Experts from Douglas Labs, Bodybuilding.com, the International Society of Sports Nutrition, and Mintel will discuss the latest trends in sports nutrition and how to address consumer demands for clean label and transparency in this FREE online forum hosted by NutraIngredients-USA.

The mainstreaming of sports nutrition has been gaining traction in the last couple of years and is showing no signs of slowing down. Looking at products aimed at non-mainstream buyers alone (athletes and core gym-goers), Euromonitor data recorded continual retail sales growth the past three years, forecasting more than $7.4 billion in sales for the US market by the end of 2016.

But numbers aside, what does the current sports nutrition landscape look like? Are buyers looking to their nearest brick-and-mortar sports supplement retailers to learn and buy the latest, or are they going online to both scour the forums and place their orders? We’ll explore the blurring line between the mainstream and core sports nutrition buyer, as well as where they shop.

Moreover, what products are being launched and being bought? In this upcoming forum, our panel of experts will talk about trends driving most of the food, beverage, and supplement industries: Clean label and transparency, and its context within the sports nutrition category.

Moderated by correspondent Adi Menayang, the NutraIngredients-USA Sports Nutrition Forum​ will be held today, Tuesday, Sept. 13 at 11:30 am EST, and includes the following expert panelists:
