The range was founded by Damien Fitzpatrick, a recently retired NSW Waratah which was largely developed in response to the injury challenges Damien faced in his career and the gap he recognised in the market when it came to purposefully formulated micronutrition.

Fitzpatrick’s career was unfortunately better known for the torrid run of injuries he faced, featuring three ACL tears which left his knee highly compromised. Turning to micronutrition – particularly fish oil – was a necessity to prolong his career, avoiding the harmful impacts of long-term anti-inflammatory use. In the twilight of his playing days, Fitzpatrick went about working with some of the sharpest minds in nutritional science and elite sport to develop the PILLAR range.

I used the Magnesium powder and certainly noticed a difference in my recovery, post run. I didn’t feel the build up of fatigue as I increased my training load getting ready for the Delirious West 200 miler in February this year.  ( https://deliriouswest200miler.com.au/ ) The proof was in the pudding of course and I managed a negative split in the race , fishing stronger than when I started. A 15 hour PB, yep that’s right 15 hour PB, 68 hours and change , gold buckle run  and a 4th place. Of course I can’t say hand on heart it was all down to Pillar products but I certainly trained better with them and the end result was beyond my expectations.
