<h1>Sports-nutrition sponsor touts patented protein benefits after athletes dominate race; promotional claims may draw consumer protection scrutiny</h1> At a Mumbai fitness race, sponsored athletes dominated podiums and an unnamed competitor set a new national sub-60-minute record in the men's open category. The sponsor-identified in the release as a leading sports-nutrition company-promoted multiple podium finishes and asserted proprietary and clinical benefits for a patented protein formulation, including improved absorption and BCAA uptake. The communication reads as a promotional press release containing product and performance claims, includes a medical disclaimer, and notes the distributing news agency disclaims editorial responsibility, raising potential consumer-protection and advertising-claims scrutiny.
