General information
Iron is an essential mineral that helps with the transportation of oxygen throughout the body. Red blood cells get their color for the substance called hemoglobin, and iron is an important component of that substance. Therefore, iron is important for healthy blood cells that carry oxygen from your lungs and supply it to the rest of your body. Because of its function in oxygen transport it also supports normal cognitive functions.
It also important for energy metabolism and can help to lessen fatigue.
The advantages of a liposomal iron
The advantages of liposomal iron are two fold, one being that the iron is much better absorbed in the cells. And another big advantage is that being enclosed in the fatty liposome balls means that the iron doesn’t influence the stomach or intestinal tract. This prevents the common side effects of iron supplementation such as nausea and constipation.
Vitamin C has been added to this formula to improve the iron absorption. Vitamin B 12 has been added as it is also important for the formation of red blood cells. This product has an active vitamin B 12 in it, methylcobalamin.
