Abstract

In this research, it's intended to spatialize the productive spatial circuit and cooperation circles of the dietary supplements industry. In this way, will be aim in this scientific research inter-industrial relations in the production of whey protein on different spatial scales. Whereas the are few gender-differentiated scientific studies on the dietary supplements production in Brazil and spatial implications, this research will investigate the productive spatial circuit and cooperation circles of whey protein based on industries: Probiótica Laboratórios Ltda, a Integralmédica Suplementos Nutricionais S/A, a ADS laboratório Nutricional Ltda (Atlhetica Nutrition) e Supley Laboratório de Alimentos e Suplementos Nutricionais Ltda (Max Titanium); that are the biggest production of this industry in Brazil. The research will be consist to examine Research, Development and Innovations (R&D&I) by hegemonic companies.
