Summary
Michael Raynor, MS, RD, LDN and Erika Rathke, our dietetic intern, sit down to discuss the large body of research on creatine, beta-alanine, beetroot juice, and sodium bicarb for sports performance. They break down what types of athletes could benefit from these supplements, their mechanism of action in the body, and the pros and cons of supplementing. Before you listen, remember, no supplement can make up for UNDERFUELING. Make sure you are eating a diet containing adequate calories and carbs for your activity level to gain maximal performance benefits from any supplements you want to add in to the mix.
