Iron is essential for the formation and normal function of healthy red blood cells and is required for the efficient transport of oxygen throughout the body. Maintaining adequate iron intake is therefore important for individuals whose dietary intake or circumstances can increase their risk of inadequate iron.
Who May Have Increased Iron Requirements?
According to Thorne, individuals who can be more prone to iron deficiency include:
- Women of menstruating age
- Individuals following vegetarian or vegan diets
- Frequent blood donors
- Individuals who have undergone gastric bypass surgery
- People consuming very high-fibre diets, which can inhibit iron absorption
- Individuals recovering from blood loss following injury or surgery
- Performance athletes with additional risk factors
- Signs Associated with Iron Deficiency
Thorne identifies several signs that can occur with iron deficiency, including:
- Fatigue or weakness
- Shortness of breath
- Pale skin
- Cold hands and feet
- Feeling lightheaded or dizzy
- Changes in menstrual cycles
- Decreased athletic performance
These symptoms can have many causes, so iron supplementation should not be used to self-diagnose iron deficiency.
Why Iron Bisglycinate?
Conventional forms of supplemental iron, including ferrous sulfate, can be associated with gastrointestinal effects such as nausea, constipation, diarrhoea and stomach discomfort.
Thorne Iron Bisglycinate provides iron reacted with glycine to create a chelated form of iron designed for optimal absorption in the gastrointestinal tract while minimising typical GI side effects associated with iron supplementation.
Each capsule provides 25 mg of elemental iron as Ferrochel® iron bisglycinate chelate, giving individuals who require supplemental iron a well-absorbed alternative to conventional iron formulations.
