Iron Kingdom: Sleep & Muscle Building Supplement for Athletes & Bodybuilders – Boost Recovery & Performance

The triad for athletic physical performance is good nutrition, good exercise, and good sleep. (You can also talk about other factors such as emotional, spiritual, etc., but you won’t get very far without the three foundational aspects). Over the past year, I’ve made an effort to improve the sleep leg of the triad and this product was part of that effort.First a few words about my review process: I took this product for 6 weeks before deciding how to review it. For many sports supplements, the short-term results and long-term results don’t necessarily match. Also, you should expect this to improve the quality of your sleep and the way your body repairs itself overnight but you shouldn’t necessarily expect it to help you fall asleep. For some people, that may be a negative, but I view it positively as I’m not interested in products with melatonin or any other added sleep aids that may be habit forming.The benefits: I slept more soundly during the six weeks I took this. I awoke more refreshed. My muscles felt more “primed” for morning workouts. And my muscles generally recovered quicker from strenuous workouts. None of these positive effects were dramatic, but they were all noticeable and consistent. I’m hesitant to give 5-star reviews for sports/nutrition supplements because I think personal experiences can vary pretty significantly. I’m giving this one 4.5 stars, however, and rounding up because I’m confident of the manufacturing process and ingredient quality.
