Sangobion Reminds Filipinos On Optimum Blood Health With “Dugo’y Pagtibayin” Music Video with Sarah Geronimo

It is in great times of uncertainties where the Filipino resilience has always triumphed. The world is made witness that even in the face of tragedies and calamities, Filipinos will endure with big smiles on their faces — and this is what inspired Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) to create an anthem that would resonate to this unfailing spirit.

"Dugo’y Pagtibayin" by Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is a reminder to Filipinos that it is through our individual hope and strength that makes the collective power to rise amid this most trying time. Through the power of music to soothe the soul and with no less than Sarah Geronimo behind the song, this gives the melody a deeper meaning of how this nation can keep moving forward dahil sa lakas ng Dugong Pinoy.

"Sulong dugong Pinoy, pagtibayin ang dugo natin."

Sarah is a believer of the power of music to uplift spirits, "For me, mahalaga ang music lalo na ngayon na may pinagdadaanan tayo. Music is very powerful, it’s the language of our soul... Iba yung nagagawa niyang pang-boost ng morale."

With her soulful performance of the song, Sarah brings to life the meaning of dugong Pinoy with her every lyric that shows how a nation’s strength is fueled by Filipinos who do not get weakened nor get tired easily.

"Nung nalaman ko po na gagawa ako ng bagong kanta for Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+), I got excited. I know that it is going to be meaningful," shares Sarah Geronimo.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) put together this LSS-worthy and inspiring music video with the goal that as Filipinos start to go out of their houses more to serve their families and the nation, the more that they need to keep their blood health in check as one of the ways to keep the body healthy.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) asks the nation, "Do you know how to maintain your blood health?"

The "Dugo’y Pagtibayin" music video raises the awareness on maintaining healthy blood to help keep immunity at its peak. Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) takes the action to educate more Filipinos to take charge of their health by sharing these three ways on how to maintain one’s blood health:

1. Exercise regularly. Among the many benefits of exercising, when it comes to blood health, any exercise that can get the blood pumping even as simple as walking, is already beneficial to the body. The more the body moves, the more blood will be pumped around it. Good blood circulation helps the cells of immune system to move freely so they can function efficiently.
2. Manage your stress. Experiencing constant anxiety and stress can affect blood circulation. However, with the looming uncertainties brought upon by the current situation, it is inevitable to feel stressed – but this can be managed. Stress buster activities and behaviors like yoga, meditation, listening to music, or safely spending time with the people you care about can help you feel calmer and more in control of your life. Managing your stress better is one way to help improve your blood flow.
3. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+). If you’re running on a hectic routine whether you’re just at home or out for work, taking Multivitamins significantly helps when the food you eat isn’t able to provide your body the nutrients and minerals it needs.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) contains vitamins and minerals that helps to replenish iron stores and increases red blood cell levels in the body.

Recommended intake is one to two capsules daily, during or after meals, or as prescribed by your doctor.

Being proud to have a Dugong Pinoy means that you take charge of your overall health. Start by looking after your blood health to help keep your immune system at its peak.

If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

Constantly Tired? You May Be Experiencing A Case of Iron Deficiency Anemia

What happens to your performance and immunity when you’re Iron-deficient?

Productive people have one thing in common, they ward off feelings of constant exhaustion and drowsiness thinking these are just the result of their hectic lifestyles. They carry on with day-to-day activities even when they experience the inability to focus and perform and not realizing that this might be a symptom of Iron Deficiency Anemia.

Iron deficiency anemia happens when your blood has lower amount of red blood cells or hemoglobin  than  normal.  This  can  cause  you  to  feel  weak,  tired,  dizzy,  look  pale,  and experience headaches. People with chronic medical conditions, women in the reproductive age group and those who experience heavy menstrual bleeding are most vulnerable in having anemia. While those who are not able to maintain a healthy lifestyle are also at risk.

How to prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia?

The people who have higher risk to have iron deficiency anemia are women in the reproductive age group and those who experience heavy menstrual bleeding; athletes in endurance sports and high-altitude training that require the body with more red blood cells; and those with pre-existing chronic diseases.

A change in diet and nutrition comes as the first step. This can include choosing food with high iron content like poultry, meat, and seafood. Eating food rich in Vitamin C like fruits and dark green leafy vegetables can help enhance iron absorption.

For people with erratic schedules, managing a diet can pose as a challenge. Taking Multivitamins Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) can help keep iron deficiency anemia away as it helps the body get the nutrients and minerals it needs.

Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) is an iron supplement with vitamins and minerals that helps replenish iron stores and increase red blood cell levels in the body. It has ferrous gluconate, a type of iron salt which has better absorption in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12, which are vital for production of red blood cells. It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulphate and manganese sulphate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.

How Iron sufficiency plays a part in maintaining strong immunity

Micronutrients have an important role in regulating immune function, metabolism, and enzymes. Iron is an essential micronutrient that is needed by the enzymes to help maintain body immunity which can help protect the body against infection.

There are certain enzymes in white blood cells that are affected by the iron levels in the body. So, when Iron is deficient, the levels of enzymes in white blood cells are also reduced, and this can affect the body’s ability to fight off infections.

When you live an action-packed lifestyle, even when you’re just working from home but juggling multiple responsibilities, do not ignore the constant feeling of exhaustion. Fulfilling your daily intake of Iron can help support your body as you go through your daily activities.

Maintaining a healthy and nutritious diet, practicing various exercises, and taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) which acts as an iron supplement, can help manage symptoms or prevent Iron Deficiency Anemia. If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
