MAC manages the States road safety communication and funds projects aimed at encouraging all road users to make smart decisions when they're on the road. These initiatives play a key role in working towards influencing road user attitudes and behaviours.

Roads deaths and injuries are not inevitable. Road safety is a shared responsibility in which governments, industry and the broader community can work towards a society in which everyone is safe when using the road.

"Eat Natural, Be Active" has been the philosophy of Winners Sports Nutrition since it was founded in 2005. We are proud that our products are conceived and developed in the kitchen rather than the laboratory. Our team involves experts in sports nutrition and sports science. We believe that understanding how your body works and providing it with the nutrition it requires will lead to greater performance. We also believe that food is food rather than fuel. Even on a long bike ride or after an intensive gym session, the food that you put into your body should be enjoyed. This is why we use natural ingredients such as oats, rice, grains and fruit to develop products that will reward the effort you put into being active. One of our sponsored athletes, World Champion cyclist Cadel Evans sums it up:

"The right sort of nutrition and energy replacement is important for anyone that is active and in my sport it can be the difference between winning and losing. Each year I look at ways to improve performance and certainly nutrition is one of those areas. I am confident these new bars and gels can help me compete and train at a higher level. One of the good things about Winners bars are they are not just for elite athletes but can provide that sustained energy boost that any active person needs. They have all natural ingredients, are low fat and low GI too which is important to me too."

So, whether you are an elite athlete or just a keen participant, Winners Sport Nutrition will help you to enjoy your favourite activity more.

We’d love to hear from you so please contact us at sales@winnersbars.com or go to our on-line store at www.winnersbars.com
