About
Premier Sponsor CytoSport, Inc.
CytoSport
is a family-owned business in Benecia, CA. They are a progressive,
equal-opportunity workplace with almost non-existent turnover,
generous employee benefit packages and safe, clean working
conditions. Since their inception in 1999, they have grown
to become one of the largest performance nutrition manufacturers
in the world (the product Cytomax has been marketed for
15 years and was acquired by CytoSport, inc in 1999). Their
popular brands like Muscle Milk and Cytomax are favorites
among athletes in a variety of sports.
President/CEO
Greg Pickett has over 30 years of experience in the nutritional
supplement industry with an impeccable reputation. Pickett
was also a competitive professional race driver who used
his own products with great success during his legendary
SCCA Trans-Am career, where he accumulated the most top-10
finishes of any driver in history.
Their
are many serious athletes on the CytoSport staff who use
the products every day (employees are encouraged to consume
all the products they want for free and time off is given
for travel to competitive events). Employees and sponsored
athletes are provided the forum to offer frequent and candid
feedback to product formulators. CytoSport works closely
with numerous elite athletes, like Indy 500 race driver
Scott Sharp, several members of the Oakland Raiders, Major
League Baseball stars like Randy Johnson and their staple
of top endurance athletes like triathlon great Simon Lessing
to ensure the products really work and taste good to real
athletes.
It
is not uncommon to see professional athletes hanging around
the lab tasting new flavors and offering guidance that is
integrated into the end product. Not many companies can
claim this devotion or close connection to the athletes
they serve.
On
the science side, CytoSport features Dr.George
Brooks, one of the world's foremost exercise physiologists
and sports nutrition scientists at UC Berkeley. Dr. Brooks
was responsible for developing the breakthrough Alpha-L-Polylactate
in Cytomax and is a key component in the development and
updating of every CytoSport product.
CytoSport
Manufacturing
CytoSport
manufactures their products on-site in their state-of-the-art
production facility in Concord (one of the largest and most
modern in the USA). They adhere to the "Good Manufacturing
Practices" as outlined by the United States Government for
consumable products. Many less expensive products are produced
with questionable manufacturing methods and sanitation,
reducing freshness and potency and even introducing toxic
elements into some products.
CytoSport
believes in "green" manufacturing, making every effort to
choose equipment and production methods that minimize pollution
and environmental damage. Recyclable packaging and shipping
material is used whenever possible.
CytoSport
utilizes quality assurance experts to visually inspect each
product before it leaves their facility. Tamper resistant
seals are placed on all products, which ensure freshness
and eliminate contamination risk. Because they manufacture
on-site they can stock minimal inventory and turn it over
to you quickly. Inventory is stored in a clean, temperature-stable
environment and you are guaranteed a fresh product.
CytoSport
donates products and other resources to worthy causes in
the community, such as high school sports.
