Need Safe Performance Enhancing Vitamins Or Drugs

I 42 years old, 5 7 tall. 78 kgs in weight. I am training for half marathon. Though i have ran the distance earlier in 2hrs 10 min, i wish to improve on speed. I have never taken any performance enhancing drugs. However, i wish to know if there are any safe performance enhancing vitamins or drugs which i can safely take.

Hello
First of all let me start of by saying there is no such thing as a "safe performance enhancing drug", every drug has its side effect it maybe big or small but none the less it has side effects. You can try floradix syrup its pretty effective for endurance athletes, other than that you can also add a vitamin tab to your diet .
Other than the above mentioned i will not ask you to take any other performance enhancing drugs.
Thank you and take care
