Show Worked Solution
  • C is correct: The AIS Sports Supplement Framework ABCD Classification system sorts supplements based on scientific proof and safety factors.

Other options:

  • A is incorrect: Customer reviews are subjective experiences, not evidence-based scientific assessment of safety and efficacy.
  • B is incorrect: Manufacturer marketing claims may be biased and not based on independent scientific research.
  • D is incorrect: Gym trainers and influencers may lack qualifications in sports nutrition and evidence-based practice.
