Why Is Iron so Important?
Iron is essential for several critical functions in the body, including transporting oxygen via hemoglobin, supporting muscle function, and aiding in energy production. It also plays a vital role in brain health, immune system function, and DNA synthesis. Given its extensive roles, maintaining adequate iron levels is important, as a deficiency can lead to anemia, fatigue, impaired cognitive function, and weakened immunity.
Why Heme Iron?
Heme iron constitutes 95% of functional iron in the human body. Due to being sourced from animal blood, heme iron closely mimics our own iron. This similarity, as well as its polypeptide properties, allow for higher absorption within the intestines. Being derived from animal blood, which our body may recognise from generations of carnivorous diet, heme iron is gentler on the stomach, as compared to other forms of iron. As such, heme iron can be taken with or without food.
