This time on Cook Eat Run, Charlie Watson is joined by Dr. Dan Plews from Pillar Performance to delve into the science behind micronutrients and their impact on athletic performance. Dan, the head of research at Pillar Performance, shares insights into how specific supplements like magnesium, omega-3s, and collagen can enhance recovery and performance for athletes.

Understanding Micronutrients

Dan explains the vital role of micronutrients such as magnesium and omega-3s in an athlete's diet. He highlights how these nutrients support various physiological processes, including muscle function, inflammation reduction, and overall metabolic health.

Magnesium: The Unsung Hero

Discover why magnesium is crucial for athletes, especially those losing it through sweat during high-intensity workouts. Dan discusses the benefits of Pillar Performance's triple magnesium blend designed to maximise absorption and minimise gastrointestinal distress.

Omega-3s for Optimal Recovery

Dan emphasises the importance of omega-3 supplementation, particularly for athletes, due to its anti-inflammatory properties and benefits for heart, brain, and muscle health. Learn how to integrate omega-3s into your routine effectively.

Collagen and Tendon Health

Explore the benefits of collagen supplementation for joint and tendon health. Dan explains how collagen peptides can improve tendon stiffness and force production, making it a valuable addition to an athlete's regimen.

Supplementation Strategies

Dan shares practical advice on how to incorporate these supplements into your daily routine, ensuring maximum benefit and absorption. He also discusses the importance of consistency and the right timing for each supplement.
