Safe Supplemental Iron Bisglycinate for Healthy Red Blood Cells

Adequate iron is vital for properly oxygenated blood, muscle function, thyroid function, and growth.* Athletes, children, women, and elderly individuals have higher needs, although any person with muscle fatigue may be lacking in iron. A special iron-containing protein in muscles called myoglobulin holds oxygen in muscle. If it is low, muscles are prone to running out of energy too soon.*

We do not recommend low quality forms of iron, such as ferrous sulfate, which can induce free radical damage and germ growth in the digestive tract. Ferrous sulfate can "break up" in the blood, is only 3% absorbed, and cause digestive problems. Iron bisglycinate is a far superior and safe iron form.* It is the form of iron we use in Blood BuilderTM.

Iron is the backbone nutrient for enhancing the building of oxygenated blood. Vitamins B6, B12, and folic acid are also needed to make healthy blood. Lacking any one of these three vitamins can cause red blood cells not to form properly. Blood BuilderTM contains highly superior coenzyme forms of these nutrients. Since these special B-vitamins are already pre-energized, they require no contribution of body energy to make them work, which is a huge issue if a person is already fatigued from poor iron status.*

Iron has recently been identified as a key nutrient in cells that enables thyroid/ zinc gene signals to function in metabolic pathways. A lack of iron inside cells may reduce up to 80 different gene signals that would otherwise be following "thyroid instructions." A lack of iron may handicap metabolism and cause metabolic fatigue.*

Iron for Pregnancy

Any woman considering pregnancy should consider Blood BuilderTM when preparing for pregnancy and during pregnancy. Not only does this vitamin supplement contain the most effective form of iron bisglycinate, it also contains significant amounts of folic acid and B12, important nutrients for healthy pregnancy.* Also see: Daily Prenatal Multi VitaminTM

Women & Lack of Iron

Iron is an essential nutrient for any woman in child bearing years. The blood loss experienced during menstruation is another reason to consider taking the Blood BuilderTM. Women with heavy blood flow or who notice significant fatigue during or the week following their menstrual cycle frequently feel a much better energy level taking 1-2 Blood Builder a day.
