It’s not surprising that gut health is one of the primary issues we face as runners.

As any runner who hits the road or trail and constantly fears having to go to the bathroom can attest to, it’s not a fun issue to deal with.

That’s why we’ve recently switched from AG1 to Previnex Gut and Greens Superfoods.

Gut and Greens Superfoods are loaded with some of the most well-researched and science-supported gut and GI boosting ingredients, such as Solnul, and GutGuard.

Solnul is clinically studied, multi-function fiber that repairs gut lining to support optimal digestion and GI health.

GutGard is a clinically researched, flavonoid-rich, natural bioactive that supports reducing inflammatory markers, increasing gut integrity, and balancing the gut microbiome.

So if you’ve struggled with gut problems on the run, head to runnersconnect.net/greens to check out Gut and Greens Superfoods and see the difference for yourself.
