Description
Bluegrass Naturals Vitamin Company – Gentle Iron Chelate
This product made with vegetarian formula, is well-tolerated and non-constipating and has been designed to maximize iron absorption and utilization by the body.
Features & Benefits:
- Ferrochel Iron: Ferrochel is a branded form of iron that is known for its high bioavailability, meaning it can be efficiently absorbed and utilized by the body. Iron is essential for the formation of hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Adequate iron levels are crucial for preventing anemia and maintaining overall health.
- Co-nutrients: The product includes essential co-nutrients like vitamin B-12, folate (a form of vitamin B9), and vitamin C. These vitamins play important roles in red blood cell production and iron absorption:
- Vitamin B-12: Necessary for the production and maturation of red blood cells.
- Folate (Vitamin B9): Also important for red blood cell production.
- Vitamin C: Enhances iron absorption from the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which can be particularly helpful when taking iron supplements.
- Complementary Botanicals: The mention of “complementary botanicals” suggests that the product may include plant-based ingredients that could offer additional health benefits or support the absorption and utilization of the included nutrients. These botanicals could vary depending on the specific formulation and brand of the product.
- Vegetarian Formula: The product is labeled as a vegetarian formula, indicating that it does not contain animal-derived ingredients and is suitable for individuals following a vegetarian or plant-based diet.
- Non-constipating: Iron supplements are sometimes associated with constipation as a side effect. This product is advertised as “non-constipating,” which suggests that it is designed to be gentle on the digestive system and less likely to cause constipation, a common concern with iron supplementation.
- Maximized Iron Absorption: The product is designed to maximize the absorption and utilization of iron by the body. This could involve the combination of iron with vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption, and the use of a highly bioavailable iron form like Ferrochel.
