Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from your lungs to transport it throughout your body. When your body does not have enough iron, your body cannot make enough healthy oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Myoglobin, a protein in the heart and skeletal muscles, also requires iron for efficient function. Iron is also needed for several vital enzymes to assist in energy production, metabolism, and DNA construction.
Out of all the nutrients, North American women are most commonly iron deficient. In fact, 35 to 58 percent of young, healthy females experience some degree of low iron levels. The number slightly increases during pregnancy. Common symptoms of iron deficiency include fatigue, impaired brain activity, and a weakened immune system when diagnosed with anemia, and iron levels could potentially be in the danger zone.
Taking a daily iron supplement like CanPrev’s Iron Bis-Glycinate is a quick and convenient way to pump up your iron levels. CanPrev Iron Bis-Glycinate formula is made from a chelated iron that is easy to absorb. It is incredibly gentle on the stomach and does not cause gastrointestinal upset. Other iron supplements, which contain ferrous sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal disturbances, constipation, diarrhea, upset stomach, and nausea.
