Cycling

With outstanding sportsman such as Mark Cavendish, World road race champion, Tour de France green jersey winner and BBC Sports Personality of the Year, Britain has been emerging as a major nation in both road as well as track cycling, just in time for the London Olympics!

Membership of cycling clubs are booming with an increasing number of sports enthusiasts actively participating and competing in road races, time trials and specialist training camps. Cycling provides great cardiovascular exercise and tones the entire body. Due to these health benefits, this low-impact sport is also very popular in form of spinning classes as offered by most gyms.

In particular road racing is considered a highly challenging endurance sport with professional riders pushing their bodies at a maximum capacity for many hours at a time. As a result cyclists are said to be among the fittest athletes in the world!

Spatone is a 100% natural iron supplement that has been scientifically shown to provide iron with a higher bioavailablity than conventional iron tablets or multivitamin formulations containing iron.

Because of this unique bioavailablity, Spatone has also been scientifically shown to cause fewer of the side effects that are often experienced with iron supplementation such as constipation or nausea.

Today Spatone is recognised and used among an increasing number of professional and amateur, male and female athletes who want to go the extra mile.

Females endurance athletes (in particular runners!) and male and female vegetarian athletes are at a higher risk of iron depletion. A blood test undertaken by your doctor can examine the concentration of haemoglobin in your blood and the amount of stored iron in your blood stream (ferritin blood concentration) to establish if you need to actively include more iron in your diet or dietary supplementation.
