BURLINGTON, ON, Aug. 3, 2023 /CNW/ - Element Nutritional Sciences Inc. (CSE: ELMT) (OTC: ELNSF) (FRANKFURT: 93X) (the "Company" or "Element"), is preparing the professional sports world for the launch of its PROMINO™ drink mix and ready-to-drink beverage by working closely with pro athletes in their "offices" – elite training facilities and locker rooms across the multiple pro sports leagues in North America.

PROMINO™ is NSF Certified for sport, which means it is free of banned substances and approved by all major sports leagues. Additionally, Element invested in a rigorous flavoring process with a top tier U.S. flavor house responsible for creating the taste of several of North America's best-selling sports nutrition beverages. Followed by extensive in-market consumer testing, the Company will launch two refreshing fruit flavors in Q4 2023.

"Early this year we began an educational program with some of pro sports leading performance coaches and the response to PROMINO's science, benefits and results confirms we are over the radar of having the right product at the right time and are gathering momentum as we prepare to launch," said Stuart Lowther, Element's CEO

According to multiple pro sport league performance coaches, today's athletes want a muscle building and recovery drink that:

• Does not cause stomach bloating and GI tract discomfort that is common with most whey protein based products
• Is not loaded with sugar, carbohydrates, fillers and chemicals
• Is low calorie
• Has "gulpable" taste that refreshes
• Works immediately to repair muscle, promote recovery and strength
• Contains no banned or illegal substances

In addition to great taste, PROMINO™ delivers:

• Less than 15 calories per serving
• No fat, no sugar, no dairy
• 100% plant-based formula
• Increases muscle protein synthesis by 76%¹, more than two times the 35% delivered by whey protein²

PROMINO's patented amino acid formula contains the essential building blocks of protein and are shown to be the highest quality protein source in the world based on the rising gold standard of protein quality – DIAAS – which measures the uptake of these key amino acids in the gut. With a 321 DIAAS (Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score), PROMINO™ is superior to whey protein at 133³.

PROMINO™ is more effective than whey protein at producing the desired results – with none of the fat, sugar, carbs and bloat. It is a significant step forward for pro and collegiate athletes.
