Core ingredients & concept

Typical ingredients include protein (whey concentrate/isolate, plant-based), creatine, amino acids (BCAA/EAA), and pre-workout actives like caffeine.Design the ingredient mix and dosages to fit your goal (growth, recovery, performance) and audience.

Protein: whey (concentrate/isolate), plant-based (pea/brown rice)
Performance: creatine, beta-alanine, caffeine
Recovery: BCAA/EAA, electrolytes

Form selection (powder, stick, tablet)

Sports nutrition is led by powders (pouch/tub) and sticks, often complemented by tablet/capsule amplifiers.Choose form and packaging to fit serving size, portability, and timing (pre-/post-workout).

Bulk powder: tub packaging — value appeal
Stick: single-serve portability, good for trial/sampling
Tablet/capsule: amino acid and booster lines

Labeling & regulatory points

Labeling and functional-claim rules differ depending on whether the product is a health functional food or a general food (e.g., protein-supplement food).Some ingredients like caffeine may require content and caution labeling, so confirm with the manufacturer.

Express functionality only within the recognized scope; claims asserting disease prevention or treatment cannot be used.
