Nutrients for Athletic Women

By:Jenna A. Bell, PhD, RD
There are several nutrients that are especially important to athletic women. Achieving an adequate intake of iron, calcium and B vitamins will help the fit female maintain her performance and a healthy body. Because these nutrients are so important, you'll find food options that support a women's healthy lifestyle. For example, Iron Girl™ Energy Bar by PowerBar® provides 40% of the Daily Value (DV) for iron, 20% DV for calcium and for B vitamins: 45% DV riboflavin, 35% DV niacin, 40% DV vitamin B6, 20% DV folate and 25% DV pantothenic acid.
