Kiwi Olympians choose Go Native for Rio 2016

The New Zealand-made Go Native range of slow release energy fruit snacks are the all-natural secret weapon for more than 20 members of the New Zealand Olympic team.



Founder Duncan Forbes says Go Native’s Olympic selection proves the homegrown brand is a winner. 

“Athletes at this level want to put the best they can in their bodies for optimum performance; they want it to be natural and they want it to taste great. Go Native products prove you can eat natural ingredients to be your best,” Forbes says. 

The company has been selling the tasty fruit snacks to top athletes worldwide for the past two and a half years.
 
Many of New Zealand’s top sports people have been using Go Native products, including the Black Sticks, the Silver Ferns and several Super Rugby teams.

Dane Baker, nutritionist for High Performance Sport New Zealand, says it’s crucial that athletes have access to safe, high quality nutrition.

“We’ve used the Go Native fruit snacks for many seasons; athletes love them and we know they work.”

Forbes says Go Native products, which are made in Marlborough, stand out in a crowded market because they are completely natural. The Go Native range is made from natural fruit and vegetable ingredients, which are sourced from New Zealand wherever possible. Go Native products contain no artificial ingredients, preservatives or refined sugar. 
 
A 20g Go Native fruit bar equals one daily fruit serving. Tests by Singapore’s Temasek Glycaemic Research Institute have shown that the fruit snacks provide slow-release energy for two hours after being consumed.
