IRVINE, Calif., June 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Orgain, the maker of high-quality doctor-developed clean nutrition products, has partnered with a group of strategic athlete investors to establish Orgain's Athlete Advisory Council. Athletes on the council include Victor Oladipo (NBA, Miami Heat), Langston Galloway (NBA, Phoenix Suns), Thaddeus Young (NBA, Chicago Bulls), Byron Jones (NFL, Miami Dolphins), Joe Thomas (retired NFL), Mark Sanchez (retired NFL) and Desmond Howard (retired NFL).

The newly formed Orgain Athlete Advisory Council goes beyond a simple endorsement and leverages the athletes' positions as Orgain shareholders to drive a long-term contribution to the company's growth with a specific focus on functional benefits, taste and ingredients to truly inform product development. Additionally, Orgain will rely on the council's strategic input to help shape authentic content and marketing plans, educate consumers and drive credibility.

"I have been a longtime fan of Orgain and experienced the benefits of organic, clean nutrition firsthand, seeing and feeling how it helped fuel my pursuits both on and off the court," said Victor Oladipo. "But clean, organic and plant-based nutrition isn't only for professional athletes; it's for everyone, and I look forward to helping the Orgain team elevate their game even more, turning both elite and everyday athletes into believers."

Patricof Co. clients on the council include Victor Oladipo, Langston Galloway, Thaddeus Young, Byron Jones and Joe Thomas.
