Liposomal Iron - Capsules (90 Count/90 Servings)
Iron is an essential mineral obtained through diet, but most abundant in animal based foods like red meat.
Most of the body's iron is found in red blood cells where it is part of hemoglobin, the iron containing protein that carries oxygen in our blood.
Iron is also part of myoglobin, a similar protein that carries oxygen in muscle cells. In addition, iron is also an integral part of enzymatic reaction in mitochondria where metabolism and energy production occurs.
Iron deficiency is a leading cause of anemia, meaning low red blood cell counts which decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood. It manifests as fatigue with minimal exertion, depression and even impaired ability to think.
Those at risk of developing iron deficiency are individuals who have had recent bleeding, surgery (especially weight loss procedures), pregnant women, women with heavy menstrual bleeding, individuals with chronic illness like kidney disease, individuals with celiac and with inflammatory bowel disease like Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's disease.
