Years of training and studying the human body’s performance and recovery helped Shelley Huber-Nyuli and Calvin Nyuli become decorated professional bodybuilders. Shelley was the Female Canadian Champion Bodybuilder in 1984 while Calvin won the male title in 1983, 1984, and 1985 and placed 3rd in Mr. Universe in 1986.
Following their retirement, Calvin attended the University of BC to further his knowledge of mammal biology and graduated with a B.Sc. in nutritional biochemistry. The two then moved near a racetrack where Calvin noticed horses’ discomfort during and after the races. He started asking people in the industry questions and discovered that his particular skill-set could help.
Shelley, who had grown up with horses and dogs, was excited about this discovery and the two became determined to improve the lives and performance of horses with a nutritional supplement. Calvin started working on recipes which was the beginning of SciencePure Nutraceuticals Inc.
