Solgar Chelated Iron
You pump iron at the gym, iron out the details for your weekend plans, and rule with an iron fist at the office. Ever notice just how many iron idioms make their way into our daily dialogue? It’s a good reminder that iron is important! In fact, it’s one of the most important nutrients for overall wellness. But the truth is, low iron intake and low iron levels are incredibly common. If you’re feeling fatigued, just can’t muster up much energy, have a tough time staying focused or seem to get sick all…the…time, you may need more iron in your life. For lots of us, however, we don’t always notice the signs of low iron. You may find out during routine bloodwork. But just because you haven’t noticed anything obvious doesn’t mean iron isn’t playing a big role in how you feel day to day. And that’s exactly why it’s important to consume an optimal amount of iron each and every day. Taking a supplement like Solgar Chelated Iron helps you do just that. It helps support healthy iron levels already within the normal range and supports red blood cell formation.* Plus, it’s formulated with iron in chelated form, so it’s easy to digest. Here’s why taking an iron supplement’s oh-so-important:
- Feeling fatigued? Iron can help! It supports healthy energy levels in those who’re experiencing more extreme-than-normal tiredness during the day.*
- Hemoglobin help: Iron’s the star of the show when it comes to hemoglobin production. It’s a protein that transports oxygen in your blood. Iron plays a role in healthy red blood cell formation and oxygen transport.*
- Muscle recovery: After you exercise, your muscles need to recover from the physical stress. Iron helps with that by playing a role in delivering oxygen where it’s needed after exertion.*
- Immune system support: Iron’s got your immune system’s back. It helps support immune function by playing a role in oxygen transport and overall nutritional status.*
- Promotes focus: Iron’s essential for cognitive function. When you consume optimal levels, it helps with concentration and overall brain performance.*
- It’s absorbable: If you sometimes have a sensitive stomach or just want a gentle form of iron, this chelated form may be easier to tolerate and use.*
- If you’re vegetarian or vegan: Iron from plant sources is less bioavailable than iron from meat sources. If you don’t eat meat or consume animal products, it’s a good idea to consider an iron supplement.*
If you’d prefer to get your daily iron delivery in a single capsule that includes all the other essential nutrients your body needs, consider a multivitamin instead. Try Lively Vitamin Co. Multivitamin to get a potent dose of iron, plus B-Vitamins, Calcium, and more.
