Summary

What dietary supplements should triathletes and endurance athletes consider using based on current evidence? We go through a recent review paper that has analysed all the current evidence to come up with clear guidelines for which supplements are potentially beneficial and which will just result in expensive pee. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT: -Supplements used to prevent or treat nutrient deficiencies -Supplements (sports foods) used to provide a practical form of energy and nutrients -Supplements that directly improve sports performance -Supplements that improve performance indirectly -Adverse effects and antidoping rule violations from lack of quality assurance in supplement manufacturing SHOWNOTES: https://scientifictriathlon.com/tts193/ THAT TRIATHLON SHOW HOMEPAGE: www.thattriathlonshow.com SPONSORS: Precision Hydration - One-size doesn't fit all when it comes to hydration.

0:00.0	That Traathlon Show, 193.
0:17.7	Hey, what's up, everybody, and welcome back to another episode of that triathlon show.
0:23.4	The podcast presented by Scientific Traathlon.com.
0:27.3	I'm your host Michael and on today's episode I review a review on supplements in sport
0:32.6	and of course our focus here in particular will be endurance sports.
0:37.3	This particular review paper is the International Olympic Committee Consensus Statement.
0:43.1	It's called dietary supplements and the high performance athlete.
0:47.5	And this was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, so a very high-impact journal
0:52.6	and has a couple dozen contributors, which are
0:56.1	all the best of the best in the field in sports nutrition, really. So it's a big thing to have been
1:03.1	released. It was released earlier this year in 2019, and I've had it on my list of research papers
1:08.4	that I want to read for a few months now, but didn't

1:31.2	getting for Q&A episodes regarding things like caffeine, nitrate, magnesium, antioxidants,
1:38.6	etc.
1:39.1	Because I do get quite a few of those.
1:41.2	So you could consider this the master answer to all those questions, because if
1:45.9	a supplement hasn't been positively supported by this paper, then it probably doesn't have
1:52.6	enough evidence behind it to back it up as something that that really should be recommended
1:58.6	at this point in time. That doesn't mean that it's not working. It just means that there's no recommended at this point in time. That doesn't mean that it's not
