  requirements

• Date Published July 26, 2000 Type Official
  Interpretation Item Ref a
• Interpretation
• It is not permissible for an institution to
  provide any nutritional supplement to its
  student-athletes, unless the supplement is a
  nonmuscle-building supplement and is included in
  one of the four classes identified specifically
  in NCAA Bylaw 16.5.2.2 (i.e., carbohydrate/electro
  lyte drinks, energy bars, carbohydrate boosters,
  and vitamins and minerals). The following is a
  list of examples of permissible and
  nonpermissible nutritional supplements/ingredients
  as developed by the NCAA Competitive Safeguards
  and Medical Aspects of Sports Committee (CSMAS).
  The list below is not exhaustive but should
  assist institutions in determining the types of
  nutritional supplements that may be provided to
  student-athletes.

Recent Violations

• The subcommittee, at the recommendation of the
  CSMAS, also determined that a supplement that
  contains protein may be classified as a
  nonmuscle-building supplement provided it is
  included in one of the four permissible
  categories, does not contain more than 30 percent
  of calories from protein (based solely on the
  package label) and does not contain additional
  ingredients that are designed to assist in the
  muscle-building process (see examples of
  nonpermissible supplements/ingredients).
  Nutritional supplements containing more than 30
  percent of calories from protein are classified
  as muscle-building supplements and may not be
  provided to student-athletes.
• To assist the membership in calculating the
  percentage of calories from protein contained in
  a particular supplement, the subcommittee noted
  that one gram of protein equals four calories.
  Therefore, the percentage of calories from
  protein contained in a nutritional supplement may
  be calculated by multiplying the number of grams
  of protein per serving by four and dividing the
  product by the total number of calories per
  serving. For example, a nutritional supplement
  that contains 120 total calories per serving and
  nine grams of protein per serving would contain
  36 calories from protein (i.e., 9 grams x 4).
  Therefore, the percentage of calories from
  protein would be 0.3 or 30 percent (i.e., 36
  calories from protein/120 total calories).
