Supplements and
Nutrition

Athletes can support their training and progress towards their targets by eating and enjoying nutritious food. With a bit of planning, it is possible to eat a delicious and healthy diet made up of a variety of food types at the right time, and in the right quantities.

Athletes should assess the need, the risks, and the consequences before deciding to take a supplement, and if they need to use one, visit the Informed Sport website –  to check whether supplements have been batch-tested.

More advice on managing supplement risks can be found on UKAD’s Supplement Hub here.
