Why is oral iron important?

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin in your red blood cells and it carries oxygen from your lungs to every part of your body.

The most common nutritional disorder is iron deficiency anemia [IDA], and accounts for nearly half of all anemia cases. This is most prevalent among preschool children and women.

Your iron levels affect many vital functions in your body, including your energy and focus, gastrointestinal processes, your immune system and the regulation of your body temperature.

HemeBOOST helps to prevent iron deficiency and its anemia with lower side effects compared to traditional salt irons. (resource)

HemeBOOST contains naturally sourced of heme iron polypeptide, it does not require any further biochemical conversion in the body. (resource)

Oral iron supplements are often recommended for people to help treat or prevent symptoms of low iron and improve their blood levels of:
– Ferritin: a blood cell protein that contains iron and indicates how much iron your body stores.
– Hemoglobin: a protein molecule in red blood cells.

Two main types of iron

The iron that we consume in our daily diet and iron supplements may be categorized into two types based on their source of iron: non heme and heme iron.

Non heme iron is primarily sourced from plants. There are many varieties of non heme iron’s on the market made from salts such as ferric and ferrous salts. These products require conversion in the intestine before the iron can be absorbed. This process creates by-products which can lead to severe constipation and nausea.

Heme iron supplements such as HemeBOOST comes from meat and the iron is in the same form that is present in our own red blood cells. There is no absorption conversion required in the gut and thus no residual by-products that aggravate the intestine.
