Blood Support Plus IRON & SUPERFOODS is a supplement that aims to provide various nutrients and superfoods to support overall blood health. Here are the features and benefits of the key ingredients mentioned:
Vitamin C (15 mg): Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that supports the immune system and helps in the absorption of iron. It also plays a crucial role in the production of collagen, a protein that aids in blood vessel formation and integrity.
Methyl Folate (680 mcg DFE): Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is essential for the production and maintenance of new cells, including red blood cells. It supports healthy cell division and growth, particularly during periods of rapid cell turnover.
Methyl Vitamin B-12 (30 mcg): Vitamin B-12 is necessary for the formation of healthy red blood cells. It helps in the synthesis of DNA, supports nerve function, and plays a role in energy metabolism. Vitamin B-12 deficiency can lead to a type of anemia called megaloblastic anemia.
Iron as Ferrous bisglycinate (26 mg): Iron is a mineral essential for the production of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Iron deficiency can lead to iron-deficiency anemia, characterized by fatigue, weakness, and reduced oxygen-carrying capacity.
Ferrous bisglycinate is a form of iron that has gained popularity as an alternative to Ferrous Sulfate due to its potential benefits. Here are some advantages of ferrous bisglycinate over ferrous sulfate:
- Enhanced Absorption: Ferrous bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron, meaning that it is bound to the amino acid glycine. This chelation process helps to protect the iron molecule from interactions with other substances in the digestive system, improving its absorption. Studies have shown that ferrous bisglycinate has higher bioavailability and is better tolerated than ferrous sulfate, resulting in less gastrointestinal side effects such as constipation and stomach upset.
- Gentler on the Stomach: Ferrous bisglycinate is generally considered to be better tolerated by individuals with sensitive stomachs. It is less likely to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and constipation, which are common side effects associated with ferrous sulfate.
- Lower Oxidative Stress: Ferrous bisglycinate has been found to generate less oxidative stress compared to ferrous sulfate. Oxidative stress occurs when there is an imbalance between the production of harmful free radicals and the body's ability to neutralize them. By reducing oxidative stress, ferrous bisglycinate may offer additional benefits to overall health.
- Improved Compliance: Due to its better tolerability and lower incidence of side effects, ferrous bisglycinate may improve compliance with iron supplementation. Many individuals find it easier to adhere to a supplement regimen when they experience fewer adverse effects.
Organic Beet Root (200 mg): Beet root is a rich source of nitrates, which can be converted to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide helps dilate blood vessels, promoting healthy blood flow and supporting cardiovascular health. Beet root is also packed with antioxidants and essential nutrients.
Organic Superfood Fruit and Veggie Blend (50 mg): This blend combines various organic fruits and vegetables, providing a wide range of phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Phytonutrients are plant compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which can support overall health and well-being.
By combining these ingredients, Blood Support Plus Iron & Superfoods aims to provide comprehensive support for blood health. The vitamins and minerals help in the production and maintenance of healthy red blood cells, while the organic superfoods contribute additional antioxidants and nutrients to support overall health and well-being.
