Best quality and compatibility

A vital trace element

Iron is the most common trace element in the human body. Trace elements are substances that can only be found in small amounts in relation to the total concentration in the human organism. Iron plays a key role in transporting oxygen via the red blood pigment hemoglobin. A number of foods naturally contain iron. The largest proportion is found in animal foods, especially in offal such as liver. In addition, oat bran and oat flakes, linseed, sesame, pumpkin seeds and legumes contain the trace element.

iron requirement

About 1 mg of iron per day is required. Due to the lower absorption of the iron present in food, it is recommended to consume 10-15 mg of the trace element daily. For pregnant and breastfeeding women, the recommendations range between 20 and 30 mg per day. In children, a requirement value for intake of 8 mg to 10 mg per day is assumed. It should also be noted that women have higher iron losses due to menstrual bleeding. Therefore, depending on their life situation, they also have to take in more iron. Various other individual diseases and disorders can further impede iron absorption in the body or lead to increased loss and thus greater iron requirements.

The focus here is on chronic inflammation, functional disorders of the kidneys, Crohn's disease and other chronic inflammatory bowel diseases as well as celiac disease. Some cancers can also lead to reduced iron levels. Excessive iron levels can manifest themselves in diarrhoea, nausea and indigestion, among other things. In this context, a rare hereditary iron utilization disorder should also be considered. Anyone suffering from hemochromatosis absorbs too much iron through the intestines. The excess trace element then accumulates in various organs.

Determination of the iron level in the human body

Iron is stored in different places in the body. Therefore, the iron value is measured at four different parts of the body. The so-called Hb value shows the amount of hemoglobin – this is the red blood pigment – in the blood. Hemoglobin levels drop when iron stores are depleted. The second value is the so-called serum ferritin value. This is about the actual iron store. This value is already indicated when iron stores begin to empty.

Since inflammation has an impact on iron utilization in the human body, the C-reactive protein must also be measured when determining the iron value. In the case of inflammation, iron can no longer escape from the iron stores. The fourth value is the transferrin saturation value. The point here is to what percentage the transporters in the blood are loaded with iron. The saturation value decreases with an iron deficiency and is not influenced by inflammation.

The functions of iron in the human body

The trace element iron is involved in cell formation and cell respiration. We take in oxygen through the lungs. With the help of the trace element, the oxygen in the red blood cells is coupled to the red blood pigment hemoglobin. With the blood flow, oxygen can be distributed throughout the body. Cells use iron to generate energy. This process is particularly intense in the muscles.

There is a special muscle hemoglobin. It is called myoglobin and binds the trace element even more effectively than the rest of the hemoglobin. The formation of the red blood pigment hemoglobin itself depends on iron. Overall, the trace element is bound to many essential functions in the human organism. Our well-being and our performance depend on this trace element.

Vitamin C supports the absorption of iron in the human body. On the other hand, other substances such as calcium, oxalic acid in spinach or rhubarb, roughage, certain substances in coffee and black tea and the phytic acid contained in legumes and cereals inhibit the absorption of the trace element. Due to these obstacles in the absorption of iron, people only absorb about 10-15% of the absolute value of the trace element contained in corresponding foods with their diet.

functions and effects

The trace element is involved in the following functions:

wears iron

for the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin,
to normal cognitive function,
to a normal energy metabolism,
to normal oxygen transport in the body,
to a normal function of the immune system,
to reduce tiredness and fatigue,
for the normal cognitive development of children

at.

In addition, iron has a function in cell division.

iron deficiency symptoms

Specific diets such as vegans and vegetarians can cause an iron deficiency. Pregnant women and growing children may have higher iron requirements. Iron deficiency usually expresses itself unspecifically with tiredness, exhaustion, a reduced body temperature and a susceptibility to infections. An intense iron deficiency is referred to as anemia or iron deficiency anemia.

A potential iron deficiency is often not discovered until late because the symptoms are initially so non-specific. This also means that the iron stores are often completely empty at this point. After that, it may take some time to refill them. Prevention can therefore be an important issue when it comes to iron deficiency.

High quality products

We have various iron products ready for you. The trace element is sensibly combined with other valuable micronutrients.

Iron & Vitamin C Capsules

Vitamin C and iron work together synergistically. Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron in the human body. Here you will find valuable vitamin C from the acerola cherry and amla. Iron is obtained for this preparation from the iron-rich curry plant. This means that all the ingredients in this product come from plant sources, which are combined in a unique, innovative product formulation. The premium quality is regularly confirmed by a renowned German testing institute.

Vitamin C has the following functions, among others:

It increases iron absorption.

carries vitamin C

contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, gums, skin, teeth and cartilage function.
contribute to a normal function of the immune system.
contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism.
contribute to normal mental function.
help protect cells from oxidative stress.
contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

iron chelated

Iron in chelated form is particularly easy for the human organism to utilize and tolerate. The absorption of the trace element is also supported in this product by vitamin C from the acerola cherry.

Iron with vitamin C from acerola directly

Iron is processed in this product with vitamin C from the acerola cherry in a particularly practical and stomach-friendly formulation in granular form in a direct stick. This means that the vegan product can be easily consumed anytime, anywhere. The granules taste fruity and delicious like currants.

Iron mineral complex from buckwheat

This high-quality product combines the valuable trace element iron with other trace elements such as chromium and molybdenum. The added vitamin C, which comes from buckwheat, improves iron absorption in the body. The product consists of 100% buckwheat germ powder. It therefore offers a particularly natural and high-quality way of supplying yourself with iron and other trace elements. The germ of a plant is particularly valuable because it is very rich in vital substances. This is also the case with buckwheat.

Molybdenum contributes to the normal metabolism of sulphur-containing amino acids.
Chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism and the maintenance of normal blood sugar levels.
