Renowned sports nutritionist Anita Bean takes you through each supplement and explains what they are, how to use them and if they really work – as well as suggesting other alternatives.

This book did not really do much for me. The information is very basic. I was looking for something a little bit more technical..

Anita Bean provides clear information and, although there are references to scientific papers, this isn’t an arid text book. It covers a variety of supplements that may be suitable for endurance and explosive sports, as well as for weight training. It would have been useful to have commented on:* Coenzyme Q10 and its effect on mitacondria in aerobic exercise;* reports that CLA can increase oxidative stress in endurance athletes;* whether vitamin C reduces endurance and post-exercise muscle adaption.Nevertheless, it is a useful book to judge whether certain supplements are likely to promote recovery or increase performance.

This is such an excellent resource for anyone considering taking sports supplements. It provides up to date, evidence based advice so you can be confident that you are making informed choices about your supplements. Anita Bean is great at translating science into user friendly reference guides. I have 4 of her books now and they are my ‘go-to’ guides for any nutritional query, I would highly recommend them to anyone interested in sports nutrition.

Great book and plenty of information I really have to absorb. I am not a professional/personal sport trainer, but really love to know about the most common supplements and vitamins. I found this book very useful and hope you will too. 😉
