As many of you already know, I am running my 1st marathon this weekend! 😱 One of my biggest concerns, besides fitting in the training with my busy work and school schedule, was staying healthy. Running is really good for you, but high mileage on a student schedule with less sleep than ideal and hours spent on public transportation, had me concerned… I was looking into ways to stay healthy before school started, and then I was given the opportunity to test Nuun Immunity through BibRave! 🙌🏻

First things first, what is Nuun? Nuun is an electrolyte supplement that you add to your water.  I’m sure many of you have tried Nuun before or even seen it at local races. There are a few different types: Electrolyte, Vitamins, and Immunity. I’ve used the Electrolyte tablets on some of my long runs for the sodium replacement. Immunity is different from the other varieties because there is less sodium and more immune boosting and inflammatory nutrients. I love that each tablet contains elderberry, turmeric, zinc, ginger, and echinacea, all things that might help prevent colds or reduce inflammation in your body.

Each tube comes with 10 tablets that dissolve easily in your water. No scooping or measuring is necessary, so perfect for people who live on-the-go lifestyles, like myself. There are two delicious flavors: Orange Citrus and Blueberry Tangerine. Blueberry Tangerine is my favorite, but both are tasty. Since, receiving the tablets in August I have had at least one tablet and as many as three a day. I’ve had to reorder a couple of times- that’s how much I love them! 🙂 There were a few weeks where many of my classmates and a few of the professors I work for as a nutrition assistant were sick and I managed to stay healthy.  What is even more amazing is some of the last few weeks I was only averaging 5-6 hours of sleep a night, which is not ideal for marathon training (or in general). I’m a person who feels best with 9 hours of sleep! I cannot speak for sure what has kept me healthy, but I feel like Nuun Immunity played a role! Plus, like a good future Registed Dietitian, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to stay hydrated and pair your Nuun Immunity with nourishing plant-based meals to be your strongest self 😉

You better believe I will be hydrating with all the beverages and drinking Nuun Immunity tablets like it’s my job over the next 4 days until the Chicago Marathon. Then a after the marathon, they will be a critical piece in my recovery puzzle 🙂 I am a believer! Nuun Immunity has helped me run healthy and happy this training cycle and I want it to help you too!  Head over to the Nuun website and use code HYDRATEBIBPRO for 20% off!

Have your tried Nuun before? If so, which is your favorite flavor? The Blueberry Tangerine Immunity and Blueberry Pomegranate Vitamins are my two favorite flavors. 🙂
