Giselle Sanchez in Salaminkera

Sangobion Promotes Iron Deficiency Awareness with Salaminkera



The body needs specific vitamins and minerals to stay in tip-top condition. Although needed in minute quantities on a daily basis or in larger doses in certain instances, these essential substances are what make the system’s inner workings remain in perfect balance.

According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency anaemia is the most common nutritional disorder in the entire world, particularly among women and children. In fact, three out of every five women of reproductive age are prone to iron deficiency, although they may not necessarily be aware of their body’s iron shortage.


Ironis a necessary element for optimum health. It is needed to replace blood loss during menstrual cycles, cure bouts of dizziness caused by anemia, correct weariness and fatigue, help gain more focus & concentration, and aid in periods of gestation, lactation, pregnancy, and such periods surrounding childbirth. It is also required for the normal functioning of the immune system.

Some sources of iron in our daily diet include red meat, eggs, liver, oatmeal,nuts, as well as food supplements and formulations like Sangobion.


To promote awareness on the wondrous effects that iron has on the body, Sangobion proudly presents a one-woman show called “Salaminkera,” an educational and entertaining performance of the well-loved comedienne, Giselle Sanchez. This empowering event will be held on June 9th at the Lower Ground Level, Building A of SM Megamall.


When it came to presenting Salaminkera, Giselle Sanchez was the natural, most obvious choice. The loving wife, doting mother, and established career womanis the epitome of a true Sangobion woman. Giselle has been a regular Sangobion user since she gave birth to her second child, and so she understands the benefits the organic iron supplement offers firsthand.


“These days, women play multiple roles. These overlapping tasks can take its toll on your health, making you haggard and tired, especially if you’re breastfeeding. Women need balance juggling all of these acts. Drained energy will leave women feeling empty and tired. Luckily, iron supplement Sangobion is there to help us,” shared the multi-talented comedienne.


Giselle is a firm believer that the greatest comedy is always based on the truth. Inspired by the evil queen from the timeless tale of Snow White, Giselle will tackle issues relevant to today’s women as the truthful “woman on the mirror.” She will extol the numerous virtues of iron, discuss the three signs of iron deficiency, and will share the wonders that Sangobion has done for her—and what the supplement can do for other women. Of course, she will also provide honest answers to whatever questions may be thrown her way.


Coined after the term “Salamangkera,” a Filipino word for magician or wizard, Salaminkera is ideal for those who love mincing words and always being told the truth.

Sangobion is an organic iron supplement that has benefitted Filipinos for over 30 years. It fights signs of iron deficiency such as fatigue, paleness, lack of concentration, dizziness, and weakness.


Sangobion is primarily made up of ferrous gluconate, which is organic in origin, isthe most easily absorbed of all ferrous salt, and has less gastrointestinal side effects compared to ferrous sulfate. The supplement also contains other vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, vitamin B12, folic acid, Sorbitol, and other minerals.

With the help of Sangobion, Giselle hopes to inspire Filipinas everywhere and give them a boost of confidencethrough Salaminkeraso that they can keep looking, feeling, and performing their best.


Expect an enjoyable magic mirror ride as Salaminkera and Sangobion take everyone to an inside look at the world of the average Filipina. With insights coming from Giselle’s personal experiences, expect jokes and laughter to also contain bits of wisdom that will tickle both the funny bone and the mind.
