Description
This Iron Bisglycinate supplement from G&G Vitamins provides a high dose of 50mg per vegan capsule. Iron is essential for red blood cell formation and for the prevention of iron-deficiency anaemia.
Iron is required for the body's natural production of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and certain enzymes. As well as being responsible for the formation of blood cells, iron helps transport oxygen around the body, aids cell division and plays a role in the immune system.
Low levels of iron can result in iron-deficiency anaemia. Women are at greater risk than men of iron deficiency, because of the blood loss that results from menstruation. Vegans and vegetarians are also at risk of iron deficiency, especially if plant sources of iron are not consumed regularly.
This iron supplement contains the bisglycinate form of iron, which is highly bioavailable to the body after ingestion. Unlike other forms of iron supplements, the bisgylinate form does not cause unwanted gastrointestinal side effects.
Directions
Take 1 capsule daily with a main meal or as directed by a healthcare professional.
