Take your career to the next level and learn as well as be qualified to be a Certified Sports Nutrition Specialist (CISSN). The CISSN is the premier certification in the field of sports nutrition and supplementation.
What sets the CISSN apart from other sports nutrition certifications?
The CISSN is a collaborative effort from dozens of research scientists (PhDs) who have both research and practical experience in the field of sports nutrition. There are other certifications in the marketplace; however, none were devised by dozens of scientists who have done the actual research in our field.
