Gloucester-based Nutrition X has been chosen as official nutrition supplier to Munster Rugby men's team for the second consecutive season.

The year-long contract follows a successful initial season. It will see the nutrition specialist act as both nutrition supplier to the club and as an extended support arm to Munster Rugby's own specialist nutrition department throughout the season.

As part of the agreement, Nutrition X will continue to work closely with the club's nutrition department - as well as the players themselves - to deliver tailored sports nutrition designed to support player performance from every angle.

Products supplied to the team will be delivered from Nutrition X's Ireland office in Dublin, which opened a year ago.

Jack Deaman, Head of UK and European partnerships at Nutrition X, said: "It's been fantastic to take our first leap into the Irish URC with such a prestigious club over the past 12 months and it goes without saying that we're honoured to be extending our partnership for the upcoming season. We're very much looking forward to continuing to support them throughout 2023/24."

Clare Farrell, lead performance nutritionist with Munster Rugby, said: "We look forward to developing our partnership further with the Nutrition X team over the coming year. The provision of Nutrition X's products plays a key role in our overall nutrition strategy, as we provide the best-in-class support for our players in this elite environment."

Munster Rugby were attracted to Nutrition X thanks to the nutrition specialist's focus on quality and safety. Every one of Nutrition X's sports nutrition products is batch-tested and Informed-Sport accredited, meaning they are tested rigorously for substances listed on the World Anti-Doping Agency Banned Substance list.
