Sports Nutrition at Element: We've given this some thought and we want to share our thoughts with you.
The sports nutrition industry is a multi-million dollar industry and every product claims to be better than all of the others. With so many different types of carbohydrate and protein sources and so many different additional ingredients that claim to offer you superior performance, how do you sort through it all?
Purposeful Product Selection: We sell products we've used with success.
At Element, we made a few decisions about how we were going to set up our nutrition selection. First, we decided that we would bring in only those products that we felt comfortable endorsing ourselves. These are product lines we've used ourselves and these are products that we know. And we've been involved in triathlon racing for a combined total of over 50 years so these products have been tested and re-tested and tested again.
We also decided that we wanted to support product lines that we could believe in in terms of their quality of nutrition and use of quality and natural ingredients. And we also wanted to support product lines that have shown to be thoughtful to our sport. We sell products that are rich in natural ingredients and low in chemical additives. We also sell and support products that have given back to our sport or have thoughtfully worked with athletes in our sport in their product development to give us a product that works for triathlon.
How to Use Sports Nutrition Products: Where do you start? What will work for you?
We also wanted to take our approach to nutrition products a step further than just putting them on the shelf. We decided that we would take the time to help you find the solution that could work for you. We don't just put the products on the shelf and leave you to sort through it all on your own. When you have to balance your intake of fluids, electrolytes, carbohydrate calories, fat calories and protein during your training and racing events, it can get a little complicated when you have to add different types of drinks, bars, gels and capsules into the mix. We can help you sort it out. Either drop in or call to set up an appointment to talk to someone who knows. Or sign up for one of our nutrition seminars.
We will be running our "Nutrition 4 Racing & Training" clinic periodically throughout the season. If you have a group that you are working with, either as an athlete or a coach, contact us to schedule a clinic for your group at a time that works best for you. Or if you want to sit down and work on an individual plan, either drop in or call to set up a time and we'll be happy to work through a plan that will get you started and on your way to the finish line of your next big event.
Contact us to set up an appointment or to schedule a clinic for your group.
