Pump it Up with Clements Iron!
You go to the gym. You try to eat healthily. So why, oh why do you feel so tired all the time?
If this sounds familiar to you, the problem may be iron. According to national health surveys, around 70% of Australian women don’t get enough iron in their daily diet.
You would think athletes, with their healthy physical condition and often high-protein diets would have no problem with keeping iron levels up. Yet “athlete’s anaemia” is well documented. Female athletes have the double-whammy of being women and heavy exercisers, putting them in one of the highest-risk categories.
Why do exercisers need iron?
Iron is part of the muscle protein myoglobin, which means the more muscle you have, the more iron you’ll need. Heavy exercise can also damage red blood cells, called haemolysis. This means athletes must be particularly vigilant about their iron stores. Even recreational gym-goers still need iron. When exercising, it’s healthy iron levels that keep oxygenated blood pumping to your heart and muscles. It’s what makes the difference between karate-kicking your way with attitude through that vigorous Body Combat class, and slinking off to catch your breath! Low iron levels can also impede the fat loss process, because your cells can’t burn fat without the presence of oxygen. Why Clements Iron?Not all iron supplements are created equal. You’ll know this if, like many women, you’ve had problems with “iron tablets” before. The ferrous sulphate form of iron they contain is notorious for causing stomach upsets, constipation and bloating… yuk!
clements Iron is different. It contains a form of iron called ferrous bisglycinate, a special chelate which is bound to a protein molecule, so it’s absorbed much more readily into your system.
Clements Iron’s gentle formula is kind on the stomach - and as a liquid it’s fast-acting too. Plus, it’s helpful range of vitamins and minerals helps boost your energy and vitality. They include:
B vitamins (including B6 & B12, the 'vegetarian's mineral') Zinc Magnesium Potassium Clements Iron is available in pharmacies, for more information click here.C Entry is open to Australian residents except employees and their immediate families of the Promoter.
