Powering the Rams: The Turmeric Co. partners with Derby Count

The Turmeric Co. are pleased to announce a new partnership with  Derby County Football Club, with the award-winning nutrition brand set to support the club throughout the 2025/26 season.

Derby County currently competes in the EFL Championship, a league widely recognised for its demanding schedule, physical intensity and limited recovery time between fixtures.

As part of the partnership, The Turmeric Co. will supply Derby County’s playing staff with a range of performance-focused turmeric shots  , supporting the nutritional routines used around training and match days.

Nutrition in modern football

Modern professional football places significant physical demands on players.

High-intensity training, repeated match exposure and congested fixture lists mean that nutrition is an established component of the wider performance environment, alongside medical, conditioning and recovery support.

Within elite sport, there has been growing interest in food-first approaches that prioritise whole ingredients as part of daily nutrition strategies. Turmeric has a long history of use within traditional diets and continues to be widely researched for its role in supporting the body’s natural inflammatory response.

At Championship level, where physical output and recovery demands are consistently high across a long season, clubs typically integrate nutrition products that are practical, consistent and suitable for regular use.

Supporting supporters

The partnership also extends beyond the training ground. Derby County supporters will have access to an exclusive discount , allowing fans to purchase the same turmeric shots used by the club’s playing staff.

This collaboration reflects the continued integration of real-food nutrition within professional football, as clubs look to support players through consistent and practical nutritional solutions.

The Turmeric Co. Founder and CEO, Thomas Robson-Kanu, said: "We're thrilled to bring our blends to Pride Park. Since bringing our homemade shots to market in 2018, we've grown our partnerships in professional sport year-on-year, which is a real testament to the efficacy of our products. I look forward to seeing how our natural, science-backed solutions help the players recovery and perform their best across a demanding season.
