Charles Johnson is the president and creator of Dexter Sport Science and Powerstar. His interest in sports nutritionals and supplements began while weight-training in the army. Numerous ads appeared in sports magazines for companies selling sports supplements and he began to consistently use these products to enhance his workouts.
Science in Sport grew out of the desire to provide the best nutritional products and advice to athletes. The company mixes qualified sport scientists, food technologists, and a physician with keen athletes and sports people who have competed from local level to the world stage. As a result of all this experience they have an unprecedented knowledge of the nutritional needs of athletes.
