Nutritional supplementation can play an important role in any runner’s lifestyle, but it’s oftentimes hard to separate fact from fiction when determining what to use, why to use it, and how much you should be taking.

Here to make sense of some of our questions in this space is David Block from Previnex. From his career-long exposure to the supplement and wellness spaces, David shares insights on how certain supplements contribute to health and longevity.

Specifically, we explore

• the concept of clinically differentiated supplements and what’s required to set new standards in a previously predatory industry
• the truths about loose supplement regulations and the necessity of these supplements in our diets
• how to interpret supplement labeling and understand product quality and integrity
• what commitment to uncompromised supplement creation, specializing in joint, immune, and gut health looks like
• other valuable insights into optimizing overall health beyond just supplement consumption.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a holistic approach to well-being.

Did you know that you’re likely to sweat as much, if not more, in the winter than in the summer?

That’s because we often wear such warm clothes to start our runs, which leads to more sweating towards the end. Plus, the sweat gets absorbed by our clothes, so it’s harder to notice.

Now, you already know that when you sweat, you lose electrolytes, which are essential for your body's best performance. But you've also been told that too much salt is bad for you, so it can get confusing to know what to do.

The truth is that athletes, healthy eaters, and heavy sweaters all need more sodium and just about everyone needs more potassium in their diet and we don't need a bunch of sugar and artificial junk along the way.

Element is the hydration solution designed with athletes and everyone who sweats in mind. Element comes in lots of salty flavors that even the saltiest sweaters will love, such as citrus, raspberry, and orange. It even comes unflavored for those who prefer the clean, salty taste.

That’s why we recommend all runners check out Element this winter. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial.

Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors or share with your running friends.

To claim this exclusive deal you must go to drinkLMNT.com/runnersconnect.
