The headline reads \u201c18 Soldiers Dismissed Over Sports Drugs\u201d. For the soldiers involved, 7 Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery, it is a personal disaster. Unless the army is prepared to reveal exactly what it is these soldiers were taking, it\u2019s a professional disaster. Talking vaguely about \u201csupplements\u201d really doesn\u2019t help anyone.<\/p>\n
We know that a lot of our customers are serving soldiers, sailors and airmen, all of whom probably know more about supplements than their chain of command. As we keep saying, this is a generational thing. The old men simply don\u2019t get it. A quick review of the Army Rumour Service gives a good impression of mis-information spread by the old sweats. Should I use protein? Only if you don\u2019t mind kidney stones. You don\u2019t need supplements, just hard work. Why buy protein when you can get a pint of milk for 50p?<\/p>\n
The irony is that if anyone needs support, it is the guys carrying 70kg across Helmand on rations that don\u2019t even match their daily output.<\/p>\n
So, our question is, when will the British Armed Forces stop being amateurs about nutrition?<\/p>\n
1.<\/strong> There is no either \/ or. We agree that a healthy balanced diet is the basis for all sports nutrition. We do not accept that performance cannot be improved by supplementing<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong>\u00a0PAYD, pay as you dine (or starve as you save) is no basis for a healthy balanced diet.\u00a0Provide good food as part of standard terms and conditions. PAYD incentivises skipped meals and trips to fast food outlets<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> If you are going to throw people out for failing Compulsory Drug Tests, tell the world exactly which products they have used<\/p>\n 4.<\/strong>\u00a0Publish lists of acceptable supplements, not just those which are banned<\/p>\n The good news is that BULK POWDERS\u2122 products<\/a> are completely safe to use. You will not fail your drug\u2019s test by using any of our protein<\/a>, creatine<\/a>, vitamins<\/a> and Active Foods\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n We would recommend, however, that you avoid the following:<\/p>\n a.
