overwhelming choice of products in the form of energy bars,
gels and drinks. In the professional sector especially,
competition is fierce and men and women often need to use
supplements to improve performance and increase stamina.

for sporting performance. Professional sports players and
athletes have to subject their bodies to stringent routines
to maintain optimum performance. Supplements can do a lot to
keep an athlete at his or her peak.

athlete. It is the only tool they have to make a living.

into being a professional sportsman or women, it is hardly
surprising that the body needs supplementation.

medical professional. In so doing, you can be sure that the
supplements he or she recommends are safe. Sports
nutritional supplements are not subject to regulation by the
FDA. This basically means that anyone can produce and sell a
supposedly useful supplement.

The health dangers of drugs that enhance sporting
performance have been well publicized, and major sporting

that nutritional supplements can be equally as dangerous.
For instance, long term use of protein supplements by
weight-lifters can have negative health consequences.
