More and more people incorporate sports supplements into their training regime and diet, but there isn't a lot of good information out there to help them make informed decisions. What should you take? What shouldn't you take? What will actually benefit you?

Sports supplements are a global industry, and a vast array of sports supplements are now available from supplement companies, gyms, health food stores, and supermarkets. And they're not just something that hard-core gym goers are interested in. Many of us use supplements to support our training and recovery. But we're faced with an increasingly difficult choice, and a lot of the information provided is written by the manufacturers, making it highly biased, hyped, and not always scientifically grounded.

This fully updated second edition of Sports Supplements is packed with clear, reliable, and unbiased advice. Written by respected sports nutritionist Anita Bean, author of The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (seventh edition), this is a friendly, accessible, must-have guide for anyone considering taking supplements to aid performance or recovery.
