Sale Sharks has renewed its successful partnership with gut health experts Yakult until the end of the current season, with the brand supporting both the men’s and women’s teams.
The partnership began in 2023, with Yakult providing Sharks players and staff with Yakult Original and Yakult Balance.
James Moran, Sale Sharks’ Nutrition Consultant, said: “We’re excited to continue working with Yakult. They are a massive global brand and our players and staff really enjoy their products.
“Our players push themselves to the limit and put their bodies on the line on a daily basis. Yakult is a key part of our nutrition strategy to support the gut and immune health of our players and performance support staff.”
Commenting on the partnership, Reshma Patel, Marketing Manager for Yakult UK & Ireland said “It’s fantastic to continue our partnership with Sale Sharks and to see gut health has becoming a vital pillar in supporting overall health and wellbeing both on and off the pitch.”
Yakult has a long heritage and an amazing amount of science behind its little bottle. It all started over 90 years ago with founder, Japanese scientist Dr Shirota.
Today, over 38 million Yakult products are enjoyed every day in over 40 countries and regions around the world. The brand has partnered with sports associations across the UK, Ireland and beyond to support athletes at all levels and understands the vital role gut health can play, especially as part of sports nutrition.
