MAS Iron


Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most
common reasons for poor results during workouts and races. 


Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86%
of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely
hampers performance.


The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with
traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously
difficult for the body to absorb and utilize.


In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources
is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is
absorbed.


But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to
ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance.


By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron
with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron
performs like no other iron product on the market.


In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of
ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase
bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.
