZ, we are
committed to ensuring our athletes are educated about supplement
use," adds Boucher. "We were impressed with USANA's quality
assurance program and the level of detail they put into their
third-party testing."
USANA's world-class products are validated through third-party
testing to ensure supplements are thoroughly tested against the
World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) list of banned substances. A
variety of USANA products are tested through NSF International's
Certified for Sport® program to verify what's on the label is in
the bottle and Informed-Choice which regularly tests the purity of
the products' raw ingredients.
