This provides a timely reminder to use supplements safely. VIS Nutrition are currently completing their annual supplement audit on all athletes.  However, as we know, athletes may change their supplement use regularly, so please discuss any supplement changes (including brand changes) with your VIS Dietitian first. AMS also provides an opportunity for athletes to update this information regularly, so we encourage you to do this.

If you have any queries regarding supplements, please speak with VIS Nutrition, who can point you in the direction of the safest options.
