Iron Active - Iron chelates, 90 capsules

Iron from iron chelate, the best tolerated iron compound

Iron in food supplements as well as in medicines can be present in many different chemical compounds. One major difference is tolerability:
People who take iron often or take a lot of iron are familiar with the problem: abdominal pain, nausea, constipation and similar complaints are frequently caused.
This is particularly dramatic for people who already have problems with their digestive organs, but have to take iron on a permanent basis due to chronic iron loss, for example.
Complaints can be significantly exacerbated by this intake.
Chelates offer the solution here: this special chemical compound, in which iron and other minerals can be packaged, is much better tolerated!

Efficient and alert instead of tired and listless!

Oxygen, which makes us powerful and alert, is transported in the blood by the "haemoglobin taxi". If the haemoglobin taxi has too little oxygen, this can be due to an iron deficiency, but also to a lack of vitamin B12 or, more rarely, folic acid.
This becomes noticeable when you feel very tired and listless and, as iron and rust tend to be red, your skin becomes very pale.
This can be a particular problem for people who absorb little iron (e.g. vegans) or regularly lose a lot of iron (pre-menopausal women). Taking iron can be useful here.

Note from EnergyVital

For an over-the-counter product, 30 mg is quite a high dosage. Of course, the product is better for sensitive people than many that contain iron(III) gluconate or similar, which often causes problems for people with very sensitive intestines. However, iron is also one of those substances that are extremely important but can be overdone, i.e. too high a dose can be harmful to health without there being any need for it. We therefore recommend that you have your iron levels checked by your GP and only take this product if it is necessary and sensible. Lower doses, which we also offer and which contain 7-10 mg, can also be taken prophylactically without a laboratory check, e.g. if you feel symptoms of iron deficiency or if it is clear that you need to replenish a little more iron than is contained in your diet, e.g. due to injury or heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding in the case of chronic intestinal inflammation. However, this product with 30 mg only makes sense after a laboratory check and in the case of an actual iron deficiency.
