A pre-run meal should optimally provide all the required nutrients, including an adequate intake of carbohydrates and proteins. When protein is consumed before a run, it reduces muscle damage and increases the process of recovery.

1. Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 levels affect athletic performance. Various factors like season, weather, indoor or outdoor sport contributes to determining the vitamin D3 level of an athlete. A 2009 study at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas found that 75 percent of runners averaging 20 miles a week have low vitamin D3 levels. We would recommend you to consume 2 capsules of SN Vitamin D3 per day.

Therefore, adding SN Fish Oil can boost immunity and reduce the chances of infection, which improves the overall health of an athlete.
