Sports Nutrition Copywriter – Clean, Compliant, High-Converting Content

Looking to hire a sports nutrition copywriter? You’re in the right place. My name is Pat, a.k.a. the Natural Health Writer. And I’ve written up hundreds of sports nutrition products over the course of my 20+ year career in the nutritional supplement industry.

In this post, I am going to share some samples of my sports nutrition copywriting. If you are seeking a sports nutrition copywriter and would like this type of content for your brand, please do contact me anytime to schedule a chat.

How can I benefit your brand as a sports nutrition copywriter? Some ideas:

  • Blog posts. Imagine a content machine cranking out amazing articles about your products and the sports nutrients contained within them. Demand for blog articles is skyrocketing for a LOT of reasons, including SEO traffic and consumer education.
  • Product claims
  • Press releases
  • Video scripts
  • Amazon product listings (that are accepted easily because they are compliant!)
  • Sell sheets and high-converting web pages
  • Advanced usage guidelines
  • eBooks
  • Label copy
  • Pretty much everything else you can imagine!

Performance Lab® SPORT Stack™ Copy

For my sports nutrition copywriting sample, I am choosing a piece with a rather high degree of difficulty.

The client in this case had six sports nutrition supplements. To start, I wrote in-depth sell sheets for each one.

They included taglines, claims, positioning, research, calls-to-action, etc. Basically, the whole enchilada for each individual athletic supplement. It was a large and challenging undertaking…. but that was the easy part.

The client was intent on maximizing sales by pushing “stacking” of supplements.

What we needed, therefore, was an overarching sell sheet that detailed not just each supplement, but also how they complemented each other and synergized with each other. As a sports nutrition writer, this required some savvy strategy.

The goal: A consumer would, with one click, buy all six supplements at once! This would multiply revenue for the brand AND deliver superior fitness results for the consumer.

Of course, realizing this goal was a tall order. It required a lot of clever connections across multiple supplements, a ton of scientific research, and good educational language explaining how it all works together — and why consumers would be bananas not to buy everything all at once.

  • Note: I didn’t stop with this brand’s sports nutrition formulas. At the end of the document, I included how several of their other products could be “stacked” with the sports formulas for even greater results.

Standard health and fitness copywriters may be great at communicating training regimens, but they often lack the nutritional supplement copywriting expertise required for a project of this scope.

The final product was called the SPORT Stack. Behold, here it is… my sports nutrition copywriter sample follows.

Maximum Muscle Energy: Supercharge in Action, Recharge at Rest

Creatine + BCAA + Carbohydrate + Himalayan Pink Salt + Coconut Sugar + Iron

Muscle energy powers athletic performance and anabolic activity. SPORT Stack™ supplies the fuel and the spark: Carbohydrate optimized with salt and sugar transporters that absorbs fast and lasts 2 hours, plus sport nutrient cell-chargers to maintain energy output during exertion and reload depleted muscles during downtime.

Athletic Performance Enhancers: Strength, Endurance and Intensity

Protein + Carbohydrate + Creatine + Beta Alanine + BCAA + Maritime Pine Bark

Athletes only advance via progressive overload: One more rep, one mile longer, one second faster. SPORT Stack™ helps by buffering muscles from failure-inducing acids, blocking fatigue, enhancing oxygen utilization and promoting circulation. Result: Peak physical performance to achieve the greatest possible athletic advancement.

Athletic Circulation: Oxygenate, Fuel, Nourish and Detoxify Muscles

L-Glutathione + L-Citrulline + Maritime Pine Bark

Healthy blood flow delivers oxygen, fuel and nutrition to muscles for optimal energy, performance and recovery; as well as helping to clear fatigue-inducing, protein-damaging waste away from muscles. SPORT Stack™ includes ultramodern nitric oxide boosters that relax blood vessels and promote healthy muscle circulation.

