It's surprising that, among all nutrients, iron is the one North American women are most deficient in. 35-58% of healthy young women experience some level of low iron and the number increases slightly during pregnancy. Fatigue, weakened immune system and altered brain activity are all symptoms of iron deficiency. By the time you receive an anemia diagnosis, your iron levels may be in the danger zone.
Low iron means your body doesn’t make enough healthy red blood cells to deliver oxygen from your lungs to your body’s tissues. About 70 percent of the body's iron is contained in the blood as hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that transports and delivers oxygen to the body's tissues for their survival. Myoglobin, a protein found in the heart and skeletal muscles, also needs iron to function efficiently. Iron is required for several key enzymes to aid in energy production and metabolism, particularly in building DNA.
Taking a daily iron supplement is a quick and easy way to pump up the body’s reserves, but not all supplements are free of uncomfortable side effects like constipation, diarrhea, stomach upset and nausea. CanPrev’s Liquid Iron Bis-Glycinate 20 contains iron bis-glycinate, an easy-to-absorb chelated iron, that’s gentle on the stomach and does not cause gastrointestinal upset like those containing ferrous sulphate can.
This liquid formula contains 20mg of elemental iron in every tablespoon, and is fortified with vitamins C, B6, B12 and folate, all cofactors that aid in the absorption and assimilation of iron for healthy red blood cell production.
