Let me say that I a eat very healthy diet, lean proteins and vegetables, with a few treats here and there to keep me sane. But nonetheless, because of the loss of nutrients in today’s food, supplementation is necessary. Even with my healthy diet.  I’m the guy who had a cabinet full of vitamins and minerals. I literally took a handful of capsules and pills everyday, several times a day.  I carried them around in my workout bag, and would take them before and after workouts.  Now I have Pur Pak. I haven’t taken another vitamin or mineral pill in months. Pur Pak fuels my life.

I actually have to admit to using two packets a day.  I know it’s popular with many of my fellow ambassadors to have their Pur Pak in the morning to start off the day.  I’ve found that I prefer my Pur Pak as fuel and recovery. I’ve been taking a single packet and spreading it between two 24 oz water bottles and using that as my hydration during rides and runs.  The only thing not there is the sodium…but like I said…there’s word through the grapevine.  I also like to take a full packet with 24 oz water bottle post-workout.

However, today was a rest day.  Meaning I didn’t train at all.  But I still got my Pur Pak in.  Yup, i found myself in statistics class feeling a little bit sluggish, and what did I do? I turned to my trusty Pur Pak, and that big does of B12 had my mind firing on all pathways in no time.  I love this product.

I am busy throughout the day.  I train, coach, conduct speaking engagements, write, and travel a lot.  I have a basket full of 20 different supplements in my kitchen.  Taking these supplements on the road require another bag which means one more thing to carry through security at the airport and one more thing to remember to pack the night before leaving.  This was all an issue before I started taking Pur Pak daily.

I will admit, I was addicted to popping all of the different pills necessary to complete my “Cocktail of Anti-Wear”(Trademark?).  Upon taking Pur Pak one time I had kicked my addiction.  Why go through all of the hassle of remebering to take 20 different supplements when I can get them all in one drink?  Pur Pak has everything I need to stay fresh, recover quickly, and remain healthy in one easy to drink, delicious tasting beverage.

Not only is Pur Pak easy to take with a delicious taste, but it also works.  I have never felt more fresh and energized before, during, and after my workouts.  Although I am up early training and out late ROCKING, my energy has never been higher.  I attribute this nonstop energy to my new found nutritional weapon, Pur Pak.  RACE HARD!

“When your doctor tells you to avoid stress, it may not be easier said that done. Whether you’re good or bad at managing stress, the good news is that it is easy to nourish your body with the vitamins it needs to help relieve stress.

Vitamins A, B and C are all vital when seeking stress relief. Here’s a breakdown of each one and how they help. Fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy products are filled with these essential vitamins to boost your energy, maintain your immunity and keep you at your best when dealing with stress.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A helps to grow and repair body tissues, as well as sustain eyesight and healthy skin. Specifically, it helps to maintain healthy mucous membranes in the mouth, lungs, digestive tract, bladder and cervix. Vitamin A also assists in the production of red blood cells that are essential for healthy iron levels, which prevent anemia or deficiency. This powerful antioxidant protects the body against damage from viruses, bacteria, fungi and allergies, which can result in fatigue and mood swings.

Relentless worry, tension and anxiety break down the immune system. Foods that are high in vitamin A actually counteract that effect by rebuilding it.

Foods high in vitamin A include:

• cantaloupe
• carrots
• dried apricots
• egg yolks
• mangoes
• milk
• mozzarella cheese
• spinach
• sweet potatoes

Vitamin B

Vitamin B keeps the central nervous system functioning smoothly. When stressed, the central nervous system activates the fight or flight response.

Ongoing tension and an improper diet deplete the body of vitamin B. Because vitamin B is water soluble, your body can not store it up. It needs to be replenished as often as possible.

Mental and physical problems can occur when you lack Vitamin B, such as mood swings, chronic fatigue syndrome, heart problems, depression, anxiety, muscle weakness, fatigue, panic attacks or the inability to control stress.

Foods high in vitamin B include:

• bananas
• broccoli
• cereals
• eggs
• fish
• kale
• milk
• liver
• nuts
• spinach
• whole grains

If you chose to get vitamin B in supplement form, a vitamin B-complex tablet is the best choice. It should contain the multiple B vitamins, including B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), folic acid, vitamin B3, vitamin B12, vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and vitamin B7. Many people are deficient in folic acid, which can cause poor moods or depression.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C tops the list of vitamins for stress relief. When you experience chronic stress, Vitamin C is depleted from your body. This reduces your ability to deal with stress.

During stressful situations, your body produces more free radicals than usual. As an antioxidant, vitamin C can protect your body against free radical damage while boosting your immune system when you feel stress. In addition, vitamin C aids the immune system and promotes healing from injury or infection.

Vitamin C also plays a role in supporting the adrenal glands. Proper adrenal gland functioning is also important for coping with stress.

Foods high in vitamin C include:

• broccoli
• grapefruit
• lemons
• limes
• mangoes
• oranges
• papayas
• peppers–red, green and yellow
• potatoes
• spinach
• strawberries
• tomatoes

Keep in mind that heating foods that contain vitamin C will destroy most of their nutrients.”
