Jordan Lewis Annotated Bibliographies Antonio, Jose and Stout, Jeffrey R. Sports Supplements.

Philadelphia: Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2001. Print This book contains a lot of information on sports supplements and athletes. The main subjects I will be focusing on are Skeletal Muscle Mass, Strength, and Speed (Chapter 3) and Protein Requirements of Strength Athletes (Chapter 14). Chapter three informs the reader on the purpose of using supplements to increase ones strength, power, and mass. The most known legal supplement to achieve this is creatine monohydrate. In chapter three there are also chemical diagrams and charts that show the results in using creatine to reduce the buildup of lactic acid and the changes is energy, fatigue, and recovery time. Chapter fourteen discusses the bodies need for protein and how much your body requires for healthy muscle growth. There is some talk of a protein ceiling which means that there is no additional benefit for consuming more than the fifty percent recommended amount for muscle development. So consuming a large amount of protein will not benefit you if you are over the recommended amount. This book has useful tables that are easier to understand sometimes than words in the chapter. I think the information that the authors included in this book is credible because both authors are doctors and they both are Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialists (CSCS).

Bassitt, Cheryl. "3 Ways Supplement Companies are Killing You." Nutra Legacy, 10 2011. Web. Web. 08 Oct. 2012. <http://www.nutralegacy.com/blog/general-healthcare/3-wayssupplement-companies-are-killing-you/ This source will be a good for the 3-sided essay along with helping me address why some people have doubts and are skeptical about sport supplements. This online journal/blog is a great resource for learning why skeptics are skeptical about supplements. This source gives three main points as to why they are skeptical. The three reasons were false labeling on the products, contain fake ingredients, and that the products are labeled by private companies. I think that this source will be very useful in the three sided assignment regarding skeptics viewpoint of sport supplements. This source is credible although it is a persons blog it is from a former Executive Director for a major health care association. Carpenter, Kenneth J. Chapter 9 Protein and Energy. New York: Cambridge University Press, 1994. 161-180. Print. This source is very scientific. Its a little difficult to read and follow but I found a lot of information in the section I read. This book is a little outdated with it being published in 1994. With this book being so outdated and with the fact that new information regarding my topic has

come up sense it was published I doubt I will use much for my paper. Chapter 9 talks about the international efforts to produce high protein supplements. This started to help out people in poor countries that did not get enough protein in their daily diet and were suffering from it. This opened the gates to protein supplements for use by anyone including athletes. I think that the credibility of this resource is very high. It is published by a University and has some useful information on the main purpose for the creation of protein supplements. "Protein power--the truth about supplements Sport Nutrition. Palaestra. 2003. 48. Gale Student Resources In Context. Web. 19 Sep. 2012. This online article answers some frequently asked questions about protein like how much protein is enough? Will ingesting more protein do more for me? Whats a good pre-workout snack? Is protein beneficial after a workout? How many grams of protein should I be ingesting daily? According to this article the suggested intake, for athletes or someone who works out, of protein should be 0.9grams/lb of body weight. So according to that formula a person weighing 160 pounds should consume 144 grams of protein daily. The article also included a chart to see the differences in protein consumption between non-active people and healthy athletes. This article also suggests that the best way to consume your daily amount of protein is through natural foods such as chicken, peanut butter, and pasta. The author continues by saying that the only people who should take protein supplements are people with certain medical situations and that regular athletes get the correct amount of protein through their natural diets and dont need protein supplements. Since the authors name is not given in the article I feel that its credibility is lowered but sense the journal came from a database I feel a little better. This source was useful in that the author gave his/her opinion on protein supplements and it was different from my previous source.

Stobbe, Mike. "Vitamins: How Many Americans Use Them?" Huffington Post. (2011): 1. Web. 7 Nov. 2012. <http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/04/13/vitamin-use_n_848777.html>. This source from the Huffington Post has a couple of useful statistics. I think that I will use this as a part of my introduction to emphasize how big supplements are in our lives. There is not a lot of information regarding sport supplements in this source but it does talk about vitamins and supplements in general and I think that will be useful in the introduction of my argumentative research paper. I feel that the credibility of this source is very high because it comes from a well-known newspaper, the Huffington Post. Williams, Melvin H., Richard B. Kreider, and J. David Branch. Creatine: The Power Supplement. 1st ed. 1999. Print. I found this source while I was reading through the first source. Sports Supplements mentions this source on page fifty one when it talks about the extensive research done on the

effectiveness and safety of using creatine. It also introduces Doctor Kreider as a leading specialist in creatine studies which is another reason why I looked into this book.

Wilson, Philip. "Conditions & Treatments" Consumer News. (2009): 1. Web. 7 Nov. 2012. <http://news.consumerreports.org/health/2009/08/information-on-natural-medicinemoney-spent-on-alternative-medicine-alternative-treatments-vitamins.html>. This last source pertains mainly to how much money that Americans spent on health supplements in the year 2008. Is news article was based off of the 2007 National Health Interview Survey conducted by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. This source is not the most useful of my sources but it does give some good statistics about the use and popularity of supplements in the United States that I will probably use in the beginning paragraphs of my argumentative research paper. The credibility of this source is very high sense the information included came from the National Institute of Health.
