Description
Iron, a component of hemoglobin in red blood cells and myoglobin in muscles, is integral to the delivery of oxygen to tissues. Additionally, iron plays an important role in mitochondrial energy production and is required for the synthesis of thyroid hormone. Vegetarians, women of child-bearing age and endurance athletes are all groups that are at a heightened risk for iron deficiency. Ferrochel® Iron amino acid chelate is a highly bioavailable form of iron that is non-constipating and reduces the occurrence of stomach upset.
