Coaches Guide to Nutrition: Supplements

Did you know that dietary supplements are not regulated by the government?  

Milk Means More logoEncourage your athletes to utilize food as their first option rather than a supplement.

If your athlete decides to utilize supplements, encourage them to look for supplements with a “USP Verified,” “Informed Sport,” or “NSF Certified Sport” seal.

For athletes, it’s important to note that some supplements (or ingredients in supplements) are banned. This includes some energy drinks; encourage your athletes to utilize supplements with extreme caution.   

Supplements are intended to supplement or add to the diet – not act as a substitute for food. Supplements can include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, probiotics or herbs.
