Ultimate Runner Supplements (Supplements: Reviewing the Evidence) (English Edition)

There are countless supplements out there that claim to help you become a better runner. While most herbs and supplements don’t live up to their claims, it is not impossible that a supplement or herb could enhance your strength, improve your endurance, or ease your aches and pains. But since each herb and supplement is different, each must be evaluated individually to determine whether it is effective. This book is an attempt to do just that. We examine 11 commonly used running supplements by analyzing the scientific literature. Does the evidence suggest that the supplement is useful? Or is it just a waste of money?
