The Team
The people behind Nosht as a company are passionate about helping people live an active lifestyle in an approachable way. They come from diverse backgrounds, creating an ability for Nosht to create food products that are always surprising, and very relevant for our lives today. Here’s a few highlights from the Nosht team:
Struggling with gut problems during long days cycling in the Alps, Nosht founder and cyclist Petteri Kankkunen was determined to identify which foods he could eat that wouldn’t bother his stomach. Petteri’s not the only one with this problem. According to some studies, up to 50% of distance runners have suffered from gastrointestinal issues while training or racing.
“So many of us know how stomach issues can ruin a race or take joy out of training. Just like having strong quadricep muscles, you benefit when your gut is in top shape. At its best, a well-functioning stomach is like an extra muscle, enhancing energy, nutrients and fluid absorption.” – Kaisa Sali, triathlete & sports nutritionist
Great tastes that stimulate your senses
“For Nosht, functionality doesn’t mean dull, artificial flavours that are typical of sports nutrition. Sports food can be delicious, stimulate the senses and boost the feeling of wellness. It’s fascinating to bring my fine dining knowledge to Nosht’s products.” – Heikki Liekola, chef
