Nutrition and Performance


Lausanne, Switzerland. October 23-24, 2008

 

The Nestlé Research Center recently hosted the fifth annual Nestlé International Nutrition Symposium (NINS), October 23-24, 2008 in Lausanne, Switzerland. Continuing the legacy of the preceding symposia, the 5th NINS was attended by leading scientists from around the world to discuss emerging issues in Nutrition and Performance.  

 


The symposium, Nutrition and Performance, emphasized the scientific basis of performance from molecular biology to whole body physiology, and the opportunities to translate this science into nutritional interventions for performance throughout the lifecycle.

 

The highly-interactive sessions resulted in the sharing of knowledge, critical issue identification and proposals for future research directions.

 

In accordance with the Nestlé mission dating back over 140 years, the 5th NINS reinforced the need and opportunity for the Nestlé Research Center to continue with breakthrough scientific research, to pursue improvement of human health and to offer practical applications in Nutrition, Health and Wellness.
