Sports nutrition and functional ingredients - what the science says
We're regularly bombarded with messaging around sports nutrition and functional supplements, but how can consumers navigate their way through what can be complex subjects?
In this episode of the Food Matters Live podcast, recorded at our Ascot event, three scientists cut through the pseudoscience and use real evidence to help us do just that.
We discover how hydrogel technology has enabled marathon times to improve so dramatically that 85% of the top 100 performances have occurred in just the last six years, and why the magnesium market is suffering from misinformation.
Our panel also touches on the perceived benefits of turmeric extract and ashwagandha.
The clear message from all of our speakers; when it comes to supplements, the industry needs more focus on outcome measurements, sufficiency, and what all the evidence actually shows.
