Runner's Edge Greater Stamina and Faster Recovery Rigorous exercise like running or jogging triggers a complex series of physiological processes that can do serious damage to healthy cells and tissues. Charging ahead with more exercise while letting these processes go unchecked can have serious consequences for health and fitness. Damaging free radicals are caused by strenuous exercise in addition to other emotional, chemical and physical stresses and the dietary deficiencies of today's world. With the live enzyme nutrition of Runner's Edge™, you can maximize the benefits of your exercise program while minimizing the damage from Free Radicals. Runner's Edge™ safe at any level and can be taken everyday. Research has shown that in addition to being a great nutritional source of antioxidants themselves, these live enzyme foods from Biotec actually enhance the body's own production of antioxidant enzymes. Both processes boost the athlete's ability to get the most from a vigorous workout without endangering cellular health. Running Uses Extra Oxygen | The Safe Solution Directions for Taking Runner's Edge Product Size Retail Price 100 Tablets $21.95, 200 Tablets $38.95 RUNNING USES EXTRA OXYGEN? Top of Page To do their work, muscles need oxygen. Strenuous activity like running can increase the muscles' need for oxygen to as much as 20 times higher than when the body is at rest. This increased oxygen demand sets the stage for free radical damage, a serious problem that occurs both during and after the workout. Burning all this oxygen stimulates the production of three different kinds of free radicals: oxygen radicals, peroxide radicals and Superoxide radicals. Free radicals steal electrons from healthy cells and wreak havoc on the body's cells and immune system. They attack the cell membranes and get into the proteins that carry out the functions of the cell. There is evidence that free radicals even get into the DNA of the cell and cause genetic damage. THE SAFE SOLUTION? Top of Page Would nature really set us up with bodies that are defenseless against the by-products of our own exercise? Of course not! Nature equips the body with special enzymes call antioxidants which are responsible for the removal of Free Radicals before they can do their damage. These antioxidant enzymes do a fine job under ideal conditions and normal activity. Unfortunately, strenuous exercise results in large numbers of free radicals--more them even a healthy body can handle. So what do you do? How can you protect yourself from free radical damage? The solution can be found in some recent and very beneficial developments by Biotec Foods. Here we have developed IsoSproutPlex™. A highly concentrated blend of 'Live' whole food sprouts that are rich in the antioxidant enzymes Superoxide Dismutase (SOD), Catalase and Methionine Reductase. The sprouts are dehydrated at low temperatures to prevent harm to the live enzymes and are compressed into a convenient tablet form. Research has shown that in addition to being a great nutritional source of antioxidants themselves, these live enzyme foods from Biotec actually enhance the body's own production of antioxidant enzymes. Both processes boost the athlete's ability to get the most from a vigorous workout without endangering cellular health.
