Research and Development Program

The ESNL had an unrestricted grant with Nutrabolt (Bryan, TX) to study the safety and efficacy of existing supplements and novel nutrients.  This collaboration resulted in conducting a number of studies assessing the effects of ingesting dietary supplements on acute cognitive and exercise performance as well as the impact on training adaptations. The following are a list of published works so far that has emanated from this work.
