Amino Vital announced it has signed an agreement to become an Official Supporter of the 2006 and 2008 U.S. Olympic Teams and the 2007 U.S. Pan American Team, and an Official Sponsor of the 2006 and 2008 U.S. Paralympic Teams.
As an Official Supporter of the U.S. Olympic and Pan American Teams through 2008, Amino Vital is entitled to use the U.S. Olympic supplier logos in all advertising and marketing efforts. In addition, the company is authorized to use all U.S. Paralympic logos in print and electronic collateral.
Amino Vital comes to the USOC after a long relationship with the Japanese Olympic Committee and the Japan Anti-Doping Agency. Amino Vital produces products that provide athletes with readily available amino acids that enhance their normal daily diet.
“Amino Vital is honored to support America's athletes training to compete in the 2006 and 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in addition to those training for the 2007 Pan American Games. This is an excellent opportunity for Amino Vital to support Olympic and Paralympic athletes in their quest to achieve their goals,” said Mitsuru “Mitch” Nishikawa, vice president and general manager of Ajinomoto USA's Amino Acid Nutraceuticals Division.
“The United States Olympic Committee is proud to welcome Amino Vital and the Ajinomoto Group to the growing family of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Team Official Sponsors and Suppliers,” said USOC chief executive officer Jim Scherr. “The USOC and Amino Vital share a common goal of supporting athletes as they pursue excellence in a manner consistent with the Olympic Ideals of honor, integrity and fair play.”
Amino Vital will provide financial support for the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams, and will lead the charge in offering amino acid-based nutritional products to assure that the U.S. athletes are getting the most out of their training and aid in their recovery after strenuous workouts
