Traditionally, sports nutrition products have been focused towards elite level

athletes but the market is being transformed by the emergence of regular

consumers who are not always interested in sports yet recognise the role that

nutrition can play in helping their general health and wellness. With the

active and performance nutrition market set to hit 5bn euro by 2015*, competition

in this sector is growing as food and beverage manufacturers look to expand and

diversify their product portfolios to profit from the rise in everyday

consumers.

In just three weeks time, Fi Conferences' Innovations in Sports Nutrition

[http://www.fi-sportsnutrition.com ] is bringing together all of those involved

in the rapidly expanding market of performance and active nutrition, from

manufacturers and ingredient suppliers to consultants and retailers  enabling

these organisations to understand the direction of the market and the available

opportunities.