Advanced Hydration: Convenient Sports-Drink-In-A-Capsule Designs

Himalayan Pink Salt + Potassium + Carbohydrate + NutriCaps® + Water

Hydration maximizes athletic performance, reduces cramps and improves recovery. SPORT Stack™ helps with sports-drink-in-a-capsule innovations: Electrolytes and trace minerals that rehydrate the body when taken with water. Plus, SPORT Stack™ carbohydrate absorbs so quickly it pulls fluids in its wake, further enhancing hydration.

Accelerated Recovery: Efficiently Restore, Repair and Reload Muscles

Protein + Carbohydrate + Creatine + BCAA + Pomegranate + Iron

SPORT Stack™ starts replenishing muscles as soon as you finish working out, then continues into the next day – nourishing for growth and repair, soothing aches and recharging energy. SPORT Stack™ helps accelerate and enhance your physical recovery so you can return to athletics faster and stronger.

Robust Muscle Growth: Anabolic Stacks for Maxed-Out Size and Strength

Protein + Carbohydrate + BCAA + Creatine + L-Glutamine

In addition to powering muscle growth, SPORT Stack™ initiates athletic development by stimulating growth hormones, raising nitrogen, signaling muscle stem cells and sparking muscle protein synthesis (MPS). SPORT Stack™ clean protein and amino acids then feed muscle with building blocks required for maximum gains.

Performance Lab® SPORT Stack™ Stacks Well With…

(Note: I am not just a sports nutrition copywriter. I am a dietary supplements writer! This makes me uniquely qualified to integrate supplements from other categories into this sports nutrition copy.)

Stim

Ultramodern caffeine for clean, calm, performance-tuned stimulation

NutriGenesis® Caffeine Balance B-Complex (Riboflavin, B6, Folate, B12), Natural Caffeine (from Coffea robusta seeds), Suntheanine® L-Theanine, Ajipure® L-Tyrosine

Caffeine amplifies intensity, endurance, energy and overall athletic performance – but may also bring on jitters, crashes and burnout.

Performance Lab® Stim is a smarter approach to caffeine supplementation, designed for greater dosing precision, fewer side effects and performance-tuned stimulation.

  • Caffeine enhanced for superior intensity, athletic and thermogenic performance
  • Helps reduce jitters, crashes and other negative effects of caffeine overstimulation
  • Promotes balanced physiological responses to caffeine-induced stress
  • Restores stim-depleted neurotransmitters for healthy recovery from caffeine-driven exercise

Add Stim to SPORT Stack™ and get ultramodern caffeine in precise 50 mg increments – for clean, energized and intensified exercise performance, with stimulation as strong or as subtle as you desire.

SPORTMixer

Clean, premium and feature-rich, SPORTMixer is the perfect companion for Performance Lab® SPORT formulas.

Use it as a convenient carry-along solution for staying hydrated while you train and mixing SPORT Protein and SPORT Carb with ease.

NutriGenesis® Multi

NutriGenesis® Multi builds a strong nutritional foundation for overall health, which is a crucial first step for athletic development and performance enhancement.

In addition, some NutriGenesis® Multi essentials supply more targeted support for athletes, such as Vitamin A for protein synthesis; Vitamin C for collagen synthesis; Zinc for hormone-driven muscle growth; B-vitamins for cell energy and more.

Add NutriGenesis® Multi to SPORT Stack™ for fundamental muscle nutrition you need to succeed, plus clean vitamin and mineral essentials for overall health. All customized for men’s and women’s distinct nutritional requirements.

Sleep

Sleep amplifies SPORT Stack™ rest day gains by extending your deepest, most regenerative sleep phases.

Together, SPORT Stack™ + Sleep maximize the profound athletic benefits of rest, helping you to return to action stronger, healthier and energized to perform.

Sleep also supplies magnesium bound with glycine. Glycine is a building block for natural creatine synthesis that augments Creapure® pH10 creatine in SPORT Stack™ Pre, Post and Maintain.

(Note: As a sports nutrition copywriter. I see the connection to sleep — and opportunity to cross-sell a sleep supplement — as a juicy opportunity. Robot and noob writers do not make these connections.)

Flex

After exertion, SPORT Stack™ supplies anabolic factors that nourish recovery and antioxidants that reduce soreness so you can get back to the gym sooner.

