West Ham United’s 12th Man
‘Having supported people with Diabetes for 20 years, GlucoGel is the surprise 12th man choice for West Ham as their season goes from strength to strength’
In the ongoing fight for competitive advantage in top flight football, West Ham have found a secret weapon from an unlikely source. To boost energy levels at half time, West Ham take GlucoGel which is a product originally designed to raise blood sugars of diabetic patients.
More likely to be seen administered in the UK’s surgeries and hospitals, BBI, the makers of GlucoGel were surprised to receive a bulk order from West Ham at the start of the season.
West Ham Team Physio Paul Hunter says: “The West Ham players have found that GlucoGel gives them increased energy without a detrimental effect on their performance, particularly when it’s taken at half time.”
GlucoGel was specifically designed to be fast acting and easy to use for diabetes sufferers. These product features inadvertently make the product ideal for professional athletes. The gel is easy to take and provides additional ‘impact energy’ which acts quickly – perfect for a half time tonic.
Traditionally available via prescription through the NHS, the makers of GlucoGel have now launched a website that allows for direct purchasing for sports people looking to trial the product. For further details, go to www.glucogel.co.uk.
Lyn Rees from manufacturers BBI Healthcare says:
“GlucoGel could be the Premiership’s best kept secret essentially becoming West Ham’s 12th man! It’s been helping people with diabetes for over 20 years, and it’s great that West Ham United are now seeing the benefits. Let’s hope the extra energy provided by GlucoGel will help the team to victory in Glucogel’s home town of Cardiff for the FA Cup.”
