IRON DEFICIENCY AFFECTS approximately 30% Of female athletes, affecting their performance. Iron supplements are readily available over the counter but not everyone's iron absorption is sufficient. A study published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements, shows that combining a common over-the-counter dosage of iron combined with Regular Girl, a premium blend of Sunfiber plus probiotics, may significantly improve iron uptake with no known side effects. "I have previously studied iron's effects on active women's performance. My goal with this study was to look at how we can maximize iron uptake," says Diane DellaValle, PhD, RDN, LDN, a King's College associate professor and research dietitian. "When I learned about the pre- and probiotics in Regular Girl, I knew they were good for uptake of certain minerals. I wanted to see if this simple intervention would benefit female athletes." A first of its kind, Regular Girl is a synbiotic blend of clinically proven prebiotic fiber (Sunfiber, a highly stable guar fiber) and clinically studied Bifidobac-terium lactis probiotics. In keeping with trending consumer demand, Regular Girl is all-natural, organic and 100% gluten-free. It contains no eggs, yeast, soy, salt, artificial flavours or preservatives. It is also certified low-FODMAP and Non-GMO Project Verified. It's also taste-free, odor-free and dissolves invisibly in most beverages.
