Iron Citrate 25mg, Swanson, 60 Capsules 60 Days

Product Introduction:

**Iron Citrate – Effective Support for Hemoglobin and Energy Levels**

Iron is an essential component of hemoglobin, responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body. Low iron stores can lead to fatigue, weakness, shortness of breath, pale skin, heart palpitations, dizziness, irritability, and in severe cases, chest pain due to iron deficiency anemia.

**Iron Needs and Role in the Body:**

- **Blood Formation:** Iron is necessary for the synthesis of hemoglobin and myoglobin, and it participates in transporting oxygen from the lungs to the tissues.
- **Energy Production:** Iron plays a role in ATP (adenosine triphosphate) production, the primary energy carrier in cells.
- **Immune System Support:** It helps neutralize foreign substances in the body, boosting resistance to stress and diseases.
- **Reducing Fatigue:** Iron supplementation can help reduce fatigue and increase energy levels.

**Iron Deficiency:**

Iron deficiency is common today, especially among women of childbearing age, pregnant women, older adults, and children. Excessive consumption of dairy products can also lead to iron deficiency, as calcium and the milk protein casein reduce iron absorption.

**Sources of Iron:**

- **Animal Sources:** Meat, with iron that is absorbed at rates of 15-35%.
- **Plant Sources:** Cereals, with iron absorbed at rates of 2-20%. Vitamin C helps improve the absorption of plant-based iron.
