Premiership and European Cup Rugby

Saracens play at the top level of domestic rugby union, and with the help of USN continue to deliver fantastic on-the-field performances.

Strength and Conditioning Coordinator Scott Murphy for the Saracens comments: “Finding a way get to the top of the Premiership is a massive challenge. We look for any edge we can find. The only way forward is to train as hard as possible and to make sure that we maximise the returns from every session. That’s where supplementation becomes vital. When the opportunity to join with USN became available the Strength and Conditioning team jumped at the chance. They offered us products that are research based - in simple terms, They Work. Coupled with outstanding value for money and tasty products that the players actually enjoy consuming; we knew we were on to a good thing”.

We couldn't be happier, our fitness and strength testing scores were excellent and the injury rates are down. The mountain of work the players get through is made a lot more possible by USN products. We look forward to the continued partnership between Saracens and USN”.

The players regularly use the following supplements to ensure they’re in the peak physical condition & able to reach optimum performance levels:

MultiPlex : It is important to have optimal quantities of all the important micronutrients and phytonutrients available, when required. The correct concentration of these nutrients allows the body to perform at its fullest potential. MultiPlex is a complex supplement formulated to optimize these levels.

Pure Protein IGF-1 : USN’s Pure Protein is a complete engineered protein blend consisting of a precise mixture of whey protein isolate, whey protein concentrate, calcium caseinate, egg albumen and soy protein isolate. Protein performs many essential functions in the body. It is required for growth and repair of tissues and aids in the transportation of nutrients, oxygen and nitrogen

Creatine X4 : Creatine X4 provides a revolutionary form of creatine which does not rely on insulin for its uptake. Creatine Ethyl Ester HCL is a fat soluble form of creatine which penetrates muscle cells at a rapid rate. This allows muscle ATP to regenerate much faster, thereby allowing for lightning quick muscle recovery during workouts. Muscle cells can function at maximum efficiency throughout the workout.

Recover Xcell : USN’s Recover Xcell is precisely formulated as a post training recovery drink and/or a comprehensive energy, amino acid and electrolyte replacement drink to use after long periods of intense physical activity such as military training, Iron Man events, marathons etc. as well as shorter, highly intensive activities like sprinting, power-lifting, weight-lifting, rugby etc. The carbohydrates consist of an ideal ratio of long chain glucose polymers for sustained energy supply, as well as fast acting simple sugars for rapid energy replacement.
