A day in a life of a Sports Nutritionist
Working in research and development for Lucozade Sport involves tasks such as collating scientific evidence to support product claims and advising product development on the levels of specific nutrients that should to be included in products. I investigate the science behind new ingredients and whether they could be beneficial in our range, as well as helping in the set up and management of studies which we commission to universities. My freelance work includes articles for fitness professional publications, nutrition lectures and advise for recreational athletes.
