Natural iron supplement for normal energy-yielding metabolism
An adequate iron status matters for physical and mental vitality. Iron plays a key role in oxygen transport in the blood and in energy metabolism: iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, to normal oxygen transport in the body and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Iron also contributes to normal cognitive function and to normal function of the immune system.
Heme iron from beef blood and non-heme iron from plants are absorbed by the body via different pathways. The absorption of plant-based non-heme iron is inhibited by substances such as phytates, whereas heme iron is hardly affected by them – even without added vitamin C.
Iron requirements are not the same for everyone. Women of childbearing age need more iron because of menstruation; for men, athletes and people who eat a mostly plant-based diet, iron intake is also worth keeping an eye on. Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutrient gaps and often first shows up as persistent tiredness. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Ferritin, by the way, is the storage value experts use to assess the body’s iron stores; a blood test will tell you more.
