Keto Diet: Lack Of Iron
A study discovered that a Ketogenic diet reduces iron status in endurance athletes to an extent that may compromise their performance. ⁠

So if you are currently doing a keto diet make sure you are consuming foods with high levels of iron. Additionally using BioGenesis Chlorella Hyper Protein pre or post workout can help with performance or recovery with the added Natural Magnesium for essential muscle function, Omega 3 and 6, Zinc, Vitamin B12, Dietary fibre, Chlorella Growth Factor and Vegan friendly protein.⁠
