This week’s show brought to you by: MassZymes from BiOptimizers 

Digestive enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that your body makes to help break down food and aid digestion.  

Since we know stomach issues are such a prevalent issue for runners, we asked our friends at BiOptimizers to hook you up so you could try digestive enzymes with no risk to see if they can work for you.  

Right now you can get a bottle of MassZymes for FREE. All you need to do is pay a small shipping fee and there’s no catch.  

There’s no tricks, no forced continuity, nothing to cancel. 

MassZymes is a 17-enzyme full-spectrum formula that contains all of the key enzymes needed for optimal digestion. 

It also contains AstraZyme which is an all-natural, plant-derived compound that boosts amino acid absorption by 30-60 percent. 

Go to masszymes.com/runtothetopfree . You will automatically get access to your unique coupon code to claim your free bottle. Limit one per household.  

Offer is valid while supplies last. If you struggle with stomach issues, this could be a game changer.
