Answer to Question 1

2 Rationale: Carbohydrate intake is not regulated by race officials. Dietary supplements can include unlisted ingredients that have been banned in competition. Dehydration and low iron levels are not monitored but can have a negative impact on athletic ability.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
The term very low refers only to sodium. The product cannot have more than 35 mg of sodium per serving if this is included on the label.
