@linneagonzales: THE IMPORTANCE OF IRON FOR FEMALE ATHLETES: 🫘🥬🥩💪🏼🧠 Whether through food, supplementation, or BOTH - why is iron important? Iron is what carries oxygen to your blood. Having oxygen in your blood helps convert the food you eat into energy (glucose). Therefore, low iron levels could contribute to low energy, fatigue, brain fog, weakness, getting sick easily, and even dark circles under your eyes too! It’s a very important mineral that often gets overlooked for us WOMEN. We can lose iron from strenuous workouts, from sweating, too much caffeine, and also during menstruation. So if you feel yourself feeling fatigued/weak/foggy, it could be beneficial to get your iron levels checked. I love this one from Garden of Life since it’s NSF Certified - meaning, it’s safe to use for sport (this is very important if you are in college or compete in leagues/competition where there is drug testing). The FDA does not regulate supplements closely so it’s important to make sure your supplements are NSF Certified so they are safer to use for sport. Have you ever experienced low iron?
