What it says
NATA's 2013 statement aimed to help athletic trainers promote a food-first approach to performance, understand the federal and sport-governing-body rules on supplements and banned substances, and know where to find reliable information on whether a product is safe, pure and effective.
Its abstract stresses that the supplement industry is poorly regulated, that athletes should not assume an over-the-counter product is safe, and that any product under consideration should be checked for purity (whether the label is accurate), safety and effectiveness. This edition has been replaced by NATA's 2026 statement.
