Iron is a key nutrient that your body needs to make hemoglobin – a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body. An iron deficiency can result in fatigue, irritability, paleness and difficulty concentrating. A BETTER FORM OF IRON; Recent clinical studies indicate that ferrous glycinate, the form of iron found in Iron Plus is absorbed significantly better than regular iron – as much as 4.5 times better, in fact. Unlike some other forms of iron, ferrous glycinate was demonstrated to be well absorbed even when taken with a meal. Many people find prescription or regular forms of iron constipating. Iron Plus contains ferrous glycinate, a form of iron that has been demonstrated in clinical trials to be well tolerated, with a low incidence of constipation and stomach upset. Ferrous glycinate more readily absorbed in the small intestine, farther away from the gastric acidity of the duodenum. The absorption of iron is aided by ascorbic acid, “pushing” iron through the cell membrane of the small intestine. SCIENTIFICALLY BACKED FOR BEST RESULTS: Each ingredient in Iron Plus is scientifically back to produce the desired outcome.
