Molloys Nutritional Products.

Before departing to Belgium I had been spending a lot of time working with James Geraghty from Molloy's Pharmacies. We had been looking at a number of areas in my athletic make up such as Nutrition and Lifestyle. It was during this phase that James kindly enquired would I be interested in being sponsored by Molloy's Pharmacy. Such opportunities as this rarely show face, so I accepted knowing only good things could come from the arrangement. James has supplied me with a number of up and coming nutritional products from the stock which is available in Molloys Pharmacy. Since I will be racing and training full time in Belgium my body will be stressed to its maximum and consistently fatigued. This should provide a perfect testing ground for the products to see do they provide my body with necessary nutritional benefits that are needed to rest, recover, and progress in my athletic field. At the current time the product that I am using are listed below. I will give a quick review of how I feel these products have affected me to date, and if you keep an eye on my posts from here on out you will see how I am using them before, during and after sporting events.




Products:





1. Body Glide Anti-Chafe: Very similar to Vaseline except it possesses anti-bacterial properties, rubbed on under areas it provides a friction free non chafe layer which prevents saddle sores and promotes cycling comfort



















2. Kinetica 100% Recovery, Post-Training Recovery Supplement: Most beneficial product I have used vital part of my weight management programme, quick and easy after race and hard training gives body the vital nutrients it needs to recover fast without the bother of preparing large meals and the fear of overeating.










3. Kinetica Whey Protein: This product is a high quality protein which I generally use to keep my protein levels topped up when recovering from tough events like hard training or races, A scoop of this product into either water or milk (I actually find it tastes quite nice in water and also keeps calorie intake down) and it will provide your body with a sufficient blend of essential amino acids, proteins and fluid from the milk or water. It is here that I usually add a tablespoon of Udo's Oil in order to make it easier to take and also the addition of the oil has been proven to keep the body focused on the metabolism of fat after exercise.

4. Udo's Essential Oil: I was introduced to this product by Molloys Pharmacy recently and since using it I feel my immune system has picked up ridding me of all those annoying colds and coughs that I always was faced with. it also provides my body with the essential fatty acid's, and omega's that I would usually deprive it of when focusing on maintaining a strict diet.











5. Molloys Sports Gel, Joint & Muscle Care: Great for just after sports events helps relax stressed muscles and promotes recovery of all connective tissue. Having had problems in my calf regions in the past I feel this product is a vital part of keeping my joints, muscles and tendons in working order.















6. Molloys Joint & Muscle Rub: Really relieves aches and pains especially in lower back, neck and around feet and knees, Rubbed in generously on these areas and if you can handle the faint Deep-Heat smell you will find that the results are what you seek.














7. ZYM Electrolyte Drink Tablets, Caffeine & Non Caffeine: Great for both training and racing, provides body with the electrolytes and salts it needs to keep hydrated, and if you chose the caffeine product you can that extra kick of the 100mg of caff in each tablet.
















8. Molloys Energy+ Multivitamin, Mineral & Herbs Capsules: With it being a powdered capsule instead of a tablet means nutrient uptake will be higher. After taking 1 every morning I have felt more energised and with a reduction of that run down feeling, mouth ulcer, colds, coughs and tiredness I can honestly say that they are having a positive effect on me.







Over the coming weeks I will be constantly speaking of how I am using these items in my sporting lifestyle so hopefully now you will know what I am on about.

Heading back to Ireland this Tuesday for the national championships on the 27th so hoping for a nice result, it is taking place in Sligo town so if your around on that date make your way there.
