Major food maker Ajinomoto is providing nutrition support to Japanese athletes who are set to compete in the Paris Olympics, which starts this month.

The company is providing some athletes with not only its food products but also advice, such as on well-balanced diets, hoping to help them fine-tune their physical and mental health for the massive sports event.

Together with the Japanese Olympic Committee, Ajinomoto in 2003 launched the Victory Project to further support top Japanese athletes.
