As the president of Do Good Sups I have always been a big fan of the outdoors, hiking, walking, skiing exploring areas of natural beauty. As a young man one of my first encounters with nature was finishing the West Coast Trail in British Columbia, Canada. An area of amazing beauty, yet a difficult trail to hike. I finished that challenging trail with other young men in the scouting program and decided that this adventure would be the start of making sure I would continue to look for opportunities to lift my spirts and improve my fitness levels in the great outdoors. I would always try to be in nature and encourage others to do the same.
We want to encourage everyone regardless of age and ability, to seek the outdoors and the benefits it offers to body, mind and soul. And to support people’s health and well-being with quality products so they can keep being active and healthy.
The last few years of lockdown has played a big role in peoples mental health and fitness levels. Just getting outside for 15 mins a day can be helpful. After a great day outside, enjoying bike rides, long walks near the ocean, or in the mountains, do you ever come home depressed?
Of course not, the outdoors is a “natural antidepressant”. You may come home tired but rarely feeling down.
Allergic disorders now effect 25% of people in the developed world. Those are staggering numbers, and “allergies” can be a minor nuisance or a debilitating condition that prevents people from enjoying the outdoors. Concerns for some people venturing into the outdoors is the potential of allergic reactions to grass, pollens and other environmental toxins. More and more people seem to be affected by allergic reactions. If not addressed, chronic allergic inflammation occurs and can become a deterrent to being in the outdoors. Don’t let allergies stop you from being outside , The Pedestrian is very effective at reducing allergies, reducing inflammation, runny nose, itchy eyes.
Exercise and Heath
Studies show that exercise seems to protect us from picking up colds and flu. Those that exercise even recreational exercisers report having fewer colds and flu once they begin running or walking. Moderate exercise has been linked to a positive immune system and a boost in endorphins, they help to relieve pain, reduce stress and improve mood.
In addition to the benefits of exercise and outdoor activities “The Pedestrian” can play an important part in reducing inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6, reduce oxidative stress, and support the body to stay activate and avoid some of the injuries that can sideline us from doing what we love.
For the serious athlete “The Pedestrian” can be an awesome tool to increase muscle recovery time, less lactic acid build-up, and consistent comfort at the end of a workout. The product provides marvelous biomarkers for all athletes such as long-distance runners.
Grape seed extract in the formula has exceptional antioxidant properties, but it also has been shown to inhibit fat deposits and give an energy boost and “pump up your metabolic rate” which helps to burn more calories. What a combo, exercise in the outdoors and the added benefits of taking “The Pedestrian”.
A study published in the National Library of Medicine showed high intensity eccentric exercise caused muscle damage. Polyphenol rich Grapeseed extract was an effective way to decrease cellular membrane damage after exercise.

Effects of acute grape seed extract supplementation on muscle damage after eccentric exercise: A randomized, controlled clinical trial

A new study now shows grape seed extract may improve the delivery of oxygen to working muscles which could lead to performance benefits.
Zinc in the formula plays a key role in muscle and tissue development. Specifically in skeletal muscle, zinc has been found to affect the myogenesis (the formation of skeletal muscle tissue) and muscle regeneration due to its effects on muscle cell activation.
