It is in great times of uncertainties where the Filipino resilience has always triumphed. The world is made to 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 with 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 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 in 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:
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 the immune system to move freely so they can function efficiently.
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.
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+) contain vitamins and minerals that help 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.

As Work-From-Home (WFH) becomes the new normal, the realities of performing work and home functions simultaneously may feel like a never-ending cycle. While everyone is trying their best to get a knack for winning in this situation, managing this new lifestyle stressor is not easy for all women, and coping might even be more difficult for working moms.
Pressures build up over time and if unaddressed, it can result in chronic stress that may also affect your blood health. If you notice yourself experiencing symptoms of prolonged fatigue, lack of energy, and lack of motivation, it is time to reassess your lifestyle as you may be experiencing a case of iron deficiency anemia.
Healthy blood leads to a healthier immune system
Ang Dugo Mo, Kamusta? — is the question that Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) wants every Filipino to have for themselves and their loved ones. Iron Deficiency Anemia is a common case in Filipino women and those with chronic medical conditions. And most of those who have it have learned to function despite experiencing its symptoms.
When the body has iron deficiency anemia, it is unable to produce healthy red blood cells which store and carry oxygen to the other parts of the body. The risk of not addressing this condition may take a toll on the immune system and the body can be more susceptible to illnesses and infections
Small lifestyle changes to boost your blood health and immunity
Incorporating small healthy changes into your current WFH situation can help improve your blood health. Here are three easy ways to add to your daily schedule to fight iron deficiency anemia and keep your immunity healthy.
Perform quick 12-minute exercise routines daily
There are plenty of workout routines available online that you can complete in under 15 minutes. But if you still find those taxing, just keep in mind that the goal is to have your heart rate up a little, so think of it as working out efficiently by exerting the right amount of effort.
This can be as basic as going up and down the stairs, jumping rope, or even just walking around the house for 12 minutes. If you want more intensity, you can try high-intensity interval training (HIIT) with short but intense bursts of activity with short break periods.
Moderate exercise routines when done daily can boost your immunity. Plus, it also helps boost your energy for the day.
Help your body fight off iron deficiency anemia with Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+)
Proper diet and nutrition help keep the body healthy. Going for nutritious meals over processed ones and choosing food rich in iron like red meat, beans, dark green leafy vegetables to add to your diet can benefit your body positively. But for those who are running on hectic daily schedules, monitoring a balanced diet might be a hard commitment to make.
Taking multivitamins daily can help the body get the nutrients and minerals it needs when your food intake won’t be able to provide them.

It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and copper sulfate and manganese sulfate that helps in the metabolic processes of blood cell production.
Get quality sleep
Sleep is vital to having a strong immune system and while everyone is aware of this, not all are keeping close tabs on their sleeping routines. The National Sleep Foundation released sleep-quality recommendations, which include:
- being able to fall asleep in 30 minutes or less,
- waking up for five minutes or longer not more than once a night, you fall back asleep within 20 minutes, and
- are asleep 85% of the time you spend in bed.
If you’re guilty of not meeting these recommendations, try to change up the way you get ready for bed.
- Create a healthy sleep routine by going to bed and waking up at the same time daily to train your body and mind on a schedule.
- Free yourself from your phone or tablet at least one hour before bedtime so your brain won’t be stimulated.
- Establish a relaxing bedtime routine like reading a book, meditation, or drinking tea to put you into a state of calm.
Consider these small lifestyle changes an investment in your health. When you maintain healthy blood, it keeps you less vulnerable to getting illnesses and infections. Taking Multivitamins + Minerals (Sangobion IRON+) helps regulate your blood iron, so you won’t have to worry about experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency anemia.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.

What happens to your performance and immunity when you are 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 a 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 to 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 a 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 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 that has better absorption in the body, Folic acid, and vitamin B12, which are vital for the production of red blood cells.
It also contains Vitamin C which helps improve iron absorption, and Copper sulfate and manganese sulfate 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 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.
