Dublin GAA has signed a three year partnership agreement with Armagh based Linwoods Healthfoods which will now become the county teams official health food supplier.
The deal will apply to the Senior inter county teams in football and hurling and has been put together in consultation with team nutritionist Daniel Davey.
“Linwoods products are a rich source of essential nutrients such as essential fats, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that can be used in a variety of ways to improve the nutritional value of main meals and homemade snacks,” said Davey who also works with Leinster Rugby.
“They are excellent for adding to homemade breakfast cereals, muesli, yoghurt, porridge and smoothies as well as making healthy treats.”

The Linwoods Superfoods range, includes a selection of milled and blended seeds, nuts and berries. They include bio-cultures and enzymes which help to produce energy from every cell in the body.
