Are dietary supplements or over-the-counter medications allowed at the Academy?

At the Academy, direct oversight of dietary supplements and over-the-counter medications is crucial for maintaining health and safety standards among recruits. The requirement for prior approval ensures that all substances consumed by recruits have been evaluated for potential risks, interactions with other medications or dietary components, and adherence to Academy policies. This preemptive measure helps prevent issues related to personal health and safety while also ensuring a standardized environment free from unregulated or potentially harmful substances.

This policy reflects a commitment to accountability and responsible behavior, which is particularly important in a structured training program like the Academy. By requiring recruits to seek approval before using such products, the Academy can better manage any legal or health implications that may arise and foster a safe training environment.
