Cranberries provide runners with an all-natural boost, according to new research

Running speeds improved 1.5% and they also had a higher reoxygenation rate.

Beet juice/kvass and natto work better.

I always wonder now who paid for the study and how much money are they going to make. Maybe I am getting too skeptical.

[ConservativeMind]

You are right to be skeptical, but consider if it’s a commodity and also if it’s cheap to prove out for yourself, and then doing it to validate it.

[ConservativeMind]

Interesting beverage and food choices there, sir.

Good ones!

Too much and it will boost you right into the restroom.

YMMV

Enjoy your cranberry juice,
but Men, be careful not to let any juice drip when you’re wearing your white Bergdorf Goodman; Giorgio Cashmere dress shirt: priced at $3990.

Or, when slumming about in your Dunhill Luxury Cotton dress shirt, minimally priced at $725.00

[Songcraft]

The best thing to do when you're guzzling your cranberry juice, is to wear one of your cranberry-colored shirts.

[lee martell]

Perfect solution: literally!

Plus it does wonders for my aging urinary track (65+).

Were I wearing such rags it would be high time to dispose of them along with my haberdasher lest someone confuse me with a Yale man like yourself.

They took extracts instead of a cranberry juice mix (usually about 15% cranberry juice). I wonder how much juice or whole cranberries one needs to consume to receive the benefit.

[lee martell]

Lol!

This always gives me a boost:

[Mr Rogers]

“A total of 14 trained runners were tested at i) baseline, ii) 2 h following an acute CE dose (0.7 g/kg of body mass), and iii) 4 weeks after daily supplement consumption (0.3 g/kg of body mass).”

No idea how that translates into real juice, but the actual results were not impressive.

“CE consumption for 28 d demonstrated a trend toward improving running times for the 1500-m TT (P = 0.10; η2 = 0.15), but not for the 400-m TT (P = 0.39; η2 = 0.07). Although NOT STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT, the faster running time during the 1500m TT translated to a 1.5% mean increase in running speeds. Baseline lactate levels were the same at all time points (P = 0.27; η2 = 0.11). CE significantly buffered the lactate peak at 1 min post-run for the 400-m TT (P = 0.01; η2 = 0.27), but not for the 1500-m TT (P = 0.33; η2 = 0.08) (Figure 2).”

But - if you eat too many, you will get “bogged” down😎

Sorry - couldn’t help it - I love Craisins

[EnquiringMind]

Haha! I always wear a tomato-colored shirt while eating spaghetti or making sauce!
