The European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA) is the representative European trade association for the sports nutrition industry in Europe, with 50+ members including large international brands, ingredients suppliers, manufacturers and many more. ESSNA acts as a forum for discussion and vehicle for actions on the concerns of the specialist sports nutrition sector in order to secure appropriate and proportionate European legislation on sports nutrition products. ESSNA also takes the argument for sports nutrition and the reputable brands involved in the industry to TV and radio, the mainstream press and the specialist media, as well as to anti-doping organisations. It works to disassociate responsible brands from those tarnishing the reputation of the sector and so improve perceptions of the industry and all its Members sign up to the ESSNA Code of Conduct that insists that they abide by all relevant rules and regulations.
