About Us

The Founders, Greg & Sheree created BODYSCIENCE® out of a love to develop and provide the best sports and nutrition products to consumers. Greg saw the niche of performance lifestyle sports nutrition as an important part of training for fitness, health and sports not just bodybuilding.  The OG entity was called BSc Physical & Mental Performance.

These early days saw Greg developing products out of his Gold Coast garage, his seed funding a Persian rug, desk & 4 door metal sliding door file cabinet given to him by his hardworking parents who believed in his dream and vision.  

The BodyScience® logo was trademarked, the original whey protein isolate powder was a huge flavour success and BODYSCIENCE® was on its way to becoming a force that pioneered the Australian sports and nutrition industry.

Tribulus PLUS 10000, a non-hormonal preparation of plant origin,  was the  #1 selling International product for Greg’s previous company FarLabs. It is used by athletes as well as the “general public” for these reasons and for the sense of well being it provides.  Driven by a passion and personal responsibility to provide products that are clean and ethical yet improve their customer's health and fitness, the capsule formula using the respected ingredients Tribulus fruit and Tribulus root is launched under the Body Science brand making BODYSCIENCE® one of the few real complete product mix supplement brands from Australia, in a US-dominated market. Almost at once, the BSc brand is re-branded, and both the word Body Science® and the logo BSc® are born.

The therapeutic launch sets Body Science as one of the few complete product mix sports supplement brands in Australia.

After fielding an SOS from legendary Roosters trainer Ronnie Palmer in the 2002 season, Body Science entered into their first professional contract with an NRL team and as the Chooks pushed to the premiership with renewed vigour thanks to better nutrition and recovery and hence the Body Science Secret was well and truly out. Body Science “Official Supplement Supplier” explodes with several NRL clubs. After negotiations, 2003 & beyond has Body Science as the “Official Supplement Supplier” to NRL, AFL, Super 14, A-League teams nationally. In a time when sports nutrition was not an athletic norm. It was results that attracted the athletes such as Olympians and elite individual sportsmen and women including Kenny Wallace, Andrew Bogut, Stephanie Rice, James Magnussen, Nikki Hudson and many more. Roosters Body Science NRL Premiers 2002.

After a three-game losing streak, Ronnie Palmer head conditioning coach approaches Body Science regarding “Official supplement supplier” for the whole Roosters 2002 squad. One week after commencing the Body Science supplements, the Roosters round 22 win against the Bronco’s proves the turning point in the season. The association proves a winner with significant wins every game leading of course to the proud club title 2002 NRL Premiers. Roosters HISTORY the “official shorts sponsor”. For the first time in history, the club combined its white away jumper and socks with the new white [BSc] home shorts. This generated plenty of discussion and stories of whether our success was attributed to the new sponsor Body Science’s supplements, or whether you were our good luck charm. The team broke tradition with white [BSc] shorts for all remaining matches including the 2002 NRL final. Body Science’s BSc logo receives national and international recognition as “Official Shorts Sponsor” to the NRL premiership team.

Not many people understand the time Body Science has been involved in drug testing. What started with a Triandrobol (Tribulus) study investigating the physiological and psychological effects. The key research health-based variables include blood pressure, psychological responses, liver enzymes, blood glucose, triglycerides and cholesterol concentrations, the hormones testosterone, Luteinizing hormones, Estradiol, Urine samples, protein synthesis (anabolism) and will it reduce protein breakdown (catabolism). There are some very big claims in the industry around Tribulus products, the Body Science research also determines the effects of supplementation of Tribulus to ensure athletes will not fail standard sports drug tests. The Abstract is resented at the Sports Medicine Australia conference in Canberra in October 2003. Their endowing approach to the testing process to ensure that all the products are clean, do what they say they will do and are effective for customers, gives Greg and Nathan incredible satisfaction. They easily sacrifice profit in order to invest into testing and research and this is what sets them apart from rest – they do not take the easy path.

Later that same year Body Science launches a “put your money where your mouth is” study too directly compare the performance enhancing effects of Myocytin against standard creatine monohydrate. Athletes are tested both prior to and after a 5-day loading period. Performance tests include vertical jumps, multiple bench press tests and repeated running sprints monitored by light sensitive timing gates – while athletes are also be measured for total body weight. The data collected in this study is used to determine if Myocytin is superior to standard creatine at enhancing explosive power, muscular endurance, repeated sprint capacity and/or body weight (cellular water content). This study shows Body Science stands behind its product, with results that ensure “Trust”. The Abstract is presented at the Sports Medicine Australia conference in Canberra October 2003.

Greg knew he couldn’t achieve things alone and needed sales expertise to expand its horizons. Nathan’s sales nous and strategic analysis helped forge the company into an industry leader. It all happened with a chance meeting on Sydney Harbour with a boat load of elite NRL payers & one sports management company’s Christmas party – Nathan and Greg enjoying beers on the back of the boat forge a relationship based on mutual respect in sports marketing with Body Science working in sports nutrition & Nathan working in eyewear. They designed & sponsored many sporting events together, Greg recalls the day Nathan called up & said he wanted out of the optical industry after being in for 21 years. A week later Nathan called and said he had enrolled in a physiology course. At that time Greg said we want a sales manager how much do you earn. Greg realised that was impossible & jokingly said you could buy in. The rest is history, Nathan was such a believer in the company that he bought into the business spurring a extraordinary multi decade journey and together officially to chase a dream in an industry that was full of first’s in Australia.

