Iron chelate + Vitamin B9, 60 capsules

Product detailed description

No more fatigue, drowsiness and long-term lack of energy, the cause of which is often a lack of iron in the blood. Iron deficiency affects many women and is a common problem for people on a plant-based diet, because iron from plant sources is difficult for our bodies to absorb.

The chelated form of iron with folic acid has excellent bioavailability. In addition, it is gentle on our body and usually does not cause the typical constipation. 

You can be sure that this dietary supplement does not contain any unnecessary additives or chemical additives.

WHY ARE THEY ESSENTIAL FOR US?

Iron

This element is absolutely indispensable for our body. It is used in a large number of biochemical processes. These include, above all, the transport of oxygen through the red blood pigment hemoglobin. It is also part of complex enzymatic reactions related to energy metabolism.

Iron deficiency in the blood leads to anemia - sideropenic anemia, the symptoms of which include weakness, fatigue, dizziness, chills, loss of appetite, digestive problems, sleep disorders and headaches. A person who is deficient in iron is typically pale. They may also experience hair loss, dry skin, and brittle nails. Problems with low blood pressure are also common.

In women, the main cause of iron deficiency is heavy menstruation. If this also applies to you, monitor your blood count in cooperation with your doctor. 

Folic acid

Vitamin B9, or folic acid, plays a crucial role in many vital processes in the body, including the metabolism of amino acids and the nucleic acids DNA and RNA. Therefore, it is very important in the early stages of pregnancy. when, for example, the nervous system is formed. A lack of this vitamin during pregnancy can cause many complications in fetal development.

Folic acid is also involved in blood formation. Therefore, its deficiency can cause a specific type of anemia – megaloblastic anemia. This is manifested by pale skin, fatigue and general weakness. 

Folic acid deficiency is also manifested by loss of appetite and poor growth. And it can even be a factor in hair loss or skin problems.

HEALTH EFFECTS

Iron and folic acid work synergistically.

Together they contribute to normal hematopoiesis, the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin, normal oxygen transport in the body, normal function of the immune system and contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 

Iron: 

• Contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
• Contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body. 
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system. 
• It contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion. 
• Iron is involved in the process cell division.
  
• Contributes to normal energy metabolism. 
  
  

Folic acid:

• Contributes to normal blood formation.
• Contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.
• Contributes to normal mental activity.
• Contributes to the normal function of the immune system.
• It contributes to reducing fatigue and exhaustion.
• It contributes to the growth of embryonic tissues during pregnancy. 

A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE SPECIAL FORM OF THIS FOOD SUPPLEMENT

Iron (ferrous bisglycinate) in organic chelate form has higher bioavailability than other (inorganic) forms of iron in dietary supplements. The chelated form of iron is usually very well tolerated by the human body. As is known, iron supplementation often leads to constipation. Chelated iron causes this very rarely. 

Folic acid can also be found under the name vitamin B9 or folate. Folic acid itself has no biological effects of its own. Only its metabolites, produced by enzymatic conversion in the liver, which are collectively called folates, are biologically active.

It is in this supplement that we find folic acid in the form of active folate – specifically Quatrefolic®. This is the newest form of active folic acid, which, unlike other older forms, is characterized by high stability and solubility in water. It can pass through the stomach barrier into the small intestine, so it reaches the body in higher doses. Our body can use it directly, even in women with a disorder in folic acid metabolism (so-called MTHFR mutation).

WHO IS THIS DIETARY SUPPLEMENT SUITABLE FOR?

• for women in general, especially during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding
• for children, adolescents and seniors
• for vegetarians and vegans
• for athletes
• for blood donors
• for people suffering from iron and folic acid deficiency anemia
• for those who find conventional iron supplements constipating or unpalatable

WHY CHOOSE THE CHELATE FORM OF MINERALS?

Most common vitamin and mineral supplements in powder or tablet form are not sufficiently absorbed by our body. During transport, they are broken down in the digestive tract by enzymes and gastric juices. And so only a small percentage of the active substance reaches its destination. 

The chelated form of minerals significantly improves absorption. Minerals in this form are much more natural for the body and are better absorbed than commonly sold inorganic forms of minerals. The body can benefit much more from the chelated form of minerals.

What is its specificity? 

A chelate represents the binding of one mineral to two amino acids (or organic acids). This special organic form of minerals appears in nature, for example in plant leaves. The absorption of amino acids is completely natural for the body, so the absorption of chelates also occurs without any problems. In addition, chelated minerals (unlike regular minerals) do not irritate the mucous membrane of the stomach and intestines during digestion.  

Benefits of Chelated Minerals

• Higher usability and absorbability compared to conventional inorganic forms. 
• Does not irritate the stomach and intestinal mucosa like common minerals 
• No aftertaste, long shelf life and purity (no additives) 

Why prefer loose minerals in capsules?

Mineral dietary supplements are produced in bulk and liquid form. What are the advantages of powder-filled capsules over the more popular liquid form? 

• Powder capsules are easily portable, suitable for travel and convenient to use. The loose form of our minerals is just pure powder without additives. Of course, it does not contain any fillers, preservatives or inactive ingredients.  
• Powder packaged in a capsule lasts much longer. Unlike liquid supplements, which must be consumed quickly after opening, the powder form has a longer shelf life and is more stable.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Recommended dosage:

• Take 1 capsule daily with water. Best taken in the morning, half an hour before meals or 2 hours after meals.
• It is advisable to take it together with vitamin C or vitamin B12.  

Contraindication:  

• Iron reduces the absorption of the antibiotic tetracycline. For this reason, they should not be taken simultaneously and a break of at least four hours is recommended. Consult your doctor.
• If you consume foods high in fiber (e.g. whole grain bread), foods high in calcium (especially dairy products), and beverages containing caffeine (especially coffee and black tea), we recommend an interval of approximately 2 hours between taking an iron supplement. These foods bind iron, reducing its absorption.
