Why long-distance runners need Latarum® probiotic
Harmful oxygen free radicals can accumulate during long-distance running, resulting in muscle damage, reduced energy, and increased recovery times. Latarum® probiotic produces a Nrf2 activator that supports your internal Nrf2 Cell Defense Pathway to protect you from oxidative stress by controlling free radicals.
Oxygen free radicals are natural by-products of intensive aerobic exercise. During long-distance running, excessive quantities of these harmful chemicals can accumulate to harm muscle, cartilage, and joints. This oxidative stress also damages cellular mitochondria that are critical to healthy metabolism and energy production. So, if you're a long-distance runner, you should be concerned about controlling oxygen free radicals. Left unchecked, they can cause injury, reduce endurance, and increase recovery times. They also can keep you from achieving your training goals.
Latarum® probiotic can protect you from harmful free radicals by generating vital nutrients that activate your body's own natural defense against oxidative stress. Scientists call it the Nrf2 Cell Defense Pathway. When working as it should, Nrf2 activates over 200 genes that precisely control oxygen free radicals everywhere in your body. It's your body's internal anti-oxidant mechanism, and it's vastly superior to any regimen involving anti-oxidant supplements (see blog post: Anti-oxidant supplements can't substitute for Nrf2 Cell Defense).
You need Latarum® in your diet because eating healthy foods isn't enough
To function as it should, the Nrf2 Cell Defense Pathway requires vital nutrients known as Nrf2 activators that are no longer found in modern foods. Even so-called "healthy diets" don't provide what's needed. Latarum® fills the void by producing a Nrf2 activator from any diet containing coffee or apple products. Amazingly, probiotic bacteria like Latarum® were common in our ancestors' foods, but they have been systematically eliminated by radical changes in food production, processing, and storage. Latarum® is like the natural probiotic of our ancestors with all the modern advantages of a convenient dietary supplement.
Latarum® is different from other probiotic supplements
Latarum® is the only probiotic scientifically selected and verified to support the Nrf2 Cell Defense Pathway for total body protection from oxidative stress. Typical probiotic supplements can't generate Nrf2 activators because they lack the required biochemical machinery (see: Supporting Science).
How to revive your Nrf2 with Latarum® probiotic
One capsule, taken twice a day, allows Latarum® to work in your digestive tract 24/7 to generate Nrf2 activator. Latarum® produces Nrf2 activator best with a diet rich in caffeic acid, a natural compound found especially in coffee and apples. So it's best to combine Latarum® with a diet that contains coffee (regular or decaf) and/or apples, apple sauce, apple juice, cider, etc.*
