Sports Nutrition – Meeting the Individual Needs of Athletes

Professional and amateur athletes alike depend on proper nutrition to supply their bodies with the nutrients required to achieve optimal performance. As diet alone may not be enough to provide the adequate amount of nutrients needed, dietary supplements may be utilized to maintain health and enhance athleticism. Every athlete is different physically, metabolically, and in terms of their desired athletic goals, creating a demand for personalized sports nutrition that meets their individual needs.

In this webinar, participants will explore the role of nutrients in satisfying the metabolic and physiologic demands of athletes. Participants will then investigate risk factors for nutritional deficiencies and examine supplements prevalent within the athletic community. The benefits of pharmaceutical compounding will then be discussed, with consideration of opportunities in nutraceutical customization, such as personalized strengths and dosage forms, to help improve compliance and provide optimal results.
