Do you remember the first time you used a carbon-plated shoe? That's exactly how it feels to take Nomio!
Nomio serves two main purposes in your training cycle: performance and recovery, made from a high concentration of broccoli sprout extracts. Nomio can be taken three hours before a hard session or race, or one hour before bed after a hard session or race.
The Breakdown
You might be asking yourself what the heck Nomio is and how it works. You've come to the right place. Nomio contains isothiocyanates (ITCs); these are naturally occurring compounds found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli.
Scientists observed during trials that the consumption of ITCs during intense exercise sessions activated and increased Nrf2 protein in skeletal muscles. This suggests that a shot of Nomio delivers ITCs in a bioavailable form, resulting in a shift in the lactate threshold curve and increased recovery time. To match the ITCs found in one shot, you would have to each consume approximately 2.5-3 kg of raw broccoli before a workout, which is highly unlikely.
How do you use Nomio?
Now that we understand the science behind the product, how do you use Nomio during your training cycle.
Nomio is best used 3 hours before a hard session or race. If you're short on time, the product can also be taken 2 hours before. The optimal performance window is three hours before; the effect gradually declines after this period. Nomio can be consumed regularly with other products, drinks, gels, etc it does not affect the potency
Basic Protocol:
• Take 60ml shot 3 hours before hard session/race
• Eat and drink normally (no dietary restrictions)
• Perform your workout/race
• Optional: Take another dose before bed after particularly hard sessions
Nomio can be used for most training activities, including running (middle-distance/long distance), cycling (time trials, road races), cross-country skiing, triathlon, rowing, swimming (middle to long)
Developed in Sweden, Nomio is built on a eight years of research at Karolinska Institutet (KI) and the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences (GIH). Developed from studies exploring the role of lactate in the context of intense exercise.
Real feedback from the Culture Athletics Community
“I use Nomio for my biggest training days, particularly threshold sessions, hard long runs, key race-specific workouts, and races ranging from the 10K to the marathon. I’ve found it helps me maintain the quality of my work while reducing perceived effort as a workout or race gets harder, and I feel like I recover better afterwards. This is especially valuable for me when I’m stacking big training days and working towards bigger goals. It’s become a consistent part of my routine whenever I’m looking to get the most out of a key session or race.”

“This supplement has made a real difference in how I handle tough workouts. It noticeably improves lactate tolerance, keeps my legs fresher deep into intervals, and speeds up recovery afterward. For anyone pushing hard in training or gearing up for races, it's a simple addition that delivers exactly where it counts.”

“As a HYROX athlete, Nomio has been a great resource for supporting my training, racing performance, recovery, and adaptations. From a performance perspective, using Nomio before hard training sessions and races has helped me tolerate the highly intense muscular demands of stations like the sled push and walking lunges. As a recovery supplement, Nomio has also been a valuable part of my routine during demanding blocks of training. Given the amount of muscular stress and damage that can occur when training for HYROX, I consider it an important part of my preparation and recovery.”

“With some help from Nomio, it is possible to dig a little deeper than normal in the saddle. Perfect for those extra-hard intervals or when racing. Culture Athletics has fast delivery, making the purchase process easy and convenient.”

Nomio works best taken 3 hours before hard training or racing. If time is tight, 2 hours before is acceptable. Peak effectiveness aligns with intense performance around the 3-hour mark. Effects begin tapering after 6 hours as the compound metabolizes.
Refrigerated storage is recommended for long-term use, providing 8 months of shelf life from production when kept cold and dark, with a clearly marked best-before date on the packaging. At room temperature, Nomio stays fresh for up to 8 weeks, making it ideal for travel to competitions, training camps, or convenient everyday access. For best results, store away from direct sunlight in a cool, dark place when not refrigerated, and shake well before consuming.
Nomio has been well-tolerated in research studies with athletes. Its gentle formula features natural, organic ingredients: broccoli sprout extract, lemon, and sugar in a small 60ml volume. Taken 3 hours before exercise, it's well before race start and contains no artificial sweeteners or complex ingredients. Athletes with sensitive stomachs have successfully incorporated Nomio into their routine. As with any new product, we recommend trying it in training before using it on race day.
Yes, absolutely. Unlike some supplements, Nomio does not require food for absorption and causes no stomach upset even on an empty stomach.

Take Nomio when you wake up, and you're ready for your workout 3 hours later.
Lower lactate levels mean your body works more efficiently at the same speed. This could help in a marathon by reducing fatigue and preserving energy stores, even though marathon running uses different energy systems than shorter races.
