IRON GLYCINATE 60 VEGETABLE CAPSULES/JAR

Iron glycinate – is an organic source of chelated iron, which ensures easy absorption. After oral administration, the compound enters unchanged into enterocytes, where it is hydrolyzed into iron and glycine. Therefore, no free iron molecules are formed in the gastrointestinal tract. The absence of contact of non-ionized iron with the gastric mucosa keeps any possible side effects to a minimum.

Iron is a part of hemoglobin, which helps to transport oxygen from the lungs to body tissues in order to maintain basic vital functions of the body. If the level of hemoglobin is low, a person cannot receive enough oxygen, thus causing the loss of energy, feeling tired and exhausted.

This dietary mineral is also required for the creation and growth of immune cells. Iron deficiency reduces the ability of the immune system to fight infections.

In addition, iron takes part in the formation of DNA and red blood cells. It is also a part of more than 70 enzymes involved in the respiration of cells and tissues, participates in metabolism, synthesizes the thyroid hormones, and balances the nervous system.

Besides, the mineral is important for the supply of brain with oxygen and improvement of cognitive functions. Iron promotes blood flow to the brain, helping it to create new nerve pathways for preventing any cognitive disorders, such as dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Iron is necessary to convert the food energy into ATP (adenosine triphosphoric acid), which is the main source of energy for the body. Low iron level means that less ATP is produced, and its deficiency leads to the rapid fatigue.
