Sports nutrition is a rapidly expanding area of scientific investigation and is being driven by high interest from both the academic community and the exercising public [1]. Research into the discipline of sports nutrition is challenging. The interaction of exercise and nutrition is both complex and compelling, with an endless array of potential sports nutrition products, pathways, and hypotheses to be tested. Some proposed sports nutrition strategies and products are innovative while others are based on fanciful conjecture [2]. Research designs for sports nutrition-based studies need to adhere to the highest quality standards to determine efficacy [1,3]. Nutrition dosing regimens are always challenging and, unfortunately, these are often based more on educated guesses and marketing issues than careful science. Many sports nutrition products have blends of macro- and micro-nutrients and phytochemicals that have clinical backing for some of the individual ingredients but not the entire mixture. Few sports nutrition products have been tested for stability, absorption, disposition, metabolism, and excretion.
