C-Lium Fibre keep Anton del Rosario go further.

Anton del Rosario, who has been playing for the Azkals since 2003 and was part of the historic team that won the 2010 ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup held in Vietnam and Indonesia. Having played the sport for over a decade, Anton knows football from the inside out, and considers it primarily as a mental game. “Playing football is my therapy,” he says. “When I play, I don’t have to think about things outside of football. More often than not, I’m happy in the field.”

Certainly, football is also a very physical game. It is something that Anton prepares for by eating well, sleeping anywhere from seven to eight hours in a day, and practicing in the field six days a week. In between training, Anton hits the gym to keep his body in tiptop shape. 

So, what makes Anton del Rosario go further?  Another factor in his health arsenal is C-Lium Fibre, a fiber supplement made from 100 percent natural psyllium fiber . Anton says that it makes him feel light, something that is crucial for a sport that demands him to cover distances and tests his limits. “C-Lium makes me feel lighter,” he says. “And feeling lighter helps give a little bounce to my step.”

“Fiber is necessary in your diet because I believe it helps cleanse your system,” he says. “By being clean from the inside, you feel lighter. And because I feel lighter, I feel that I have a surplus of energy.”

It seems that he needs all the energy he can get now that Anton has been reinstated back to the Azkals, where he hopes to “be able to take a leadership role as an experienced player.” He has had training in this department, having been the team leader of Kaya Football Club, which is under the United Football League.

Though he may be pushing himself constantly and setting his limits high, Anton says that he keeps things in check by also taking care of the other things that matter to him. For instance, he makes sure that he gets to play football with his son Myles. “We already have Myles playing at the Kaya Academy and he loves it,” he says. “It’s good to have him involved at a young age.”

C-Lium Fibre is made from 100% natural psyllium fiber and is a good source of soluble and insoluble fiber. It comes in husk powder and capsule variants and is available in leading drugstores and supermarkets nationwide.
