"Has the sports nutrition industry painted itself into a corner, a sweaty corner of the gym where the mainstream rarely visits and reaching that mainstream is the trick that no company has really mastered?" asks Rick Polito, Senior Editor, Nutrition Business Journal. "There are a lot more soccer moms than there are bodybuilders and, with the exception of protein powders and shakes, they are not buying sports nutrition. The NBJ Sports Nutrition & Weight Loss Report offers valuable information and insight that a smart company could use to increase its market penetration into an exponentially larger market in casual fitness."

The 2014 Sports Nutrition and Weight Loss Report is available for sale at http://newhope360.com/presale-2014-nbj-sports-nutrition-and-weight-loss-report for $3,595.
