Studies show that iron deficiency continues to be one of
the most common nutrient deficiencies worldwide.1
Irondeficiency anemia affects 4-5 million Americans
annually.2 Some symptoms of iron deficiency anemia
include extreme fatigue, weakness, headache, dizziness
cold hands and feet and brittle nails.3
Iron is essential for
the synthesis of healthy red blood cells and is important
for oxygen transport. It is also involved in energy
production, immune function and is important for the
production and function of various cells and hormones.2
The problem with many iron supplements on the market
is that they often cause stomach upset, constipation and
sometimes nausea. Iron 25 mg with B12 and Folate
contains the patented Ferrochel® form of iron which
features iron chelated to the amino acid glycine. This
form of iron was found to be gentler on the stomach and
better absorbed than other forms of iron in human studies
conducted by Balchem.
5 Vitamin B-12 and folic acid are
also included for additional support in building healthy
red blood cells.
FUNCTIONS
Iron is an essential trace mineral that is critical for energy
production as part of the mitochondrial electron transport
chain; part of the cell where ATP (energy) is
synthesized.1,2 Iron is an important component of the
antioxidant enzyme catalase, which helps neutralize
peroxide radicals.6 Iron is essential for the synthesis of
hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood
cells.1,2 Iron is also needed for amino acid me
