Iron is a valuable trace element that is important and vital for many bodily functions. The body needs iron, in particular, for blood formation and oxygen transport. An inadequate supply of iron to the body can lead to various deficiency symptoms and metabolic disorders.

The plant-based iron from curry leaf extract contained in Phytoferrin naturally supports the body's iron supply, especially when iron needs are increased. Vitamin C from rosehip fruit extract ensures optimal iron absorption.

Iron in the body

Iron is crucial for energy metabolism in the body, as it participates in blood formation and supports cell formation. As a component of the blood pigment hemoglobin, iron binds the oxygen that enters the body via the lungs and transports it to the cells, where it is used to generate energy. This trace element also enables the storage of oxygen in the muscles and the transfer of electrons in energy metabolism.

Iron…

• Contributes to normal energy metabolism.
• Supports the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.

Iron deficiency

A lack of iron in the body can be noticeable through the following symptoms:

• Tiredness, fatigue
• Paleness
• Hair loss
• Brittle nails
• Dry skin
• Chapped corners of the mouth
• Susceptibility to infection

Iron requirements

According to the DGE (German Nutrition Society), men need an average of about 10 milligrams of iron per day and women about 15 milligrams, with women's iron requirements being increased during pregnancy, after childbirth and during menstruation.

Just like an iron deficiency, an excess of iron is bad for the body and can even lead to organ damage. Therefore, iron supplements should not be taken long-term. It is best to have your iron levels checked regularly by a doctor.

Absorption of iron

Iron absorption in the body can vary greatly. Some foods, even though they are very rich in iron (e.g., grains, legumes, and soy products), can inhibit absorption. Therefore, foods containing vitamin C should be combined with these foods to improve absorption. Coffee and some types of tea can also inhibit iron absorption.
