What is Iron?
Contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, normal oxygen transport in the body, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal function of the immune system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Why Ferrous Gluconate?
Ferrous gluconate is an organic iron salt with good absorption rates and significantly less gastrointestinal irritation than ferrous sulphate — a critical advantage for daily long-term supplementation.
What are the benefits of Iron?
Oxygen transport
Iron is the central atom of haemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin in muscle — both proteins responsible for binding and transporting oxygen throughout the body.
Energy production
Iron is a cofactor for multiple enzymes in the mitochondrial respiratory chain and is essential for normal ATP synthesis. Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and supports normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Immune function
Iron is required for the proliferation and maturation of immune cells, including lymphocytes and neutrophils. Both deficiency and excess impair normal immune function.
