| Sodium citrate has been used as an ergogenic aid to enhance exercise performance. |
| One study has shown transient increases in serum testosterone levels but no ergogenic benefit has been demonstrated. |
| Examples of ergogenic aids are creatine, androstenedione, anabolic steroids, major pain medication, barbiturates, and amphetamines. |
| Carefully evaluate any vitamin-and-mineral or herbal supplements, ergogenic aids, or performance-enhancing drugs an athlete wants to use. |
| As the competitive demands get greater and the opposition tougher, one might expect the usage levels of ergogenic aids to increase. |
| A critical review of the literature reveals that most of these products offer no nutritional or ergogenic benefits for normal young athletes. |
