The purpose of this work was to study the quality and safety of some sports nutrition
products. The objects of study were sports nutrition products: protein bars of ‘ProteinBar’
(Russia) and ‘Bombbar’ (Russia); capsule forms of dietary supplements ω–3, ω–6, ω–9 firms
‘Sportline’ (Russia), ‘Multipower’ (Germany) and ‘Maxler’ (USA). According to the research
results, the normalized safety indicators of the fat component of the studied products for sports
nutrition (acid number and peroxide) are within acceptable values. The standardized safety
indicators of the fat component do not fully reflect the safety requirements for the fat component
of sports nutrition products, since there are no standards for the most important indicators of fat
safety – the content of secondary oxidation products – copolymers insoluble in petroleum ether
and epoxides. The results obtained in the course of the work showed that in almost all of the
studied samples are content of epoxides (7.5–47.6 g
-1
) and secondary oxidation products – 1% or
more
