Nutritech has officially launched the updated packaging for its long-standing PROVEN PROTEIN range, continuing the brand’s broader evolution toward cleaner communication, stronger shelf presence, and clearer product positioning.

The refreshed design introduces a more modern and performance-focused identity while retaining the recognisable elements that have made PROVEN Protein a staple within the South African supplement market for years. The new packaging places greater emphasis on simplicity and functionality, allowing key product information and intended use to stand out more clearly for both new and existing consumers.

Every year around the last Monday in May, thousands of athletes across the world take on one of CrossFit’s most recognised, and brutal workouts: Murph. On paper, it looks simple.

But Murph is rarely experienced on paper. It is a workout that exposes pacing, muscular endurance, aerobic capacity, hydration, and mental composure, often all at once. For many athletes, it becomes less about fitness and more about managing fatigue intelligently from start to finish.

Nutritech is proud to announce its official collaboration with the South African Football Association (SAFA), bringing together performance nutrition and national identity in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup in the United States of America.

Kyle Schoonbee secured victory in the Men’s Pro division at HYROX Cape Town, crossing the line in 57:15 and reinforcing his position at the top of South African HYROX.

Racing at home brought added intensity — family in attendance, a vocal crowd, and a rapidly improving local field. With another sub-60-minute Pro performance in the mix, the standard continues to rise.

Matt Beers and Tristan Nortje delivered a commanding performance to secure overall victory at the 2026 Cape Epic, closing out the race with a decisive final stage that underlined both their resilience and tactical maturity.

In doing so, the pair made history, becoming the first all-South African team to win the race in its 22 editions, a landmark moment for local cycling and the broader endurance community.

Widely regarded as one of the most demanding stage races in the world, the Cape Epic tests far more than physical strength. Over eight days of racing, riders are pushed through relentless terrain, extreme fatigue, and constant strategic pressure. This year’s edition proved no different.
