#233: Joey Savage's Pump-Boosting Probiotic and the Future of Nutrition at Savage Nutra - The PricePlow Podcast | Lyssna här

Joey Savage returns for Episode #233 of the PricePlow Podcast, and he’s got two announcements stacked on top of each other:

First: the inaugural Future Nutra Innovation Summit (FNIS), a September 9-11 blend of trade show, educational summit, and lake resort retreat that Joey’s nonprofit built from scratch.
Second: Savage Nutra‘s newest ingredient deal, Tensia, a probiotic strain that produces its own nitric oxide from dietary nitrates and already has a home in Alpha Lion‘s newly relaunched SuperHuman Jacked.

Ben and Mike get the full download on both. Joey walks through what makes FNIS different from a typical trade show (hint: it’s built more like a tech company retreat than a supply-side booth crawl), then pivots into the science behind Tensia, a second ingredient made from upcycled duckweed protein, and where strain-specific probiotics are headed next.
