NPD Technician | Sports Science Researcher

At HSN I am an NPD Technician (New Product Development). I also write articles for the blog and answer our customers’ questions through the Nutrinfo service. My role consists of bringing consumers the most up-to-date scientific evidence on the mechanisms of action of the substances found in food supplements, from a critical perspective supported by medical-sports literature resources, a differentiating aspect compared with our competitors. In addition, I actively participate in product formulation, contributing the most functional approach to the selected active ingredients for athletes.
