The desire and need for dietary supplements and substances enhancing overall performance is as historic as sports. The utilization of supplements dates directlyto approximately 500 B.C. when athletes and fighters would add the livers of deer and hearts of lions to their diet hoping that it would enhance the overall performance of theirs. It was considered that the supplements would make them braver, more quickly, and stronger. Research work conducted in early twentieth century shows evidence for the link between dietary supplements and improved performance.
