Physiological effects

Iron (Fe) is an essential mineral needed to form hemoglobin in red blood cells and to carry oxygen from the lungs to every cell.

Women in particular have trouble getting enough iron. The need for extra iron may also occur in athletes, the elderly, and convalescents .

Prolonged iron deficiency can cause anemia, which occurs especially in adults, young women, and expectant mothers. Iron deficiency may occur in women of all ages, e.g. due to heavy menstruation, pregnancy and lactation, weight loss, poor eating habits, and eating and absorption disorders. Strong exercise and sports may cause a decrease in iron stores in men as well.

Iron deficiency manifests as fatigue, headache, dizziness, general malaise, decreased resistance, pallor, irritability, and depression.

Today, plasma ferritin, which is a form of iron storage and shows iron deficiency even before hemoglobin begins to fall, is considered a better measure of iron deficiency than hemoglobin. Thus, it is possible to suffer from iron deficiency even if hemoglobin is within the reference limits. Normal ferritin also does not always indicate adequate iron stores, as ferritin levels may be elevated in certain inflammatory conditions.

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that promotes the absorption of iron. Vitamin C is needed e.g. to maintain good resistance and the condition of the skin and blood vessels.

Ferroforte 100 is a strong iron product. Recommended for measured iron deficiency.
