According to the release, Herbalife Nutrition’s experts will help Gambit’s players develop individual nutrition and training programmes, as well as maintain a high level of motivation.
Herbalife Nutrition is the official sponsor of multiple high profile athletes, teams and traditional sports events. Its list of partners includes Cristiano Ronaldo, LA Galaxy and La Liga. The company is also working with the National Olympic Committees of five countries.
Nina Kandelaki, Vice-President and General Manager of Herbalife Nutrition, commented: “This collaboration with Gambit Esports opens the unique world of esports with its enormous potential and rapidly growing audience of young fans.
“We are looking forward to working with the team to help them improve their overall nutrition by integrating personalised advice and products into the players’ lives. As a partner of the Gambit Esports team, we share their ambition of continuing improvement and high performance.”
Other esports partners that Herbalife Nutrition has teamed up with in the past include Overwatch League franchise Guangzhou Charge. Earlier this year, Gambit Esports secured a one-year partnership with cryptocurrency exchange platform EXMO.
The dietary supplements company was criticised in the past regarding its structure which resulted in changing its business model. Later, Herbalife also faced charges of corruption and bribery in China by US Government bodies, which were settled in court, with the company neither admitting nor denying the claims.

Moreover, the dietary supplements company —which works with well-respected organisations and athletes within traditional sports — has now clearly shown it’s aiming to further infiltrate the esports scene.
