The #1 global deficient mineral is Iron and IRONically it is one of the most critical minerals to our existence. WHO NEEDS IT?
Everyone who breathes requires Iron to make blood. This can be obtained through plants, animal meat, or supplements. Iron is found to be low in those individuals who chronically use aspirin, use acid neutralizing products, consume alcohol, have IBS, Leaky Gut, other GI disorders, endurance athletes, vegetarians and vegans. Are you training more than 6 hours weekly?
Individuals with low iron levels, female athletes, and athletes and individuals with plant based diets need to supplement with Athletes Iron to maintain optimal iron levels. It has been shown that athletes who train for over 6 hours weekly often show signs of iron deficiency anemia. Our 3 week protocol is shown to increase iron levels when used as directed. Female athletes lose blood during their menstrual cycles leading to fatigue, a decline in exercise capacity and VO2 max; the maximal amount of oxygen the body can use. Athletes loose iron via gastrointestinal bleeding, sweat, urine, and foot strikes which can increase the destruction of red blood cells. Iron deficiency can lead to anemia which has more severe symptoms including; weakness, decreased exercise performance, increased heart rate & shortness of breath during exercise, headaches, and dizziness. The patented Iron Chelate used in Athletes Iron is Ferrochel, clinically proven to be up to 6x higher in efficacy and absorption. The iron is bonded to amino acids which dramatically improves absorption, reducing the gastrointestinal irritation and constipation. Clinical studies commonly find NO incidence of gastrointestinal complaints in patients given Ferrochel dosed at 30mg for 4 weeks. Athletes Iron also contains the prebiotic; gum acacia, which helps the good bacteria grow inside the intestines.
