{"title":"Iron","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIron in food\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe best dietary sources of iron are liver, meat, meat products, and whole grain products. Among whole grains, rye bread is the richest in iron. From plant-based foods, legumes and green leafy vegetables are good sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron in food exists in two forms: heme iron (Fe2) and non-heme iron (Fe3). In meat, about half of the iron is heme iron and half is non-heme iron. Plant-based foods contain only non-heme iron. Heme iron is absorbed more efficiently than non-heme iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin C improves iron absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin C can increase the absorption of non-heme iron up to fourfold. Therefore, when consuming foods that contain non-heme iron, it is beneficial to also ensure sufficient vitamin C intake. On the other hand, calcium reduces iron absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout 15% of the iron in food is absorbed by the body. Absorption is more efficient when the body's iron stores are low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHemoglobin concentration in the blood reflects iron balance, while serum ferritin level indicates the size of the iron stores.

However, iron deficiency can occur at any age due to factors such as heavy menstruation, dieting, poor eating habits, eating disorders, absorption issues (especially in the elderly), or intense exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron deficiency may be suspected if you feel tired, have trouble concentrating, or have poor overall endurance. Anemic individuals either have too few red blood cells or the red blood cells are abnormally formed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIron overload\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcess iron intake can be harmful, potentially damaging the liver and kidneys. Chronic overdose may cause hemosiderosis, where iron compounds accumulate in tissues—although without yet causing tissue damage. If damage occurs, the condition is called hemochromatosis, which may lead to several illnesses such as joint disorders and liver cirrhosis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcute iron poisoning is also possible. This occurs when the body's natural regulation of iron absorption fails and too much iron is absorbed. Symptoms of acute poisoning include vomiting and bloody diarrhea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIron as a dietary supplement\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron supplements are available in liquid, oral spray, drops, capsules, tablets and effervescent tablets. Iron absorption is enhanced by taking vitamin C at the same time, while tea, coffee, and dairy products inhibit absorption. Iron supplements should not be used without reason; it’s best to test your iron levels before starting. A quick finger-prick test by a nurse can provide immediate results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApproved health claims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron contributes to normal cognitive function\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron contributes to the normal function of the immune system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIron has a role in the process of cell division\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiscover the full iron supplement range at TheArcticPure.com!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"nordaid-ron-spray","title":"Nordaid Iron Spray","description":"\u003ch2\u003eStrong and exceptionally absorbable choice, also against fatigue!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNordaid Iron Spray is a dietary supplement designed specifically for those suffering from iron deficiency and\/or fatigue.
