A ground-breaking advance in sports nutrition to improve running performance

Thomas Solomon, PhD.

April 1, 2022

After the unexpected runaway success of Super Moo Juice and Nocarbozade, today I am very excited to bring you yet another new product…

SuperMegaEnergySpinach

Why only use solar energy, soil nutrients, and rainwater to grow your spinach, then pick it, steam it and eat it?

That’s old school.

In the 2020s, you can use more energy to crush it, filter it, freeze-dry it, wrap it in plastic, then burn more fossil fuels to ship it thousands of miles across the world to rehydrate it and drink it!

Formerly growing in the ground near you.

Warm the globe, and get healthier today.

Less green. More powder. Mega energy.

Who is Thomas Solomon?

owlMy knowledge has been honed following 20+ years of running, cycling, hiking, cross-country skiing, lifting, and climbing, 15+ years of academic research at world-leading universities and hospitals, and 10+ years advising and coaching in athletic performance and lifestyle change.

owlI have a BSc in Biochemistry, a PhD in Exercise Science, and over 90 peer-reviewed publications in medical journals.

owlI'm also an ACSM-certified Exercise Physiologist (ACSM-EP), an ACSM-certified Personal Trainer (ACSM-CPT), a VDOT-certified Distance Running Coach, and a UKVRN Registered Nutritionist (RNutr).

owlSince 2002, I’ve conducted biomedical research in exercise and nutrition and have taught and led university courses in exercise physiology, nutrition, biochemistry, and molecular medicine.

owlAnd, with my personal experience of competing on the track (800m to 10,000m), the road (5 k to marathon), on the trails, and in the mountains, by foot, bicycle, cross-country ski, and during obstacle course races (OCR), I deeply understand what it's like to train and compete — I've been there, done it, and gotten sweat, mud, and tears on my t-shirt.
