Running is simple. So should your nutrition. As I entered my late 30s, I started paying closer attention to my nutrition. I had a supplement routine that worked well but involved taking over 10 different bottles. As a Chemical Engineer from Georgia Tech, I knew I could engineer something simpler. I sketched out the formula, found a USA manufacturer to create, and made 48 bottles for myself. Fast forward to today, Peregrune is a company that has sold over 3 million vitamins to runners across the country. Peregrune helps runners achieve their running goals by engineering vitamins and supplements exclusively for them. Best wishes on chasing your running goals!
