Increase Your Energy Levels with Iron

Increase your energy – Iron is an essential trace mineral in human nutrition and is essential for the production of haemoglobin and red blood cell oxygenation. Therefore Iron is essential for anaemia, stamina and healthy immune systems. An iron deficiency can cause pallor, hair loss, brittle nails and dizziness. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional disorder in the world and it is estimated that a quarter of the world’s population is iron deficient.

One recent anaemia study looked at 100 individuals aged 12 – 19. Of these 100 participants 78 of these were found to be anaemic. From these anaemic cases 35.89% presented iron deficiency, 91.02% folic acid deficiency and 19.23% vitamin B12 deficiency. All individuals from the original 100 participants that were B12 deficient were also anaemic. This study highlights perfectly why the nutritional supplements to support those with anaemia have combined iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Many also add vitamin C to the formulation because iron absorption is enhanced by the presence of vitamin C.

There are many products on the market to provide iron to those who require it with the best absorbed form being iron bisglycinate. Iron bisglycinate is well tolerated and unlike some forms of iron it is also non-constipating.
