Sharks and Springbok rugby star Bismarck du Plessis has sealed a sponsorship deal with leading nutrition brand Muscle Science.  As a professional player, he has the advantage of personal guidance from many professionals specializing in sports nutrition, but confesses that it is still not always easy to get exactly what he needs from his diet.

“I am very careful about what I eat,” said Bismarck. “I’m a farm boy and I love healthy, wholesome home-made food, but it is not always possible to eat the perfect sports diet, especially when the team is travelling.”

Renowned for his strength and power, Bismarck knows that nutrition is plays a big role in the maintenance of his physical aspects of his game, and points out that sports supplements are an efficient way to meet his nutritional needs.  “But obviously I can’t take any risks, so my first priority was to find a top quality sports supplement I knew I could trust to be pure.  Muscle Science was the natural fit.”

“Bismarck epitomizes power, strength and commitment,” commented Ian Wright, Muscle Science brand manager.  “Muscle Science is delighted to be associated with this champion of South African rugby.  Not only is he a remarkable rugby player, he is a true role model.

Strenuous exercise places significant demands on the human body, and good nutrition helps the body to adjust to these demands.  And Muscle Science can make the difference between optimum nutrition and being below par.  Muscle Science is the leading brand in South African sports nutrition, and has sponsored the Sharks Academy for several years.  Sponsoring Bismarck is the natural extension of our support for South African rugby, and is the perfect synergy of values and quality.”
