Energy & Iron for Moms: Stay Vibrant and Strong

Energy & Iron for Moms: Stay Vibrant and Strong

We promised moms a deep dive into why iron is vital for your energy and health. Iron deficiency is common among moms and teenage girls, draining energy and focus. Here’s how to stay strong with practical tips tailored for both moms and teens.

Why Iron Matters for Moms and Teen Girls

Iron fuels red blood cell production, delivering oxygen to keep you energised. About one in three women, including moms, and one in six teen girls face iron deficiency due to menstruation, pregnancy, or growth spurts [1]. The Recommended Dietary Intake (RDI) is 8–18 mg daily for women (30 mg during pregnancy) and 11–15 mg for teen girls. Getting this from food is tough—20 mg of iron means 300 g of beef liver or 700 g of spinach, and plant-based iron absorbs poorly.

Iron deficiency symptoms hit hard:

  • Fatigue or low energy
  • Dizziness or pale skin
  • Poor focus or irritability
  • Hair loss or brittle nails

For moms, these sap the stamina needed for parenting. For teenagers, they can hinder schoolwork and mood. A 2019 study linked iron deficiency in women to reduced endurance and cognitive function [1], while a 2021 study showed iron supplements improved energy and grades in teens with deficiency [2].

Nucleo and HemaFit: Your Iron Solution

Nucleo, our all-in-one superfood shake, delivers 4.5 mg of iron per 50 mg serving, supporting the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for women and teen girls, and complementing the iron most people already obtain from a balanced diet. For those needing extra support, such as pregnant women or individuals with iron deficiency, HemaFit Blood Support can help bridge the gap.

HemaFit Blood Support, a vegan-friendly supplement, delivers 20 mg of gentle ferrous bisglycinate per capsule, paired with Vitamin C, L-methyl folate, and methylcobalamin (B12) for optimal absorption and red blood cell production.

Unlike harsh iron pills that can cause stomach pain or constipation, HemaFit is side-effect-free, perfect for busy moms and teens. A 2020 study confirmed that pairing iron with Vitamin C, as HemaFit does, boosts absorption, speeding recovery [3]. A 2017 study also highlighted the role of folate and B12 in preventing anaemia during pregnancy and adolescence [4], making HemaFit a versatile choice to complement Nucleo’s comprehensive benefits.

For teenage girls, especially those with heavy periods or vegetarian diets, HemaFit supports energy and growth. Teens typically need 11–15 mg/day, so consult a doctor to confirm HemaFit’s 20 mg dose is appropriate [2]. Its natural ingredients are safe when used under guidance. 

Self-Care Tips to Boost Energy

  1. Test Your Iron: Persistent fatigue? Check haemoglobin levels. HemaFit’s dosing fits easily: 1 capsule daily for deficiency, 1–2 weekly for maintenance.
  2. Nourish Simply: Blend Nucleo, packed with 43 essential nutrients including iron, into a quick, delicious shake to fuel your day. It’s a lifesaver for busy moms and teens, or try cooking iron-rich meals like lentil soup or grilled chicken.
  3. Rest Strategically: A 15-minute nap or early bedtime recharges you and sets a healthy example for your daughter.
  4. Team Up: Encourage your teen to join you in taking HemaFit (if doctor-approved) or practicing healthy habits.
