A Nutritional Supplement for all Runners

Runners Daily Complete

Since I am someone who seeks out natural source nutrients over pills I was skeptical about this product.  The timing could not have been better to test since I am less than a month away from running the LA Marathon and my immune system has been taxed by long runs and running in cold weather in the dark or in rainy days.

I looked over the ingredients and quite impressed and tested the pills (not capsules) in water to see if they break down and they did!  What got me thinking was why do we get sick in winter?  Is it the cold shorter days?  Overindulging in holiday foods and drinks?  Or all the above?  Then I also heard that children now get a nutrient deficiency health problem again called rickets. Once thought to have been eliminated, now back.  And why is that?  The answer is Vitamin D, we once spent time out doors more, and now with video games, computers, and home theaters we are inside more and more.  Even runners mostly run in the dark this time on year. Add the colder shorter days and the lack of our body's being in the sun for at least 3 hours a day to produce vitamin D and it becomes clear that we need to get a supplement of vitamin D since we can't make enough of our own.

So add to that poor eating habits and high training to stay in shape or to race from 5K to Marathons and the need to get more in our diets is clear.  The ingredients are basic anti-oxidants, anti-inflammatory plus special herbs and super foods that do truly help heart health, immune system support, longevity, adaptogens, and digestive health as advertised.
