Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While endurance and strength athletes do have a higher protein daily recommendation than non-athletes, they can typically meet their needs through their diet alone and do not necessarily need to use amino acid supplements. However, individual needs may vary and some athletes may choose to use supplements to help meet their protein needs. It is always best to consult with a registered dietitian or healthcare professional to determine individual protein and supplement needs.
