Chelated Iron 29 mg - How it Works

Background

Essential to human life, iron plays the main role in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues due to its part in the production of hemoglobin. Iron deficiency is most often found in young, growing children, pregnant women, and the low-income elderly population. Clinically, iron deficiency is known as anemia. Different populations have different needs for iron:

1. Typically, babies, children, adolescents, pregnant women, pre-menopausal women, elderly (low income) and individuals with certain medical conditions are at risk for anemia.

2. Men over the age of twenty and post-menopausal women are two categories of the population that generally have little need for additional iron. For these folks, too much iron could increase their risk for heart disease.

In both situations, it is important to look at individual health risk and/or blood panels to determine whether additional iron supplementation is needed.
