Inner Health

A bottle of probiotics belongs in every athlete’s fridge.

Last year in Kona, Norman Stadler and Faris AlSultan both gave the reason for their failure to finish and failure to start the Hawaii Ironman as a “stomach bug”.

I recommend every athlete take a probiotic like Health World’s, Inner Health each day in the week ot two leading into a major race. Using it as an insurance policy against stomach upsets.

Anyone travelling to a foreign country should carry a probiotic, just in case.

There is a balance in our stomach between the good bacteria and the bad bacteria. They’re constantly waging war on each other. When you take antibiotics, excess alcohol, or some other medications, you lower the number of good and bad bacteria in your stomach. If the “bad guys” multiply too quickly or if you eat or drink something contaminated, the “bad guys” can get the upper hand and you can become sick.

Avoiding a situation like that in the very important days leading into the race can be as simple as taking “Inner health”.

Every athletes fridge should have a bottle.
