Hello, I’m Nilhan Uzman. I’m a sports pharmacist.

I combined my passion for sports with my profession and specialized in Sports Pharmacy.
I am an amateur kitesurfer and sailor.

How does a sports pharmacist support athletes?

I provide consultancy on athlete and performance health, the safe and effective use of medicines, supplements and ergogenic aids in sports, and protect clean sport.

I provide safe and effective health, medicine and supplement advice, to optimize athletes’
health, safety and longevity as they reach their peak performance.

I advise on the impacts of medicines, supplements and ergogenics on athlete health,
performance and longevity, prevent injuries and illnesses and provide a holistic athlete
health care.

I uphold the spirit of sport and protect clean sports from doping, both for amateur and
professional athletes.

I work in collaboration with every member of the athlete health team for an integrated
health approach.
