The nutritionist explained the popularity of sports nutrition

Roman Pristansky, a nutritionist and nutritionist, said that the concept of sports nutrition in Russia is somewhat vague.

"These sports powders and supplements came to us from hospital meals, that is, from people who could not consume certain macro- and micronutrients," the expert explained in an interview with Radio 1 on April 8.

But even in sports nutrition, there are delicious dessert substitutes, such as protein shakes. They have a clearly delineated caloric content, internal composition, which is important to study and observe the side effects of the body.
