DESCRIPTION

Chelated iron is a nutritionally functional iron amino acid

chelate with documented high bioavailability, excellent

tolerability, and low toxicity.

FUNCTIONS

Iron is one of the most abundant metals in the universe. It

is also one of the most useful in biochemical functions. In

the human body, iron is present in all cells and has several

vital functions-as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the

lungs in the form of hemoglobin (Hb), as a facilitator of

oxygen use and storage in the muscles as myoglobin, as a

transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of

cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in

various tissues. Too little iron can interfere with these vital

functions and lead to morbidity and mortality. Iron plays a role

in hundreds of enzymatic reactions including those involving

neurotransmitter synthesis, energy production, collagen

synthesis, antioxidant support and nitric oxide synthesis.

Low iron levels in the blood are the most common and most

prevalent mineral deficiency. Iron deficiency can be a very

difficult diagnosis, since the symptoms such as lethargy,

tiredness and dizziness, are non-specific and can be found in

a variety of ailments. However, people who are most at risk,

including menstruating and pregnant women, athletes, and

vegetarians may have difficulty getting adequate iron supplies

from their food sources alone. Chelated forms of iron have

been shown in studies to be better absorbed and lead to higher

blood and tissue iron levels without some of the common GI

associated side effects.

INDICATIONS

Chelated iron may be a useful dietary supplement for

individuals wishing to supplement their diet with iron.
