Iron Essentials
Iron is a mineral essential for human health. Since the body can’t make iron, we have to get it from foods or supplements.
Iron is so reactive, it can degrade other supplement ingredients. That’s why BrainMD offers iron as a standalone supplement, in its best tolerated and best absorbed form: ferrous bisglycinate, Ferrochel®.
What’s Ferrochel?
Ferrochel is iron atoms bonded to molecules of the amino acid glycinate. Unlike iron sulfate and many other iron compounds used in iron supplements, this form of iron is very gentle on the stomach.
Benefits of Iron
Iron makes a wide range of essential contributions to our health and survival. Though iron’s main benefits are typically linked to hemoglobin, it does a great deal more for our health.
Iron is necessary for our cells’ mitochondria to make life energy. It also assists the body’s capacity to process and dispose of toxic substances. Another function of iron is that it assists with the production of DNA and helps regulate it within our genes.
Who Should Take Iron?
Iron deficiency afflicts 2 billion of the world’s population and is an issue even in developed countries. Supplementation with a clean form of iron is necessary for growing children (under parental supervision), pregnant or lactating women, the elderly, and others who may not be optimally nourished. BrainMD’s Iron is suitable for vegans.
Important Notes About Iron
Taking an iron supplement is not recommended unless blood testing shows iron deficiency.
WARNING: Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. Keep this product out of reach of children. In case of accidental overdose, call a doctor or poison control center immediately.
