Question

This investigation identified common usage habits of multi-ingredient pre-workout supplement users, provided novel demographic data for this population, and reported the perceptions of MIPS users regarding the safety and efficacy of this common class of dietary supplement. The results of this survey suggest that many consumers have used MIPS products multiple times per week for more than one year. In addition, many respondents reported ingesting more than one serving of MIPS per use, consuming doses larger or smaller than manufacturer recommended serving sizes, or consuming MIPS products more than once per day. Alarmingly, more than one third of respondents reported that they consumed MIPS along with other caffeine-containing products. Furthermore, more than half of the respondents to this survey reported that they had experienced deleterious side effects associated with MIPS use. In light of these results, it is evident that future studies must be conducted to determine the safety of long-term (greater than one year) MIPS supplementation as well as the safety of multiple doses of MIPS products consumed at one time. what was the take-home message from this study?
