Iron Active - Iron chelates, 90 capsules

Iron from iron chelate, the most easily tolerated form of iron

Iron in dietary supplements and medicines alike can be found in many different chemical compounds. One key difference is tolerability:
People who take iron frequently or in large quantities are familiar with the problem: it often causes stomach ache, nausea, constipation and similar symptoms.
This is particularly acute for people who already have problems with their digestive system but who, for example, have to take iron on a long-term basis due to chronic iron loss.
These symptoms can be significantly exacerbated by taking the supplements.
Chelates offer the solution here: in this special chemical compound, into which iron – as well as other minerals – can be incorporated, tolerability is significantly better!

Energetic and alert instead of tired and listless!

Oxygen, which keeps us energetic and alert, is transported in the blood by the ‘haemoglobin taxi’. If this is carrying too little oxygen, this may be due to an iron deficiency on the one hand, but also to a deficiency in vitamin B12 or, more rarely, folic acid.
This then manifests as a feeling of extreme tiredness and listlessness and, as iron – like rust – tends to be red, as extreme paleness of the skin.
This can become a particular problem for people who consume little iron (e.g. vegans) or who regularly lose large amounts of iron (pre-menopausal women), in which case taking iron supplements may be advisable.

Note from EnergyVital

For an over-the-counter product, 30 mg is already quite a high dose. Of course, this is precisely why the product is better for sensitive individuals than many others containing iron(III) gluconate or similar substances, which often cause problems for people with very sensitive digestive systems. However, iron is also one of those substances which, whilst extremely important, can be taken in excess; in other words, in too high a dose and without any actual need for it, it can be harmful to health. We therefore strongly recommend having your iron levels checked by your GP and only taking this product if it is necessary and appropriate. Lower-dose supplements, which we also stock and which contain 7–10 mg, can be taken as a preventative measure even without a laboratory test, e.g. if you are experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency or if it is clear, for example due to an injury or heavy menstrual bleeding or bleeding associated with chronic inflammatory bowel disease, it is clear that you should replenish your iron levels beyond what is provided by your diet. However, this 30 mg product is only advisable following a laboratory test and in cases of actual iron deficiency.
