BiOptimizers
One of the best and easiest ways to improve the quality of your sleep is by getting enough MAGNESIUM.
Why? Because research shows that magnesium lowers cortisol levels, so you feel less stressed, and increases GABA levels which encourages relaxation at the cellular level, both of which help you enter and stay in a state of “deep sleep” for longer.
That’s why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. Unlike generic supplements, BiOptimizers “magnesium breakthrough” product contains all 7 unique forms of magnesium, which is critical for maximizing its effectiveness.
If you’re interested in seeing just how much magnesium can help your sleep, head to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop and use the code RUN10 to save 10% and get two special gifts.
LMNT
Maintaining electrolyte levels as you gear up for your big spring races is critical to your performance.
That’s why we recommend all runners check out LMNT. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial.
Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. To get this special offer and make sure you’re hydrating properly this spring, head over to drinklmnt.com/runnersconnect.