Flex supplies similar benefits to joints, ligaments and tendons – helping to soothe post-workout aches and stiffness while nourishing connective tissues for optimal repair, comfort and function.

SPORT T+

SPORT T+ testosterone (T) support includes KSM-66® Ashwagandha. KSM-66® has research-backed benefits for T, athletic performance and muscle development that combine effectively with SPORT Stack™.

Add SPORT T+ to SPORT Stack™ to add a powerful extra layer of hormonal support for muscle strength, muscle growth and masculine performance.

Note: SPORT T+ should not be taken by women.

SPORT Burn

SPORT Burn augments SPORT Stack™ fitness support with a powerful stim-free formula for weight management. SPORT Burn is designed to help you burn more fat than with exercise alone, especially in the context of fasted training.

Add SPORT Burn to SPORT Stack™ if you are seeking extra support for maintaining muscle as part of an overall fat loss or body composition program.

MCT

Performance Lab® MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) supplies C8/C10 MCTs from 100% organic, non-GMO Coconuts.

Because they are rapidly metabolized and not stored as fat, MCTs are an ideal superfuel for athletic performance, especially in the context of fasted training.

MCTs also have a thermogenic effect in the body, which encourages fat burning and optimizes body composition.

Add MCT to SPORT Stack™ as fast, clean fuel to power-up your athletic performance.

F.A.Q.

Who should take Performance Lab® SPORT Stack™?

SPORT Stack™ may be taken by everyone from beginners to professional athletes.

How do I take Performance Lab® SPORT Stack™?

SPORT Protein: Mix 2 scoops (30 g) with 8-12 oz. (237-473 ml.) of water. Take 2-3 hours prior to or immediately after training or competition.

SPORT Carb: Mix 2 scoops (50 g) with12-16 oz. (360-473 ml.) of water.

SPORT BCAA: Take 3 capsules 30 minutes prior to training or competition and 3 capsules immediately afterwards.

SPORT Pre: Take 6 capsules 30 minutes prior to training or competition on an empty stomach with 16 oz. (480 ml.) of water. For best results take consistently.

SPORT Post: Take 6 capsules immediately following training or competition along with 16 oz. (480 ml.) of water. For best results use consistently.

SPORT Maintain: On rest days, take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the afternoon on an empty stomach. For best results take consistently.

(Note: It is rare to see a sports nutrition copywriter tend to the little details as I have done with these “how to take” points!)

What do you mean by “synthetic load” in the context of sport nutrition stacking?

Stacking involves combining multiple supplements to unlock greater activity and more beneficial bio activities.

Here’s the problem: with every supplement you add to the stack, you increase intake of the bad things that you don’t want. For example, if you take 5 sport nutrition supplements from inferior “dirty label” brands, you will likely be consuming 5X artificial additives, preservatives, colors and fillers. In this scenario, the bigger your sport nutrition stack, the greater your synthetic load will be.

Performance Lab® SPORT Stack™ solves this challenge. Performance Lab® supplements are the World’s Cleanest Formulas, containing NO soy, egg, fish, shellfish, dairy, peanut, tree nuts, wheat, or other allergens. They are also non-GMO and non-irradiated; and are free of gluten, caffeine (except for optional add-on, Stim), synthetic additives, artificial colors, preservatives and banned substances.

In sport nutrition supplements, all these additives are particularly pervasive. For example, BCAA and Pre-Workout supplements are often presented as powders that are loaded with artificial colors and flavors in order to mask their bad taste – often resulting in a different (but still bad) taste and a much greater synthetic load.

Look under “Other Ingredients” on Performance Lab® formulas’ supplement facts, and you will see that for most of our products, the only “Other Ingredient” is the capsule or softgel itself. Or, in the case of SPORT Carb and Protein, the only other ingredients are natural flavors.

This is just another reason why SPORT Stack™ is the greatest sport nutrition program ever developed. Whether you take a lot of SPORT Stack™ or a little, your synthetic load remains zero – so you can enhance your athletic performance and muscle development without worry.
