Barcode: 693749003458

Iron is important for the formation and function of healthy red blood cells.* An adequate amount of dietary iron is needed by blood cells to effectively transport oxygen throughout the body. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to 16 percent of people in some population groups are iron deficient.

 People who may be at risk of iron deficiency include:
Women of menstrual age
Individuals who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet
Frequent blood donors
Individuals who have undergone gastric bypass surgery
Individuals who consume a diet very high in fiber, which can interfere with iron absorption
Individuals recovering from blood loss, such as from injury or surgery
High-performing athletes who have any of the additional risk factors listed above
 
Signs of iron deficiency:
Fatigue or weakness
Shortness of breath
Pale skin
Cold hands and feet
Feeling dizzy or lightheaded
Changes in menstrual cycles
Decreased athletic performance
 
Iron is difficult for the body to absorb, and taking common forms of iron, including iron sulfate, can cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark stools.
