Elite athletes such as Nino Schurter and Patrick Benz rely on tailored HCK micronutrient supplementation aligned with individual needs for sustainable peak performance.
Successful collaboration with sports physicians for over 20 years
The Hepart Group has been working with elite athletes and their medical support teams for more than 20 years. Supplementation is firmly established in elite sports—but not individualized supplementation; standard products are often used.
Every player in a football team receives an individually tailored HCK micronutrient blend based on their specific lab values. The individual results proved us right, enabling us to earn the trust of the medical support teams.
Ultimately, all our customers benefit from the insights gained in elite sports—those who face high demands in everyday life and deliver top performance.
What are the key insights from our collaboration with elite athletes?
There are two key reasons why elite athletes rely on HCK: effective energy supply at the cellular level on the one hand, and short recovery phases on the other. And in both cases, a well-functioning metabolism is the prerequisite.
Whether football, handball, skiing, or cycling—wherever peak performance is achieved in sport, athletes need energy, not only in the bloodstream but all the way into individual cells and their integrated power plants, the mitochondria. With a healthy metabolism, the body can supply all cells sufficiently—this is the basis for achieving top performance and increasing endurance.
After competition or training comes the next competition. Short recovery phases are crucial to restore the cells stressed during training and to be fit for the next effort. Here, too, it is crucial that the metabolism functions smoothly. And because every person is unique, everyone has individual needs and requires an individual composition of micronutrients.
Elite athletes such as Nino Schurter and the entire Team SCOTT SRAM, as well as triathlete Patrick Benz and the handball team HSC Kreuzlingen, benefit from the advantages of the individualized micronutrient blend and are ambassadors for HCK.
“My first HCK® micronutrient blend exceeded my expectations!”
Nino Schurter is at the top of mountain biking:
A historic moment was created in Lenzerheide in 2023 when Nino Schurter broke the world record with his 𝟯4. 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗰𝘂𝗽-𝗦𝗶𝗲𝗴 at the legendary home race. Shortly afterwards, the athlete from Graubünden increased his tally to 35 World Cup titles with his victory in Val di Sole.
With the bronze medal at the Mountain Bike World Championships in Scotland, Nino Schurter increased his World Championship medal collection to 13.

“With HCK, I have an individual micronutrient blend. The measure–make–measure method is ideal for me. As an athlete and coach, this is very important to me. As a Swiss athlete, I am of course very pleased to be able to use a micronutrient product from Switzerland with HCK®.”
How can our customers benefit from the insights gained in elite sports?
All of us perform at a physical and mental level at work or in the family. In certain phases of life, the body needs additional support—this may be in a stressful working life or when managing the responsibilities of household and family, or specific physical strains on the body such as pregnancy, menopause, and much more.
Our society is performance-oriented, and we tend to put ourselves under pressure. This also costs our body energy and requires regeneration at the cellular level.
To do so, it is necessary to know the individual need for essential micronutrients and to meet it optimally. This enables the body to provide energy every day and to regenerate overnight.
When reserves are continuously replenished and nutrients are effectively delivered to the cells, performance can be achieved and bodily functions run smoothly. The insights from elite sports show what effects can be achieved when individual micronutrient needs are met—faster recovery, more energy.
