Abstract

In the last decades, the fitness industry has had an exponential growth, where the sportsmen at recreational or professional level look for an improvement in the performance, using diverse nutritional supplements or ergogenic aids. However, not all the substances offered by the market have scientific evidence to support their effectiveness, and on the contrary, if they can put health at risk. This means that health professionals in contact with the world of fitness, have a great responsibility in recommending effective and safe substances, even more so with the increase in the prevalence of the use of these substances among athletes. For this reason, the advice of a professional in the field of health and sport is recommended to ensure that the use of ergogenic aids is effective to improve performance, safe for health and within the parameters allowed by the WADA - World Anti Doping Agency (if required). This article reviews the main substances that meet these criteria, summarizing briefly the mechanism of action, effects on performance, recommended doses and adverse effects associated with their consumption
