Iron is a mineral involved in the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin (the red pigment that binds oxygen), as well as in oxygen transport. As such, it helps reduce fatigue, particularly in cases of anemia caused by iron deficiency (martial anemia).
Iron is carried by amino acids, which makes it non-irritating and non-constipating and allows for better absorption by the body. The absorbed iron helps restore the body’s iron stores, promoting better overall oxygenation of all cells and body tissues.
Iron deficiency is particularly common in women due to menstruation, especially when periods are heavy and regular. Any blood loss results in iron loss that must be replenished through diet. However, diets are too often low in iron, and this is even worse in cases of dietary restrictions or weight-loss diets. Other circumstances can lead to iron deficiency, such as regular bleeding, surgeries, accidents, repeated pregnancies close together, sudden growth spurts in children, and aging, which slows down iron absorption, etc.
Iron is present in the hemoglobin of red blood cells, which transport oxygen to all cells. It is also present in myoglobin, a substance similar to hemoglobin, which helps muscles store oxygen. Iron is essential for the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary source of cellular energy. It plays a role in several vital physiological processes, such as the regulation of cell growth and differentiation. The body cannot synthesize iron and must therefore obtain it from food. Nature works in such a way that when the body’s iron stores decrease, iron absorption increases. Conversely, when stores are high, absorption decreases, thereby protecting the body from potentially toxic iron overload.
Solgar Fer Doux capsules contain iron bisglycinate, a form of iron bound to amino acids that makes it non-irritating and non-constipating. This formulation allows for better tolerance and optimal absorption of iron by the body. As a result, iron is absorbed more effectively and helps restore the body’s iron stores without causing side effects such as constipation, which is often associated with other forms of iron supplements.
Iron supplementation is particularly important for preventing or correcting iron deficiency. Solgar Gentle Iron capsules provide 25 mg of iron per dose, which helps restore the body’s iron stores and improve overall oxygenation of cells and body tissues. In addition to helping prevent iron-deficiency anemia, Solgar Gentle Iron can also support overall health by promoting greater energy and vitality.
