Gautam's Transformative Journey

My primary choice of sport is long-distance running. I was finding a way to get away from alcohol and unhealthy food choices and I was dabbling between functional training, biking, and running in 2015. I fell in love with running the most purely for its sheer simplicity and authenticity. Again, going back to 2015, I was about 120kgs when I first picked up functional training followed by biking. 3 months down the line, I was almost the same, my energy levels were low, I was super tired from my workouts, etc. That’s when a friend helped me out with nutrition. She understood my current food intake which pretty much was the standard Indian diet and helped me with a broad nutrition plan/guideline. Following that not only resulted in increased energy levels but also helped me shed weight, build muscles, and lead an active healthy lifestyle. That was my eureka moment when I realized that exercise, nutrition, and sleep go together when it comes to physical well-being. In my second year of running, I had a lot of recurring injuries and finally figured out that the major reason for this could be my extremely low Vitamin D levels. I was looking for a high-quality Vitamin D supplement and all I could find was the usual OTC and synthetic ones. That’s when I found Unived and they were selling the coconut oil-based Vitamin D supplement. Now when I think of it, it’s funny that I found Unived while searching for Vitamin D and not the usual endurance sport-related products! I really loved the product pages on the Unived website detailing the list of ingredients and the subsequent uses/benefits of these ingredients in the product. I used to enjoy reading each word whenever there was a new product launch. This helped in building that trust behind each product that I have tried and that I use currently. I trust in the story of the brand and the quality of the product. Also, I seriously believe that no one in the country comes close to the R&D and product ideation like Unived. Some of the products they launched like the COLOX, Rise, Grind, and Beet-420 are super revolutionary and maybe even ahead of their time at least in India. The recovery mix alone has played a huge role in my recovery process which has enabled me to sustain high mileage weeks day in-day out. Hands down the Recovery Mix – Coco Turmeric Latte. The harder the workout, the better these taste after the workout. I am also falling in love with the ‘Rise and Grind’ protein blend off-late. I just wish you offered a caffeine-free option as well so that I get to drink my cup of black coffee every day. I can go on writing pages about this. Starting with Vitamin D, Unived’s vitamin D helped me increase my levels to acceptable parameters which genuinely led to fewer injuries. This is still part of my daily regime even now. Moving on products like pea protein, super greens, recovery mix, and gels have been an integral part of my nutrition regime and endurance sport fueling over the past 4 years now. I would have struggled to achieve whatever little I achieved in this niche sport of running without Unived. I just can’t put the emotion behind how it has improved my life into words, but it has.
