US Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994:
Dietary Supplement Facts
Out of over 100 NCAA + drug tests in 1-year, the majority were from supplement use.
Almost all lost at least one year of eligibility.
More expensive calorie for calorie than the food they might replace.
Labels are misleading & salespeople lie to you.
Prohormones
Anabolic Steroid Law
Now lists dozens of precursors as Schedule III Substances
ILLEGAL to use or POSSESS DEA can now add others
without changing law Still being sold illegally!!
Sold legally as dietary supplements until January 2005
Many still contain high quantities of caffeine & synephrine
Synephrine known as (Bitter Orange)
Several NCAA + tests
What about the New “Ephedra Free”Versions?
Energy DrinksNOT A SPORTS
DRINK!Contains stimulants Increases HR & BPDiuretic =
DehydrationCan cause + testAlcohol further
contributes to problems
Contains banned substances!
Over 400 mg.
300 mg caffeine
Choose Food Over Supplements
Costs less than supplements
Proteins, Carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals & water
High dose supplements & a crappy diet = $$$ Urine!!
Diet SurveyDo you fuel up pre-
& post-exercise?Do you consume
some CHO, protein, & fat with every meal?
Do you optimally hydrate?
Do you eat more than once a day?
Do you feel energized all week, or are you extremely fatigued by the weekend?
Eat for Performance
Eat on regular basis
Eat within 1 hour of waking
Eat every 3-4 hours throughout the day
Eat something both pre- and post- exercise
Eat for Performance
Carbohydrates fight fatigue
Stay hydrated with Sports drinks or water during workouts
Protein –To help gain massCan add up to 30
grams dayAdd 4oz. lean meat
to meal
Protein Don’ts
Excess only increases fat mass
Don’t waste $ on amino acids – no benefit
Don’t eat protein alone – mix with carbohydrates
To increase weight – eat food more often!
So… should you be studying for your next drug test?
