We are the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance – ESSNA – the European trade association for any company operating in the sports nutrition sector. Our membership covers the whole sports nutrition supply chain, from the suppliers to retailers and brands.

Our members abide by our strict Code of Practice which ensures that their products are compliant with the law. If an ESSNA member and its products display the ESSNA kitemark then you are being made a promise by that company that its products follow the letter of the law. The ESSNA kitemark is in place to protect you the consumer.


We work with the major EU bodies and institutions, including the European Food Safety Authority, which sets standards for sports nutrition across Europe.

If you have a complaint regarding any sports nutrition company regarding any of their products then please do complete the form below.
