Nutrition is a BIG part of Officiating Performance and Fitness. Food supplements are currently NOT regulated by the FDA. Which means… we see false claims every day on advertising and labeling. Go to a store, (or your shelf) and photograph a food label from a Sports Nutrition Supplement.
Type the “Name” of the product.
Copy/Paste a list all the ingredients followed by a common claim (true/false/yet to be proven) you researched on the Web to be associated with each ingredient.
ingredient w -LOSE OR GAIN WEIGHT
ingredient x – ENERGY-BOOST
ingredient y – PERFORMANCE BOOST (POWER, SPEED, STRENGTH, ETC)
ingredient z – SPEEDS RECOVERY
