FOR TEAMS & PERFORMANCE STAFF

A clinical procurement brief for the coaches and dietitians who can't afford a missed dose.

This page is written for NCAA strength & conditioning coaches, registered sports dietitians, and tactical performance programs sourcing supplements for an entire roster — not a single athlete's cart. Inside: the two B2B product lines we run, the exact operating specs (MOQs, NET-30 invoicing, CoA delivery), and the reference roster of programs already on protocol.

Serving NCAA Power-5 programs, three NFL franchises, and federal tactical operators under NDA. Specific clients available on request, in writing, to verified procurement contacts.

A published Certificate of Analysis document resting on a Boulder lab bench, signed by an in-house analyst.

§ 02 — WHO SOURCES FROM US

If your job title is on this list, you're in the right procurement brief.

Each panel names the buyer, the program they run, and the line they typically source. If none of these describe you, the consumer site at waytogonutrition.com is the better entry point.

  1. 01

    NCAA Strength & Conditioning Coaches

    Head S&C, Assistant S&C, Sport-Specific S&C — Power-5 and Division I programs.

    You write the supplement protocol for 60–120 athletes across multiple sport programs and need NSF Certified for Sport coverage on 100% of SKUs — not just the creatine. The NCAA Team Bulk line is built for locker-room dispensers and pre-packaged travel kits.

    Default line → NCAA Team Bulk · 5 gal pails · single-serve packets

  2. 02

    Registered Sports Dietitians (RDN, CSSD)

    Performance Dietitians embedded with collegiate, professional, and national-team programs.

    You author fueling windows and need a supplier whose dose-and-formulation decisions you can cite in a published position stand without a footnote apology. Every Way to Go formula is benchmarked against ISSN exercise-nutrition position stands and authored by our in-house PhD team.

    Default line → NCAA Team Bulk · plus single-SKU peri-workout carbs

  3. 03

    Tactical Performance Programs

    Military special-ops support, federal law-enforcement training units, fire & EMS conditioning.

    You need operational dosing for sustained-load work (ruck marches, structural-firefighter intervals, breach-and-clear drills) with no stimulants on the banned-substance screen and no supply-chain paperwork that breaks your facility's clearance protocol. The Tactical Athlete Series ships under NDA with abbreviated CoA bundles on request.

    Default line → Tactical Athlete Series · NDA required

  4. 04

    Pro-Team & Olympic Federation Buyers

    Equipment managers, team operations, federation procurement — NFL, NBA, NHL, USOPC partners.

    You need invoicing on NET-30 terms with a PO-friendly SKU list, predictable lead times across a 9-month competitive calendar, and a supplier that already passes your league's banned-substance audit. Three NFL franchises source through this program under confidentiality.

    Default line → Hybrid · custom formulation available > 5,000 unit orders
