DESCRIPTION
Iron is an essential trace mineral, which is used in the production of red blood cells, and the formation of hemoglobin, which is the protein that carries oxygen to the blood.* In addition to oxygen transport, iron plays a role in several body processes including energy metabolism, neurotransmitter production (seratonin and dopamine), collagen formation, and immune system function.* Endurance athletes seem to have higher needs of iron because they have greater losses during training, and therefore, iron supplementation is sometimes needed for energy production in these individuals.* Iron supplements have been proven to provide benefits with people with diagnosed deficiency, but iron supplements are only recommended for individuals who do not get enough iron from their diet, and for those whose needs are higher than average.* Only about 20% of American women get enough iron from their diet, and endurance athletes have higher needs.* There is concern in many supplements with the bioavailability and type of iron used in the supplement. True Chelates™ Iron provides a highly bioavailable form of iron to give the body what it needs for energy production and oxygen transport.*
RESEARCH SUMMARY
- Energy Production* - Endurance athletes seem to have higher needs of iron because they have greater losses during training, and therefore, iron supplementation is sometimes needed for energy production in these individuals.*
- Oxygen Transport* - Iron is an essential trace mineral which is used in the production of red blood cells, and the formation of hemoglobin, the protein that carries oxygen in the blood.*