Aspiring sporting teams now have access to the best training nutrition, compression garments and recovery products, it wasn’t the case in 2004 and Nathan & Greg found themselves converting athletes and teams from the celebrated post-game “beer and pie” to proper nutrition and recovery methods. Amateur and Professional athletes and coaches now got it – you can’t just rely on talent and training alone – the body has to be fuelled to perform at its best and teams and individuals filled their tanks to the brim and the success followed. Australian sporting icon, Australian Champions undertakes an innovative strategy with Body Science’s Human Performance Specialists, analysing supplement programs, diet and working closely with the strength & conditioning program on a day by day basis.

Greg & Nathan want something different. The science behind compression garments is not new and have been used clinically for many years to treat venous insufficiency, edema and prevent deep vein thrombosis in postoperative patients. The idea of compression in sport exists, the targeted compression concept is new. They can’t find a seamstress that understands the desire to make a garment that works differently. The team want a pattern that can be wrapped around muscle groups working with the warp & weft of the material and does not follow traditional pattern design. The team employs Sheepy, a car seat manufacturer to work with Greg on a design that doesn’t exist. Compression garments aren’t new they have been in medicine for years & recently had started to surface in sport. The new TARGETED MUSCLE GROUP compression garments represent another way for the Body Science brand to safely and legally manipulate human physiology. The result is a garment that is more conducive to high-performance athletes and faster recovery. Due to secrecy, Nathan organizes for the 1st garments to be tested by the Great Britain Rugby League team, outside of Australia.

Their endowing approach to the testing process to ensure that all the products are clean, do what they say they will do and are effective for customers, gives Greg and Nathan incredible satisfaction. They easily sacrifice profit in order to invest in testing and research and this is what sets them apart from the rest – they do not take the easy path.

Recognised internationally for a superior pression garment, Body Science create the World’s 1st compression bobsled suit a race suit for the Great Britain bobsleigh team. Developing this new compression technology from scratch the bobsled team rocket up the world rankings. The story is an interesting one, the team manager call’s Greg at Body Science to pitch the idea would Body Science be happy to make a compression bobsled suit. The team offers to send over a suit to look at. Greg said no, and to this date none of us have actually seen a traditional bobsled suit. Our aim is to make a suit based on what we’ve learnt from making compression garments. The Great Britain bobsled team strategy is to work with experts – McLaren for their helmet & Body Science for their suit. It’s the biggest change in 17 years to race suits and the in-house scientific raw data based on training and international success shows true success of the garment technology. Over that Olympic cycle from 2010-2014, the Bobsled team has the best race suits on the circuit and in a sport where results are decided by thousandth’s of a second and Bobsleigh injuries were greatly reduced. The team management state is from using BSc compression wear around training & in competition. Great Britain gets a bronze medal at The 2014 Winter Olympics, officially called the XXII Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Krasnodar Krai, Russia.

Body Science is the Official Supplement Partner to Essendon Football Club the relationship ends in controversy. The Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigates the legality of its dpoing program during the 2012 AFL season and the preceding preseason. After four years of investigations players at the club were found guilty of injecting a banned peptide and incurred suspensions. Body Science does not manufacture injectables and this is done without our knowledge. Having launched banned substance supplement and having extensive knowledge in safe supplements Greg and Nathan work with the AFL and NRL to assist with its research into supplement use in sports. Body Science at this stage has extensive Official Partner agreement with the NRL, AFL franchises in Australia. Based on its historic involvement in anti-doping processes and its belief in staying abreast of cutting-edge research in this area. Greg Nathan and their research and development team were integral in discussion about how best to regulate sport supplement use across Australia. Today, Athletes and support personnel can use the BODY SCIENCE ONLINE SEARCH TOOL to find out whether the most commonly utilised and over-the-counter Body Science supplements and complementary medicines in the Body Science range have been tested (are permitted) or not tested. While in-store athletes can also search for the status of a product at retailers that they want to purchase in Australia or New Zealand, Body Science has run an anti-doping program since 2002.

Body Science becomes the official supplier for the Red Bull Holden Racing Team. A strategic move demonstrating the smarts of Nathan and Greg to know their market and future market and tapping into them in the most resourceful way. Recognising the athleticism needed to be a Red Bull racing team driver and the energy extended in what doesn’t necessarily appear to require a high level of fitness to compete, Picklum and Young knew that their products could make a huge difference to the fitness and recovery of the drivers and so a partnership was founded and continues today.

This was such a HUGE deal and one that wasn’t lost on the Body Science team – they were ecstatic! Body Science products hit the shelves for the first time and became the mass market product it was destined to be. Life is fitness. Now people can shop their way, find a health food store or gym, or a supermarket that stocks their favourite sports nutrition or convenience products.

Responding to feedback from the Qld Reds team who were struggling to carry several products on the international road - protein powders, amino acids, electrolytes and creatine - Body Science works with the Reds dietitian and head of strength & conditioning to create an all-in-one recovery formula that changed the need to carry several individual products. Elite team feedback is vital to providing ideas for product development, with the finished items then available to a mass market, who Nathan and Greg believe deserve the same range as the best athletes. Once again, a core-value rings true - listening to customers is best practice. The product NITROVOL Lean Muscle. The product of elite sport & currently available in supermarket.

The government makes dramatic changes to the sports nutrition industry. A declaration is made under section 7 of the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 that certain sports supplements (those that include higher-risk ingredients or are in the form of a tablet, pill or capsule) are therapeutic goods. This declaration is aimed at protecting Australian consumers from safety concerns associated with the use of certain sports supplements by clarifying which products are appropriately regulated as medicines. To meet the new caffeine requirements to remain legal within the market the Body Science team have worked alongside our product developers and manufacturers to revise the formulas and ensure the consumer gets the same effective product with each serving. By making small tweaks to caffeine contributing ingredients including green tea, caffeine, guarana and other natural stimulants in each formula our products are now the first on the market to meet regulations without compromising the benefits or the felt effects of the formula. BODYSCIENCE launches the first therapeutic AUSTL pre-workout in Australia.
