"There are a lot of studies that indicate that these plant based proteins are far more beneficial to your health and longevity as compared to animal based proteins that have hormones in them and all those byproducts."

Ryan Roddy - CEO of @kyokufit

Optimising performance was the foundation in which Ryan Roddy built his company, Kyoku. He is truly revolutionising the way we view protein shakes within the realm of endurance sports. His high quality, vegan friendly, non-gmo, and no colorant protein blend (40% mix of plan proteins and 60% superfoods) is truly tailored to your individual needs. With that being said, using a variety of plant proteins ensures optimal bioavailability - resulting in enhanced uptake of nutrients. During this conversation, Ryan and I talk about how and why he developed his company. Being a research (science) driven individual, Ryan walks us through how he wants to be on the cutting edge of personalisation - looking at biomarker detection through saliva sampling, DNA sequencing (kits), and integrating in platforms such as Garmin and Strava. This would completely eliminate asking questions prior to orders and seamlessly provide you with nutrition (superfood protein blend/other future products) based off of where you are in your training. This is the future ... Kyoku is looking to create a pretty elaborate protocol to your training demands.
