Body Talks: Chat with the Experts
Learn about nutritional supplements from UofM experts
Taking a stroll down the heath food aisle at your local grocery store can be an overwhelming experience. From protein powders and vitamins, to minerals and pre-workout concoctions, it’s hard to know where to begin. So many questions and so little expert advice available. That is, until now.
Body Talks, to the rescue.

Discussion points will include: the dose of supplement to take, potential side effects, and the timing of supplementation ingestion around a workout.
