Positive nutrition is part of our DNA. It has always guided our advancements in field research
and deepened our passion for innovation. It drives us to study the lifestyles and eating habits of
the populations that have learned to live better and longer. It allows us to anticipate the
nutrition of the future. It leads us to formulate and produce ideal nutrition and supplement
solutions for those who practice sports, those who are health-conscious and those who want to
stay in shape. All this with a specific objective: to help everyone improve the quality of their life.
For over 40 years, a passion for sports nutrition has driven our scientific research. Day after day, thanks to this unique experience we invent, test, develop and produce high-quality functional foods and innovative supplements. Ours is a fully in-house approach to satisfying the nutritional needs of those who practice sports, those who are health-conscious and those who want to stay in shape. A sporting spirit is positive energy that elevates us.
Our in-house approach calls for production to take place at our Industry 4.0 plant in Erba (in the Como province), an avant-garde center in the production of functional bars free of gluten and palm oil, and at our historic plant in Zelbio, in Pian del Tivano (also in Como), at an altitude of 1000 meters, which after forty years is still the beating heart of our production.
A passion for nutrition and innovation guide our scientific research. From Chile to Mexico, from the South Pole to the United States, from Tibet to Israel, from Bolivia to Okinawa, we travel the globe to seek out, discover and study the lifestyles of the healthiest, longest-living populations. By doing so we can anticipate the positive nutrition of the future and develop new products for fitness, health and weight loss.
We’ve grown alongside the greatest sports champions, winners of World Cups and Olympic medals, record-setters and major teams like A.C. Milan and Juventus F.C., and national finalists in rugby, cycling, skiing and more. For thirty years we’ve provided medical and scientific assistance to cyclists in the Giro d’Italia, and in 1984 we organized Francesco Moser’s legendary hour record, a masterpiece that marked the beginning of modern cycling. Following this came Sara Simeoni, Alberto Tomba, Reinhold Messner, Maurizio Damilano, Ivan Lendl, Lorenzo Vismara and Valentina Vezzali, just to name a few.
The ambassadors who proudly represent us are Miguel Indurain, Stefano Baldini, Davide Cassani, Daniel Fontana and Alex Zanardi. Our champions are the likes of Hervé Barmasse, Eleonora Giorgi, Greta Laurent and Federico Pellegrino. Our major teams include Associazione Calcio Monza, FCI, Swedish Hockey League, Piatti Tennis Center, Trek- Segafredo, UAE Team Emirates, Virtus Pallacanestro Bologna, Valencia Basket Club and the Obiettivo3 project for Paralympics athletes. We sponsor major events, such as marathons in Florence and Valencia; the cycling events Maratona dles Dolomites, Nove Colli and the Vätternrundan in Sweden; and the Vasaloppet and Marcialonga cross-country skiing competitions.
For all these athletes we develop personalized nutrition strategies, conduct field research, provide technical assistance and create innovative products for our champions, for those who practice sports, those who are health-conscious and those who want to stay in shape.
At Enervit, more than the goals we’ve accomplished, the advancements we’ve made or the success we’ve achieved, what makes us truly unique is the sporting spirit with which all of us, together, carry out our work.
The year: 1976. The name: Equipe Enervit. The goal: to promote sports nutrition and supplements in a scientifically correct manner, on and off the field. Put into practice: a groundbreaking decision.
In the 1970s, no one spoke of sports nutrition, which was considered to have no influence on performance. In fact, in some cases, eating or drinking while practicing a sport wasn’t allowed. Dr. Paolo Sorbini, the founder of Enervit, intuited how important nutrition and supplements were to performance in sports. He focused on athletes’ needs, opening the doors to the study of nutrition and supplements in sports.
This led to Equipe Enervit, a group of professionals who understand nutrition and have extraordinary expertise in their sector: doctors, researchers, nutritionists, biologists, technical specialists.
The first projects to which Equipe Enervit signed its name began at the end of the decade with the medical-scientific assistance it provided to speed skiers and to cyclists in the Giro d’Italia, the latter being a two-wheeled discipline which Equipe Enervit would come to know very well. In fact, in Mexico City in 1984, thanks to support from the tried-and-tested team, Francesco Moser broke the 50-kilometer-per-hour record. The accomplishment was an authentic work of art that marked the beginning of modern cycling. Following this were collaborations in various disciplines with national and international teams, Olympic and Paralympic medalists and world champions.
Today, Equipe Enervit continues to work in close contact with Enervit’s research and development center on the conception and advancement of innovative products that are designed to follow a modern nutritional strategy aimed at achieving peak performance.
Internationally recognized food safety standard whose primary aim is to strengthen and promote food safety throughout the supply chain. The application of the BRC is a prerequisite necessary to export one’s products, and it is a recognized means of ensuring company reliability.
International regulation whose aim is to specify the requirements of an environmental management system, which an organization may use to develop its environmental performance. The regulation helps an organization attain its environmental management system’s desired outcomes, which include:
International regulation recognized for quality management. The aim is to manage the effectiveness and efficiency of processes to provide, on a regular basis, products or services that satisfy customer requirements and aim at raising customer satisfaction. In addition, the regulation provides an underlying organizational model.
European regulation ensuring compliance of products attained with the organic method in all production phases, from field to table. The organic production method essentially aims at:
