Ergogenic

A substance, device, or practice that enhances physical performance, endurance, or recovery beyond the effects of normal training alone. In sports nutrition, ergogenic aids include Tier 1 ingredients (creatine monohydrate, caffeine, beta-alanine) with consistent, high-quality evidence as well as many other ingredients with less established evidence. WADA monitors certain ergogenic substances for potential inclusion on the prohibited list; formulators of elite sports products should verify current WADA status for each ingredient.
