Supplements for Runners: Evidence-Led, Competition-Safe, and Minimal
A runner's supplement decision should follow the event demands and dietary assessment. A long list of ingredients is not evidence of a better plan.
A practical starting point
List the actual problem: inadequate food access, suspected deficiency, event fueling or a specific performance question. A sports dietitian can then assess whether any product earns a place.
What the evidence does not promise
Batch testing reduces some contamination risk but offers no absolute guarantee. Avoid unfamiliar products near an event, and do not substitute supplements for medical assessment of fatigue.
How to make it useful for your training
Bring a short record of your sessions, food routine and the specific problem you want to solve. Anthony can help organise the training plan and general habits; a sports dietitian or clinician should manage individual supplement protocols and medical concerns.
