Prague, November 2023
Striving for peak performance and maintaining optimal health – this is the goal behind the partnership between the Czech national cross-country skiing team and Trime, a Czech producer of natural dietary supplements. The team chose Trime after extensive experience with its products, which are designed to mimic the nutritional potential of whole foods. The collaboration was solidified following laboratory tests showing that the athletes achieved optimal micronutrient levels after supplementing with Trime products.
“To ensure our athletes perform at their best, we worked closely with the national team’s medical staff to find the highest quality supplements. It’s crucial that our athletes use only the best nutrients. Consuming products that merely meet basic legal and hygienic standards does not guarantee their health impact. Trime’s supplements are meticulously designed down to the last molecule – exactly what our athletes need for peak performance,” explains Jan Franc, head coach of the national team.
Quality Supplementation for Elite Performance
The Czech cross-country skiing team has longstanding experience with Trime products. The decision to formalize the partnership came after athletes underwent regular micronutrient tests in the fall, which again demonstrated the efficacy of Trime supplements. Notably, the athletes achieved excellent vitamin D levels, which is often deficient in the Czech population, particularly during winter months. A 2018 study by the Czech Institute of Public Health showed that up to 95% of Czechs suffer from vitamin D deficiency.
In addition to vitamin D, Trime provides the 13 elite national team members with vitamin K2, essential for vitamin D supplementation as it facilitates the transfer of calcium from the bloodstream to bone tissue. According to Trime, this relationship is often overlooked by supplement users. The athletes also supplement with zinc and omega-3 fatty acids.
“Competing at the highest level while maintaining good health demands disciplined lifestyle choices, especially during the winter months when the body is more susceptible to illness. The Czech cross-country skiing team understands this and has prioritized thoughtful supplementation that mirrors nature and offers high bioavailability. We’re thrilled to collaborate with a team that takes nutrition as seriously as we do. Personally, I am very excited about this partnership,” says Michal Kočí, co-founder and CEO of Trime, who has personal experience in high-level sports.
