RunStrong uses optimised and patented Carnipure® L-Carnitine L-Tartrate which is the most research-backed form of L-Carnitine. Endurance athletes use L-Carnitine to increase the oxidation of fat during exercise and spare muscle glycogen. Carnipure® L-Carnitine is not extracted from meat and is fully suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

• Improves energy metabolism from fat
• Increases healthy blood flow
• Reduces markers of metabolic stress
• Reduces lactic acid build-up in the muscles
• Reduces tissue damage
• Decreases muscle soreness
• Improves recovery time

The patented Curcumin C3 Complex® in RunStrong is standardised to contain 95% curcuminoids and is the most extensively studied and documented curcumin brand. It contains three different curcuminoids - hence C3 - which enable enhanced absorption compared to regular curcumin and combine to optimise protection against oxidative stress.

• Potent anti-inflammatory
• Prevents tissue damage from free radicals (antioxidant)
• Supports healthy blood sugar and cholesterol levels
• Boosts immunity
• Beneficial for joint health and may relieve arthritis symptoms

Vitamin D3 has been shown to be more effective at improving Vitamin D status than the cheaper D2 form found in some supplements. RunStrong uses a vegan variant of Vitamin D3 which is produced from algae.

• Helps prevent stress fractures
• Protects against total body inflammation, infectious illnesses and impaired muscle function
• Contributes to proper immune function

RunStrong includes a small amount of iron in the form of Iron Bisglycinate, used for its high bioavailability (approximately 90%). Studies have shown Iron Bisglycinate is associated with less gastrointestinal intolerance than ferrous sulfate, gluconate or fumarate which is why it is often referred to as the “gentle iron”.

• Replenishes iron reserves depleted through sweating, GI blood loss and foot-strike hemolysis
• Supports oxygen uptake and aerobic performance
• Contributes to energy metabolism
• Contributes to collagen synthesis

BioPerine is a patented form of piperine, a bioactive compound found in black pepper. It has been used as a bioavailability enhancer for over 20 years and increases the absorption of curcumin by 2000%. Bioperine® is standardised to contain a minimum of 95% piperine.

• Enhances the absorption of certain nutrients by at least 30%
• Enhances Curcumin absorption by up to 2000%
