Abstract: Definition of sports supplements: A food, a component of the food, a nutrient, or a non-nutritional component is ingested in addition to foods consumed daily in order to achieve specific health and/or beneficial performance. Nutritional supplements should be consumed to supplement a balanced diet, not as a substitute. Nutritional supplements should not be administered by approaching the "Same for All" system; it should be considered that athletes train for different goals (problems with body composition, recovery after injuries) and train with different loads. Sports nutrition products such as sports drinks and protein refreshments are not considered nutritional supplements. The approach to nutritional supplements should be in accordance with the WADA Code (World Anti-Doping Agency) which stipulates that all supplements used do not contain prohibited substances in sports. Nutrient supplements are preparations that have in their composition macronutrients, micronutrients and other edible substances. Protein consumption is crucial for any individual involved in strong, vigorous workouts. 1 gram of protein has 4 calories. Protein is essential for growth and repair.
