Iron and More
for Lasting,
Natural Energy
by Terry Lemerond

f you’ve been low on energy and endur-
ance, you’re probably low on iron. Most
people have a deficit of iron in their diets,
and that’s because we’ve been told for
years that iron is only appropriate for chil-
dren, women of childbearing age, and pro-
fessional athletes. Nothing could be further
from the truth.
You need supplemental iron to keep
you energized throughout the day. But
you need the right form. The amino-
acid chelated form of iron I recommend,
combined with magnesium, copper and
zinc, will help you:
• Stay active longer
• Recover from exercise faster
• Prevent muscle injuries and heal faster
• Stop headaches and PMS symptoms
• Beat fatigue and “afternoon slumps”
IRON FOR ENERGY AND ENDURANCE
It’s probably a universal wish to have
more energy and endurance. Many of us

wake up to a fresh cup of coffee or tea “just
to get going”, or rely on an “energy drink”
to get through the afternoon. But there is a
far better approach to energy than revving
up your system with coffee or other stimu-
lants. It relies on the body’s own need for
strong, well-absorbed minerals to create the
red blood cells that fuel our system.
We’re going to explore the essential
minerals we need for healthy energy that
can keep us going the distance whether
we’re in a cross-country bicycle race, or
simply racing against a busy schedule.
EVERYBODY NEEDS IRON
Iron deficiency is the most common
nutritional deficiency in the United States.
Over 7 million women and 700,000 young
children in America are estimated to be iron
deficient. And, possibly due to the popular
idea that men “don’t need iron” middle-aged
and older men have been found to have low
iron levels as well.
