Burlington, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 9, 2026) - Promino Nutritional Sciences, Inc. (CSE: MUSL) (OTC: MUSLF) (FSE: 93X) ("Promino" or the "Company"), a developer of advanced proprietary amino acid formulations for muscle health, today announced a multi-sport Name, Image and Likeness ("NIL") partnership with eight NCAA Division I student-athletes at the Virginia Military Institute ("VMI").
This agreement marks the formal launch of the Promino NCAA Athlete Platform, a strategic initiative designed to provide collegiate athletes with the Company's NSF Certified for Sport proprietary amino acid formulations. The partnership includes eight cadet-athletes across VMI's leading Division I programs, who will integrate the formulation into their training and recovery protocols.
Strategic Entry and Scalability
The Company intends to utilize this multi-sport program as a model for potential expansion into additional NCAA athletic programs, subject to future agreements. Promino's performance platform is engineered to support muscle protein synthesis and recovery through precise, low-calorie formulations.
Unlike traditional protein formats that require lengthy digestion, Promino's proprietary ratio is designed for rapid absorption, delivering muscle-building support without "digestive drag" or excess calories.
Leadership Commentary
"This is a foundational step in building Promino's presence within NCAA Division I athletics," said Vito Sanzone, CEO of Promino. "Our proprietary formulations are engineered to deliver efficient muscle support by bypassing the breakdown required by traditional protein. We believe this approach aligns with the evolving needs of modern elite athletes who demand results without digestive limitations."
"VMI cadet-athletes compete with discipline, intensity and purpose across all Division I programs," said Jamaal Walton, Director of Athletics at VMI.
"This partnership provides our athletes access to advanced sports nutrition while supporting NIL opportunities that recognize their commitment to excellence and performance across multiple sports. Thank you to Promino for entrusting our cadet-athletes to serve as brand ambassadors of your company. To be a model for future expansion across NCAA programs shows VMI Athletics is a brand that is onward and upward."
