Daily Iron

Iron, an essential mineral, plays a pivotal role in maintaining optimal health. Adequate iron levels are essential for numerous physiological functions, including oxygen transportation, energy production, cognitive function, cell division, biotransformation and immune cell support.

Supplementing with a bioavailable and well-tolerated form of iron is paramount to maintaining healthy levels and long-term adherence. Low-bioavailability iron supplements are associated with GI side effects like abdominal cramping, nausea, constipation or diarrhea in up to 80% of individuals, resulting in a 50% early discontinuation rate. Unlike many conventional iron supplements, ferrous bisglycinate is associated with fewer GI side effects, including gas, bloating and constipation.

Suggested Use:

1 capsule per day or as recommended by your health care professional.

BENEFITS:

Hemoglobin Concentration

Reacted Iron is formulated with ferrous bisglycinate, an amino acid chelate form with a two-fold higher bioavailability than traditional iron salts (e.g., ferrous sulfate). A meta-analysis examining the effect of 4-20 weeks of iron supplementation concluded that ferrous bisglycinate supplementation improves hemoglobin concentration and causes minimal GI symptoms.

Energy Balance

Iron is a vital component in energy metabolism, serving as an important factor within the electron transport chain. Inadequate energy production is associated with fatigue.

Prenatal Support

Several health organizations, including the World Health Organization and National Institutes of Health, recommend iron supplementation during pregnancy to support maternal and fetal health.
