Sports Supplementation Guides

The Supplement Standards guides section is a growing collection of thoroughly researched guides for athletes, coaches and those taking (or thinking about taking) sports supplements. The guides cover the important things to consider when using sports supplements, such as the best times to take supplements, how to take supplements and when to stop taking supplements.

This section of the website will also feature articles providing context on anti-doping initiatives such as WADA’s prohibited list. If there is a topic you would like Supplement Standards to cover in more detail, let us know by emailing [email protected].
