Why Do Athletes Need Nutritional Supplements? Nutritional supplements are required because: –Very few athletes are able to get all the nutrients their body needs through their daily diet. –Many sports make additional demands on certain nutrient requirements. –Heavy training places additional load on many physiological systems.

The Aim of Supplementation The aim of nutritional supplementation in athletes is –Ensure optimal performance in training and competition. –Minimise recovery time and maximise repeat effort. –Keep the athlete healthy and well so they can perform without illness interruptions.

Traditional Delivery Systems Traditional supplements delivery systems have significant drawbacks: Pills, not assimilated into the body efficiently need water to take them swallowing pills can be difficult Powders not very convenient usually don’t taste good & Potions need to be refrigerated are not very portable

Sports origin of Gels Gel packs originally developed to deliver carbohydrate as a fuel during endurance events. Glen Jensen asked why the same packaging technology couldn’t be used, with a unique suspension gel base, to deliver other nutrients. The result was Agel.
