Iron is an essential nutrient that plays a major role in immunity, cardiovascular health and cognitive development. This trace element is a constituent of hemoglobin, the molecule that transports oxygen to our tissues and cells. Iron is also present in myoglobin, a muscle oxygen reserve.
Finally, iron is an integral part of numerous enzymes involved in essential metabolic reactions (DNA synthesis, neuromediator production, etc.).
Iron requirements are particularly high for women of childbearing age, due to the losses associated with the menstrual cycle. Similarly, pregnant women need large quantities of iron to cope with increased blood volume and fetal tissue development.
Finally, people following a vegetarian diet are at greater risk of iron deficiency, due to the poor assimilation of non-heme iron.
FER de la gamme Essentiel provides a chelated form (bisglycinate) of iron which is more bioavailable than conventional forms (carbonates, sulfates).
What's more, this most assimilable form of iron doesn't cause the usual digestive discomforts often associated with this trace element (stomach upsets, constipation, nausea).
