The Many Benefits of Doctor's Best High Absorption Iron with Ferrochel™

Did you know that iron is an essential mineral that helps in the production of normal red blood cells? It's true! What's more, iron is an important component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout the body. Not only that, but iron also plays a role in the metabolism of folic acid, which is important for fetal nervous system development. Given all these important functions, it's no wonder that iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia.

Fortunately, there is a good way to get the iron your body needs. Doctor's Best High Absorption Iron with Ferrochel™ contains chelated iron to help increase bioavailability. Chelation helps iron to be optimally absorbed by our body, and is well-tolerated by the digestive system. What's more, Ferrochel™ Iron is chelated with bisglycinate amino acids, providing high absorption and increased tolerability. So if you're looking for a good way to get the iron your body needs, look no further than Doctor's Best High Absorption Iron with Ferrochel™!

How Iron Deficiency Occurs

There are many reasons why someone might become iron deficient. For example, women of childbearing age are at increased risk because they lose blood during menstruation. Pregnant women are also at increased risk because they need extra iron for their developing baby. And people with gastrointestinal disorders such as celiac disease or Crohn's disease may absorb less iron from their diet. Whatever the reason, if you're not getting enough iron in your diet, you may become deficient.

The Signs and Symptoms of Iron Deficiency Anemia

If you're iron deficient, you may develop what's known as iron deficiency anemia. This condition can cause fatigue, pallor (paleness), shortness of breath, dizziness, and more. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's important to see your doctor so they can order a blood test to check your level of iron.

What You Can Do About It

If you are diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia, there are things you can do about it. For example, you may need to take an oral iron supplement or receive injections of iron into your muscles. You may also need to eat foods that are high in iron such as meat, poultry, fish, dark leafy greens, beans, and fortified foods. In some cases, a blood transfusion may be necessary. However, before starting any kind of treatment, it’s important to speak with your doctor so they can determine what’s best for you.

In Summary:

Iron plays a vital role in our bodies, yet many people are deficient in this important mineral. If you think you might be deficient in iron—or if you have been diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia—there are things you can do about it. You may need to take supplements or injectable forms of iron or make changes to your diet. Taking an iron supplement can help prevent deficiency's.
