ABOUT:

Research estimates that more than 75% of athletes use dietary supplements for prevention, performance, or recovery. The safety of supplements is a primary concern due to the lack of federal regulations on quality control and potential for contamination or adulteration with substances banned in sport. This session will provide up-to-date information on supplement trends, including new ingredients of concern and best practices for educating athletes about the risks of supplement use.

At the end of this presentation, attendees will be better able to:

Describe current trends in supplement use among athletes.
Identify key ingredients that put athletes at risk for positive drug-tests and adverse health outcomes.
Apply best practices for discussing dietary supplements with athletes.

Target Audience: ATs, RDs, CSCS, and other sports medicine or athlete support staff
