Team DSM is a major player on the global cycling scene, fighting for trophies on the biggest stages of the sport. In recent years, they’ve experienced important victories, including being crowned champions of the Giro d’Italia and winning stages in Vuelta a España and the Tour de France. The team features three programs under the Team DSM umbrella: WorldTour Men, WorldTour Women, and Development.

Looking for new ways to push their athletes to their full potential, Team DSM works in close collaboration with its partners, Royal DSM, a world-leading health & nutrition company, and Sanas, to develop innovative and sustainable personalized sports nutrition solutions for their riders, combining the latest research and data with science-backed ingredients.

For the elite athletes in Team DSM, a daily dose of Peptan can provide a valuable sports nutrition boost for their tough training and competition regimen. The sports nutrition and mobility benefits of Peptan are backed up by robust science: one clinical study indicates that Peptan collagen peptide supplementation can accelerate recovery and alleviate muscle soreness after intense workouts;[1] while another study suggested that daily intake of Peptan can reduce joint discomfort and improve mobility.[2]

We’re proud that Team DSM take Peptan via Sanas’s Cartiplus shot in their daily sports nutrition routine, and we’re excited to follow their progress in upcoming races.
