Health products have always felt a little bit like a double-edged sword to me. On one hand, I’m constantly looking for ways to stay active, recover better, and keep myself moving. On the other, there’s so much out there with big promises that may or may not deliver.
Now that I’m a year past 40, I’ve started paying closer attention to what actually helps me. I may have been lighter, faster, or had more raw energy in the past, but right now I feel the most balanced and well-rounded in my fitness that I’ve ever been—and I really like that.
That’s why I’ve decided to spend some time highlighting a handful of health companies and products. We don’t cover these kinds of items too often at Run Oregon, and I’m not here to break down the science—that’s up to you to explore. What I can do is share some options that I’ve tried and found worth noting.
The first stop in this health series is The Momentous Three—a simple but powerful combo built with runners in mind. Instead of endless researching and making multiple purchases of tubs, pills, and powders, Momentous bundles three of the most widely respected supplements—Protein, Creatine, and Omega-3s—into one daily routine.
For runners, that means a lot of boxes checked without overcomplicating things.
- Protein helps with muscle repair after long miles and hard workouts.
- Creatine, while often associated with weightlifters, can actually give endurance athletes an edge by improving strength and helping maintain energy.
- Omega-3s? They’re great for keeping joints happy and easing inflammation, which any runner who’s logged big mileage knows can be a game-changer.
On a practical note, the protein tasted solid (always a plus when it comes to supplements), and the Omega-3s didn’t give me any of those dreaded fish burps. Creatine is new to me – though I have been talking/thinking about it for some time. It is tasteless (really easy to drink just with straight water – which was great) and I think it’s gonna be something I stick with.
Momentous also gives runners options when it comes to protein. You can choose from chocolate, vanilla, or unflavored, and there’s even a vegan protein version alongside the traditional whey. The whey protein tubs come with 25 servings, while the vegan option has 30—so either way, you’re looking at basically a month’s supply if you’re consistent with it.
What I also like about Momentous as a company is their athlete-first mindset. They work with pros across a wide range of sports—including endurance athletes—to build products that are clean, simple, and trusted. Everything is NSF Certified for Sport, and the convenience of getting these three essentials in one routine makes it easy to stick with.
For runners who want to cover the basics—supporting recovery, energy, and joint health—The Momentous Three keeps it simple and reliable, all in a routine that actually fits.
