Product Description
Iron Protein Plus 300 mg, 100 capsules Item Catalog Number: 563 The most serious form of iron deficiency is anemia, an impairment of the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. In many people, anemia is caused by lack of sufficient iron intake from the diet. In women of child-bearing age, anemia tends to be a result of menstrual bleeding or from low dietary intake. In men, on the other hand, anemia is usually from medical causes. Symptoms of deficiency are varied, and include fatigue, decreased work performance, poor body temperature regulation, and for women, problems with pregnancy. When the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood is impaired (anemia), reduced blood flow to organ systems occurs and there is a much greater risk for a serious medical illness. In the elderly, 28% of anemic people between the ages of 70 and 79 are likely to die over a five-year time period than nonanemic individuals. In the 80 to 89 year age group, the news is even worse. The likelihood increases to 34%.1 Some people have too much iron in their body. Excess iron produces massive free radicals that can lead to life-threatening diseases. Before beginning iron supplementation to correct a condition such as anemia, a blood test is recommended. An annual CBC/Chemistry test can detect iron level, blood cell counts, and the presence of anemia or other serious conditions. Normal hematocrit ranges are between 36% and 50%. Below 36% indicates anemia. Supplementation with iron protein succinylate showed the following results after 60 days: Promoted healthy red blood cell formation. Promoted healthy oxygen carrying capacity of blood (hemoglobin).* Reference 1. J Am Geriatr Soc 2001 Sep, 49(9):1226-8.
