The Research

At VIIITAL, we believe that nutritional innovation should be evidence-led and products should have genuine benefit. Our mission is to provide a platform whereby underserved groups can access targeted nutritional solutions through high-quality, rigorous research.

Formulated off the back of research led by Leeds Beckett University, PROGEL® is our breakthrough essential amino acid gel providing targeted support for muscle health to ageing populations and those recovering from illness. The research has focused on understanding the relationship between amino acids, muscle health, and normal dietary intake in underserved populations.

Explore the clinical insights supporting this scientific innovation that makes PROGEL® a leader in supporting muscle health.
