CJ Food & Nutrition Tech and KAGED Announce Exciting Collaboration, Bringing Shared Values and Commitments Together

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill., Sept. 25, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- CJ Food & Nutrition Tech (CJ FNT) and KAGED are excited to announce their collaboration, which marks CJ FNT's first AMINATURE^® brand partnership. Both companies are thrilled to be working together as they share the same values when it comes to transparency, quality, clean ingredients, and science-based research, making this partnership incredibly strong.

By combining their expertise, the two brands aim to revolutionize the Pre-KAGED^® ELITE product line, KAGED's most advanced all-in-one pre-workout containing only premium ingredients. Pre-KAGED ELITE contains CJ FNT's AMINATURE L-citrulline, a natural amino acid that is produced through microbial fermentation. L-Citrulline boosts nitric oxide production in the body, which improves blood flow and can lead to increased muscle pump, improved endurance, and reduced fatigue.  

Brain Rand, KAGED's Chief Innovation Officer states, "Pre-KAGED ELITE is taking the pre-workout category to the next level with 10,000mg per serving of AMINATURE L-Citrulline. We are excited to partner with CJ FNT to provide our elite athletes and customers with the highest quality vegan L-Citrulline on the market." 

"We are thrilled to partner with KAGED on this groundbreaking initiative," said Steve Pak, Chief Marketing Officer of CJ FNT. "KAGED is a respected leader in the sports nutrition industry, and their commitment to quality and innovation is aligned with our own. We believe that this partnership will allow us to create a product that will revolutionize the pre-workout category." 

Both CJ FNT and KAGED will work together to prioritize the health, joy, and convenience of their discerning customers. Through the integration of CJ FNT's AMINATURE into KAGED's ELITE product line, the companies will continue to uphold their commitment to delivering exceptional high-quality science-backed products. Stay tuned for updates on both companies' social media, websites, and media outlets.
