Weakness in “these days”: what to do?

Lethargy, dizziness, lack of desire and strength to do something … Many women are familiar with this condition that sometimes accompanies the first days of menstruation and reduces the level of our usual activity and productivity. Can you fight it? And, most importantly, how?

Fortunately, the answer to this question is unequivocal: it is possible and even necessary to fight. You should not consider weakness during menstruation as something inevitable – a kind of “payback” for the reproductive capabilities of women. In fact, such a condition, although it occurs for natural physiological reasons, should not be the norm for the body. However, let’s go in order.

Natural blood loss and the associated fluctuations in the level of iron in the blood are considered one of the main reasons for this condition. During menstruation, a woman can lose from 50 to 250 (with excessively heavy periods) mg of iron¹… This can lead to unpleasant manifestations: weakness, fatigue, decreased productivity, lack of strength and desire to do something.

We repeat again: these sensations are associated not so much with the very fact of blood loss (which cannot be canceled), but with a potential decrease in iron stores in the body. Therefore, you can (and should) fight them!

You need to understand that it can be quite difficult to replenish iron stores in such a volume from food alone. Only 10-15% of the iron contained in food is absorbed into the blood²… However, of course, it is important to ensure that the diet is adequate and balanced and contains various sources of iron: both heme (meat and organ meats) and non-heme (vegetables). ¹.

One solution to maintaining the balance of iron in the body is to take appropriate balanced iron complexes.

It is very important to find the optimal – easily digestible and bioavailable – form of iron, preferably in combination with the necessary vitamins. A good example of a remedy with such a composition is the original modern complex. VitaFerr.

The composition VitaFerrbut includes:

• ferrous bisglycinate – easily digestible³ a form of iron with a low risk of gastrointestinal discomfort⁴;

• vitamins for better absorption of iron⁵, support the normal functioning of the hematopoietic and nervous systems;

• Calcium L-methylfolate (folate) is a special form of folic acid that does not require additional transformations and is immediately involved in the reactions taking place in the body.

Such a synergistic composition allows an innovative⁶ complex VitaFerr to fight the manifestations of weakness and fatigue during menstruation. It also contributes to maintaining the balance of iron in the female body, increasing its activity and efficiency.

VitaFerr very convenient to take: it is enough to take 1 capsule (containing 30 mg of iron) per day. One package is designed for an optimal 30-day course of administration.

Of course, feeling good these days is a complex issue. In addition to having adequate nutrition, taking additional sources of iron is very important and taking care of yourself in general. Distribute home and work tasks, taking into account the characteristics of the cycle, rest more, walk in the fresh air and replenish all the internal resources of the body!
