In an article this month in Outdoor Fitness Magazine, Nigel Mitchell, the Head of Nutrition with British Cycling and Team Sky who works with the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Ben Swift and Geraint Thomas, talks about the balance of Omega 3,6 and 9, the importance of a regular source of essential fats in any athletes diet and highlights that Udo’s Oil is a “a specifically designed vegetarian oil supplement that contains Omega 3, 6 and 9 in a specific ratio designed to meet the body’s needs.”

Udo’s Choice are proud to announce their sponsorship of Pro cycling team Zappi’s Cycling.  Zappi’s Pro Cycling is a relative newcomer into cycling circles having only been formed in 2010.  However, already, even with limited budget, it has been punching above its weight by competing on a par with some of the top teams on the UK circuit.  Not only have the last couple of years seen exciting developments in the team but the future promises to be even more so, not only for the Pro team of 6 young riders but for the Zappi Cycling Club as a whole.
