Mark Foster - Professional swimmer 6 times World Champion

Mark Foster is the world's fastest man in water, and he competes in the freestyle and butterfly 50m sprint disciplines. The relatively short distance over which he competes in a race, dictates that his training regime has a particular emphasis on upper body strength and maximum power output.

"In a 50m race, I'm only actually swimming for just over 20 seconds, so my training regime is designed to build lots of power, especially in the upper body which provides about 85% of total energy output in the sprints. In training, I target my shoulders, triceps and lats, but avoid excessive muscle bulk which reduces the streamline qualities of the body." "The 50m freestyle and 50m butterfly events are all about power. But of course power comes at the expense of energy, and I therefore need to ensure that my body is converting the food I eat into energy as efficiently as possible. Wellman helps me to maintain optimum energy release as it provides the whole family of b vitamins including B3 - needed by the body for the production of the enzymes NAD and NADP, which are essential for the efficient release of energy from digested food. Wellman tablet formulation also provides 2mg of C0-enzyme Q10 and 30mg of L-Carnitine - both of which help to maintain lean muscle mass."

Rhys Williams - 400m Hurdles

"I'm very grateful to Vitabiotics, as the last few years have been very important in the lead up to the Olympic Games. Vitabiotics supplements keep me healthy, injury free and allow me to train day in day out at an optimum level. The 400m hurdles covers most elements of training in that, we need speed, we need power, we need endurance and flexibility. In order to fully achieve each of these, I have needed to supplement my diet. Through this I have reached the 2012 Olympic Games and I know Vitabiotics suppelemnts have played a key part in me achieving this."

James Ellington - 200m Runner

26 year old James Ellington's journey to British 200m champion wasn't an easy one. Three years ago he was battling with injury, slipping in the rankings - and unlike his peers overlooked by sponsors.

Against the odds, James' talent and self belief saw him through and by the end of 2011 he was running faster than ever. Then his creative idea of going on eBay to raise funds worked a treat. By February this year, for the first time in his life,he had support from three companies: King of Shaves, Gococo and Vitabiotics. As a result he has been able to train full time and focus on realising his life time ambition - to run at the Olympics. His spectacular victory at the Aviva trials in June put him in the number one slot for the 200m - and his place in Stratford is now well and truly secured.

"Vitabiotics came into my life in February this year - supplying vitamins, supplements and some wise diet advice from the founder Dr Lalvani which I have stuck to . It's obviously helped me achieve my lifetime dream - to be in the Olympics as four months later I am now British Champion for 200m and all set for the Olympics. Vitabiotics will be helping me to go all the way."

JJ Jegede - Long Jump

JJ Jegede previously struggled with injuries from the demands of taking off and landing in his event. Since he began taking Vitabiotics products he has seen a significant improvement in his training and competitions.

"My event the Long Jump is all about speed and explosive power, I use sprints, weights and plyometrics to develop these elements. Wellman Sport supplements and Optimuscle have significantly improved my recovery from each of my intense sessions. Jointace tablets have strengthened my joints for the impact I put myself through on takeoff and Jointace Gel has soothed sore muscles after four-hour sessions. Within days of taking Vitabiotics products I improved my indoor personal best and am now ranked No1 in the UK. Wellman supplements have taken me to a higher level and Optimuscle shakes have helped me focus during long competitions. With the World Championships and Olympics fast approaching, I know that with help from Vitabiotics I can achieve my dreams to be World and Olympic Champion."

Ricardo Twumasi - Triple Jumper

"I have been using Wellman supplements for several years now and the whole range fits my needs perfectly, helping me quickly get back to form from one gruelling session to the next. In the last month I've started using the Wellman grooming range and have noticed a dramatic reduction in lines and bags around my eyes and I really feel great about my skin! I've gone from small modelling jobs to being featured in ad campaigns for Sainsbury's, British Athletics and Lucozade, I can't thank Wellman and the Vitabiotics team enough!"

Mark Draper - 5,000m Runner

"As a professional long distance runner my event is all about endurance. I train twice a day and run up to 120 mile per week. With a demanding training programme like mine I need the correct levels of nutrition between sessions and Optimuscle and Wellman Sport ensures I do. Not only does it give my body the essential nutrients but it tastes great too. Since starting on my Vitabiotics plan of Wellman supplements I feel as if I have been able to train and compete harder and longer than ever."

David Webb - Marathon

"My partnership with the Wellman team began 2 years ago at a time when my body was struggling to meet the demands of elite marathon running and after finishing in 16th place in the 2010 European Championships I began to suffer from frequent illnesses that prevented me from training at the level necessary to make further progress. The use of the Wellman, Feroglobin iron supplement, and the nutritional advice provided by the Vitabiotics team has helped me address these issues and played a major role in helping me finish 15th (3rd European athlete) in the marathon in the 2011 World Championships in Daegu - a significant improvement in such a short space of time. This performance met the UK Athletics 'A' standard for London 2012 and I am hopeful that it will allow me to continue to benefit from the Wellman products all the way through to a home Olympics."

Dempsey McGuigan - Hammer Thrower

"It's been around a year since I began taking the Wellman supplements, and the results I have seen during this periods are some that I couldn't have dreamed of. Not only did I go from being ranked 10th in the UK to number 2, and improving my personal best by over 8m, up to 67.25m, I also qualified for the European Junior Championships, which in all reality, should have been out of my grasp. I've had an amazing year and honestly feel it would not have been possible without the support I have received from Vitabiotics. I am now looking forward to the 2012 season, where my main aim lies in qualifying for the Final of the World Junior Championships and breaking the National Junior record, as well as really making a breakthrough to the International stage. With Vitabiotics behind me, I believe this is all possible, and much more!"

Mark Dry - Hammer Thrower

"I started using the Wellman products at the end of my 2010 season to help me get through the hard slog that is winter training for many power athletes. I was quickly up to where I finished my winter in 2009 and then produced several personal bests in the gym early 2011 and I put a lot of that down to using Wellman supplements as I was feeling a lot fresher, allowing me to ithen went onto smash. Working full time and training can really take its toll, I used to feel low in energy but Wellman supplements are definitely helping me in a very short space of time. Through the high impact nature of my sport at training, using Jointace gel and tablets has really contributed to help keep my joints working properly so I spend more time training than icing!"

Darren started athletics when he was 11 years old joining his current track and field team Enfield and Haringey AC. When Darren graduated from university in Sports Science with Health and Nutrition he decided to focus on his athletics career with his current coach Wynn Gmitroski.

"Having used Wellman supplements for the past two years, I feel that my energy has increased throughout the day as well as during my training sessions which is really benefiting my performance. I am really excited to get into competition and see the performance benefits that I've been seeing in training. Using the Optimuscle range has also helped after exercise and as a result I can train harder and recover faster for the next day."

Andy Frost - Hammer Thrower

"I started using Wellman at the start of 2011 athletics season. 2011 has been my most successful season as I have gained a new personal best, and I was the first one for five years to gain selection for European Team Championships. I put a great deal of this success down to using a wide selection of the Wellman range and Jointace. Looking forward I have a hard winter's training approaching to get me in the best shape possible for my next session. It is a hectic lifestyle balancing full time work and training but I feel more confident of being successful now that I am getting support from Vitabiotics supplements."
