Not-for-profit supplement company dedicated to preventive health, announced the launch of Proteins+

Salt Lake City, Utah (September 2, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Nutriex, the pioneering not-for-profit supplement company dedicated to preventive health, today announced the launch of Proteins+, a groundbreaking protein formula developed in collaboration with legendary rock climber Chris Sharma. This comprehensive product represents the culmination of more than 25 years of nutritional science and real-world athletic testing.

Proteins+ delivers a unique combination of grass-fed whey protein, grass-fed collagen, premium creatine, beet extract, fiber, and digestive enzymes in one convenient formula. The product addresses the growing need for comprehensive protein support among athletes and adults over 50 who often struggle to meet their daily protein requirements.

“Working with Nutriex over the past 20 years has been transformative for my longevity as a climber,” said Chris Sharma, who at 44 continues to push the boundaries of rock climbing. “Now being able to collaborate on Proteins+ feels like a natural evolution. This isn’t just about performance, it’s about supporting your body for the long haul, whether you’re sending your hardest route or simply wanting to stay active and healthy as you age.”

The formula combines multiple protein sources to support muscle development and recovery while addressing connective tissue and joint health through collagen supplementation. Research shows that adequate protein intake becomes increasingly critical after age 30, when muscle mass naturally begins to decline by 3-8% per decade. By their 50’s, many people see noticeable loss of muscle mass.

“We’ve seen firsthand how proper nutrition can extend athletic careers and improve quality of life,” said Dr. Tom Rosenberg, co-founder and former orthopedic surgeon. “Proteins+ represents our commitment to providing comprehensive solutions that address multiple systems; muscle, joints, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health all in one scientifically-backed formula.”

Key features of Proteins+ include:

• Premium grass-fed whey protein for optimal muscle support
• Grass-fed collagen for joint and connective tissue health
• Premium creatine for enhanced strength and cognitive function
• Beet extract for improved endurance and cardiovascular health
• Four fiber sources with digestive enzymes for optimal absorption
• Natural chocolate and vanilla flavors with no added sugars

Kathleen Deffner, Nutriex co-founder and bioengineer, emphasized the product’s comprehensive approach: “Proteins+ exemplifies our philosophy of synergistic nutrition. Rather than requiring multiple products, we’ve created a single formula that addresses the interconnected needs of active adults. It’s about making optimal nutrition accessible and convenient.”

The product launch reflects Nutriex’s ongoing commitment to evidence-based supplementation. Like all Nutriex products, Proteins+ undergoes rigorous quality testing and is manufactured in FDA-registered facilities meeting the highest industry standards.

“At 44, I’ve had to become much more intentional about recovery and maintaining my strength,” added Sharma. “Proteins+ gives me confidence that I’m supporting not just my climbing goals, but my long-term health. That’s something every active person can relate to, regardless of their sport or activity level.”

Proteins+ is available in 15-serving packages in chocolate and vanilla flavors. The product joins Nutriex’s comprehensive line of preventive health supplements, all designed to support optimal wellness through evidence-based nutrition.
