Iron - the secret of your health and energy
Imagine your body as a factory working at full capacity, providing energy, growth, and cell repair, with iron as the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you immediately feel tired, weak, have heart palpitations, or paler skin. Other symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased susceptibility to infections, and anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body) manifesting as extreme fatigue. In anemia, the body is not adequately supplied with oxygen and tires quickly. A signal of iron deficiency may also be bruising, as this mineral plays an important role in the production of hemoglobin, which supports the proper function of platelets.
Ashwagandha - The Cortisol Tamer
You definitely know the feeling when you're in danger. A big dog jumped out from behind a fence, your boss scolded you in a meeting, or you have a mortgage payment due tomorrow and just got laid off. In such cases, the body produces the steroid hormone - cortisol. It has protected us for centuries in dangerous situations, preparing the body for 'fight or flight.' The heart races, blood flows to vital organs, and pain levels are suppressed... You might say - the most useful thing under the sun!
Iron - the Elixir of Youth
Anyone who admires the muscular Arnold Schwarzenegger has surely seen the documentary Pumping Iron about his complex transformation from a skinny teenager to an absolute physical Olympian. His musculature is still admirable today. And it was ordinary iron that helped him achieve it. Of course, it's a joke; he mainly lifted iron. However, to make his muscles look like Hercules', he needed iron in a completely different form.
