The Importance of Iron for Your Health

Iron is an essential mineral that plays central roles in energy production, immune system function, and neurological health. It's no wonder that iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in the world. According to the World Health Organization, iron deficiency affects more than 2 billion people around the globe.

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, a molecule that transports oxygen to the cells of the body. It's also found in myoglobin, which binds oxygen used in muscle tissues. The vast majority of our iron stores are found in hemoglobin. For this reason, iron deficiency can lead to anemia, a condition characterized by fatigue and poor circulation. Symptoms of iron deficiency can also include difficulty concentrating, decreased immunity, and irregular heartbeat. Women who are pregnant or menstruating are especially at risk for iron deficiency due to blood loss.

NOW uses Iron Taste Free™ Ferric Glycinate, which has clinically demonstrated superior absorption and is well tolerated because it is gentle and non-constipating.* This formulation contains Albion® Ferrous Glycinate chelate, a highly bioavailable form of iron that is gentle on the stomach.* Clinical studies have shown that ferrous glycinate chelate is significantly better absorbed than other forms of iron such as ferrous sulfate.* Non-constipating formula.* Suitable for vegetarians/vegans. *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
