September 2007:  Sports Nutrition and Weight-Loss VII

In this 24-page issue, NBJ analyzes the 18.2 billion dollar Sports Nutrtition and Weight-Loss Market.


EXCERPT FROM OVERVIEW:

The sports nutrition and weight-loss (SNWL) sector is healing its wounded, with all but the low-carb category delivering healthy growth in 2006. The 2004 ephedra ban and rise and fall of low-carb loosened their grips on the weightloss pill and nutrition bar categories, respectively. Both categories posted around 4% growth in ‘06 – the first year of positive growth for the nutrition bar category since 2003.
