TOTAL NUTRITION These 2 supplements provide daily optimum nutrition
NATURE’S PLUS BLUE LIGHTENING ANTIOXIDANT ENERGY DRINK, £37.75,
www.nutricentre.com Easy-to-mix and a great way to liven up your post-run fruit smoothie. It supplies 20 whole food concentrates and extracts including blueberry, red wine grape, elderberry and blackcurrant. The unique antioxidant and phytonutrient benefits of natural blue food compounds may help support anti-ageing, memory function and immune response. A mega-powerful antioxidant punch.
LIFEGAIN, £9.95,
www.verdurehealthcare.com Lifegain “aims to remove the hassle from supplement shopping by providing everything your body needs without the fuss”. The vanilla flavoured drink provides important nutrients for training, including essential and non-essential amino acids, calcium, iron, zinc, phosphorus, magnesium, a range of vitamins, fatty acids and fibre. Everything you need for recovery.
We’ve covered beetroot juice in previous issues of Running Free, and the benefits of the juice are well documented. The key ingredient is nitrate, which widens blood vessels and therefore boosts oxygen flow and also affects muscle tissue so that it needs less oxygen during activity. This handy shot is an easy way to get your daily dose. Prices vary.

SHOTS, £2 per pack,
www.cherryactive.co.uk The 30ml CherryActive shot pack contains the juice of 100 Montmorency cherries, with powerful antioxidants to boost the immune system, maintain a healthy heart, and aid recovery. Better yet, it contains no additives or preservatives. Visit
www.cherryactive.co.uk.
