Gels, shakes or bars - never has the demand for sports nutrition been greater with a growing emphasis upon multi-functional applications offering energy, hydration and recovery all in one formulation.
Manufacturers make use of a broad range of ingredients to ensure athletes have the required macronutrients to meet their needs on the field. Formulators use protein, carbohydrates and dietary fibre for nutrient replacement before, during and after exercise.
Taste and palatabiltiy of sports nutrition products is an essential consideration with many products available to athletes on the market. Sweeteners and flavouring systems can make the difference in meeting consumer demands.
Sports nutrition ingredients are specialised components designed to enhance athletic performance and recovery. Formulations are tailored to meet a specific athletic objective.

Protein is a cornerstone nutrient in an athlete’s diet, playing a pivotal role in muscle repair, growth, and overall recovery after exercise. Athletes often require higher protein intake compared to non-athletic individuals to support increased muscle mass and to aid in the repair of tissues damaged during intense training. Sources like whey protein, casein, soy, and pea protein are popular among athletes due to their high-quality amino acid profiles and efficient absorption rates. Aside from shakes and straight powders protein is increasingly being added to other product formats.
Energy bars, like gels, are a popular and convenient snack designed for both athletes and active individuals seeking a quick energy boost. Bars typically consist of a balanced blend of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats often formulated around oats, fruits, or grains and incoporating other sweeteners or syrups, or fortified with vitamins or other nutrients depending upon the functional requirement.
Primarily consumed to hydrate athletes, sports drinks are widely used also to replenish electrolytes lost through sweat during physical activity and to provide energy when formulated using carbohydrates often in the form of simple sugars to provide a quickly metabolised energy source. Again vitamins, minerals and caffeine are common inclusions depending upon the functional requirement.
Tablets for sports nutrition are a convenient and precise way for athletes to supplement their diet with essential nutrients that may be difficult to obtain in sufficient quantities from food or drinks alone. These tablets can include a range of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other compounds specifically formulated to support athletic performance and recovery.
Gels are a convenient and efficient form of energy supplementation for athletes, particularly favoured by runners and cyclists. Designed to be easily digestible and provide a rapid source of carbohydrates, they often contain a blend of simple sugars such as glucose and fructose, offering a quick energy boost. Additionally, sports gels may include electrolytes, or caffeine for an extra mental and physical stimulus.
