The Importance of Iron

Iron is an essential mineral that plays central roles in energy production, immune system function, and neurological health.* Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, a molecule that transports oxygen to the cells of the body, and myoglobin, which binds oxygen used in muscle tissues.* NOW uses Ferrochel™ Iron Bisglycinate, which has clinically demonstrated superior absorption and is well tolerated because it is gentle and non-constipating.*

What are the roles of iron in the body?

As mentioned before, iron plays a vital role in many bodily functions including but not limited to energy production, immune system function, and neurological health. It does this by binding to oxygen and transporting it throughout the body. Not only that, but iron is also a key component in hemoglobin and myoglobin. Hemoglobin is a molecule that helps transport oxygen in the blood while myoglobin is responsible for binding oxygen in muscle tissues.

How can I make sure I'm getting enough iron?

There are many ways to ensure you are getting enough iron. The best way to do this is by incorporating foods rich in iron into your diet such as red meat, dark leafy greens, legumes, and fortified cereals. You can also take supplements like NOW's Ferrochel™ Iron Bisglycinate which has clinically demonstrated superior absorption.
