In this week’s podcast, we discuss which supplements you should take if you’re an endurance athlete. Bone broth and salt are the backbone of the supplement regimen and these should be taken everyday. Bone broth is a great source of collagen and glycine, both of which will help with recovery from your long training sessions. Increasing your salt intake will also give your body the minerals it needs to recover and prevent cramping while training. 

During your long training sessions or on the competition day itself, supplementing with essential amino acids, caffeine, magnesium and citrulline are all recommended by us to increase performance and allow you to perform at your best on race day.

Honorable mentions for supplements to include in your regimen, under certain circumstances, are creatine, arginine, CoQ-10, D-Ribose, L-Carnitine and exogenous ketones. All of these can help performance under certain situations, but for some people they might be redundant or unnecessary. To learn more about why you should take these supplements, how, and where to implement them into your regimen, check out this week’s podcast.
