Vitakruid Iron bisglycinate complex
In brief:
- Biologically available form of iron bisglycinate
- Always supplement iron and copper together
- Scientifically substantiated cofactors
- Supplementing every other day prevents unfavorable bacterial growth
- Preventing hepcidin increases ensures better iron absorption
Description:
Biologically available form of iron bisglycinate
Bisglycinate is the most bioavailable form of iron. The structure of an amino acid chelate is so strong that our gastric juice cannot split it. This is due to the amino acids in the chelate form, which act as a protective layer for the iron. The iron bisglycinate therefore reaches our intestines as a complete element, where our body then absorbs it. Moreover, we know from iron supplementation that it can sometimes be unpleasant for the stomach and intestines. However, due to the amino acid chelated nature of iron bisglycinate, such complaints remain limited!
Always supplement iron and copper together
Balance is the word on which the effectiveness of our mineral balance is based. As if on a scale, the different elements in our body are continuously weighed. The minerals we know have various connections with each other. For example, iron and copper have a so-called double-sided antagonistic effect. In regular Dutch, this means that an increased iron intake can lead to a reduced copper level and vice versa. To prevent reduced copper levels and support iron transport, our Iron Bisglycinate Complex contains 50 mcg of copper in the easily absorbable form of gluconate per tablet.
Scientifically substantiated cofactors
Three supporting nutrients have been added to our Iron Bisglycinate Complex. In addition, inadequate riboflavin levels (vitamin B2) often occur together with reduced iron metabolism. Furthermore, vitamin C, the nutrient we usually associate with immunity, promotes the absorption of iron from food. After which the resistance vitamin also ensures a higher iron content in our blood, the place where we need this valuable mineral. Due to its double effect, an addition of 200 mg vitamin C also seemed to be a good defense!
Supplementing every other day prevents unfavorable bacterial growth
However, taking an iron tablet three times a day for weeks to months can lead to stomach and intestinal discomfort. Even with the system-friendly iron bisglycinate. Recent research has shown what exactly causes this. The small intestine only absorbs fifteen percent of the iron consumed. The vast majority ends up in the large intestine, where the mineral stimulates the growth of unfavorable bacteria that cause complaints. The low iron absorption in the small intestine is related to the hormone hepcidin. When the release of the hormone into the blood decreases, iron absorption in the small intestine increases and vice versa. Research even shows that the liver releases more hepcidin up to 48 hours after taking an iron tablet, which results in impaired iron absorption in the small intestine. Supplementing iron once every two days offers a solution for iron-related intestinal discomfort!
Preventing hepcidin increases ensures better iron absorption
Intestinal discomfort is not the only problem we relate to daily iron supplementation. The higher hepcidin concentrations that arise after taking an iron tablet have another adverse effect. An increased release of the hormone limits the incorporation of iron into the red blood cell for about two days. In other words, after supplementation with the mineral, the iron tablets taken appear to be less effective in the 48 hours that follow. Research shows that most iron reaches the bone marrow, and thus the red blood cells, when supplemented every other day in a dosage of 40-80 mg.
- Iron supports the production of red blood cells, is good for normal oxygen transport in the body and contributes to the production of cells and tissues
- Iron and copper have a beneficial effect on normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Iron and vitamin B2 are good for tiredness and fatigue
- Iron, copper, vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C have a positive influence on the immune system
- Copper supports iron transport in the body
- Vitamin A and vitamin B2 promote the availability of iron from body stores and are therefore beneficial for iron metabolism
- Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron and therefore increases the iron level in the blood
