Supplements
Supplement use is a widespread and accepted practice by athletes,
with a high prevalence of use and a large range of different types and brands of products.
The decision of an athlete to use a specific supplement should only be made after careful
consideration of several issues such as safety,
legality and is it actually going to improve performance.
It is very common to observe athletes taking a chaotic pattern of
supplements and a never ending range of products that claim to provide benefits to
improve sporting performance. The poor regulation of sports supplements in many
countries allows athletes and coaches to be the target of marketing campaigns
based on exaggerated claims.
However scientific studies have identified a number of products that can
potentially offer benefits to performance and helping to meet nutritional requirements.
Before starting supplements Peaknutrition can provide the athlete with a full nutritional
analysis to show if there is a need for a specific product and we can also recommend what
supplements are safe and legal to use.
