To hear the marketing team at any sport supplement company tell it, your next personal best is just one sip, slurp, or shot away. Whether it\u2019s the latest super-food concentrate, the greatest powdered potion or maybe even a new topical gel, the market for performance supplementation is crowded, with each new product promising some combination of performance buzzwords like optimal recovery, reduced blood lactate, greater muscular endurance or delayed-onset fatigue. But with so many options out there, when it comes to maximizing performance, is there really one \u201csilver bullet?\u201d And in the age of \u201cperformance-stacking\u201d supplements, where does good, old-fashioned hard work fit into the mix?<\/p>\n
In the second instalment<\/a> of The Shakeout Podcast\u2019s series on running buzzwords, we\u2019re joined by sports science writer Brady Holmer to help us cut through the hype and understand the science behind some of today\u2019s most talked-about performance-hacking supplements. From beetroot and bi-carb to ketones and creatine, Brady has not only applied his background in human performance to understanding\u00a0 the science behind the supplements, but, as a high-level marathoner himself, has put them to the test in the real world.\u00a0<\/p>\n Tune in this week as we take a deep dive into the science of supplements to help you figure out how these supposed performance boosters work, how they measure up against their own claims and what\u2019s worth really your time and money, when it comes to maximizing performance.<\/p>\n Subscribe to\u00a0The Shakeout Podcast\u00a0feed on\u00a0Apple<\/a>,\u00a0Spotify<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0or wherever you find your podcasts.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"To hear the marketing team at any sport supplement company tell it, your next personal best is just…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":903917,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[64,63,472046,472047,6194,472048,137,472049,111184,472050,347024,532,434558,347025,190949,472051],"class_list":["post-903916","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nutrition","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-beetroot","tag-bi-carb","tag-creatine","tag-gels","tag-health","tag-ketones","tag-lactate","tag-marathon-fueling","tag-nomio","tag-nutrition","tag-running-news","tag-shakeout-podcast","tag-sports-science","tag-sports-supplements"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903916","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=903916"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/903916\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/903917"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=903916"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=903916"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=903916"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
