Iron is one of the most abundant minerals in the body and a fundamental element for our organism. A balanced diet allows us to maintain a stable level of iron in the body, compensating for the physiological losses we have through urine, feces, sweat, and desquamation.
An iron deficiency is often associated with very recurrent symptoms, such as:
- Tiredness
- Headache
- Fatigue
- Dizziness
If prolonged over time, iron deficiency can lead the body to anaemia, characterized by reduced red blood cells and reduced oxygen distribution.
The causes of an iron deficiency can be attributed mainly to dietary choices, often due to low consumption of calcium-rich foods. In women, it can also occur in conjunction with heavy menstrual flow.
How to take Iron and when to supplement it
Iron is mainly obtained through food and comes in two different forms:
- Heme iron: found in animal sources and the most easily absorbed form.
- Non-heme iron: found in plant-based foods. It is recommended to consume it with foods high in vitamin C, such as green vegetable seasoned with lemon juice to maximize its absorption.
In cases of reduced intake of this mineral, decreased body’s ability to absorb it, or increased losses, the use of Iron supplements becomes necessary.
The amount of iron that should be present in the body varies depending on gender, age, weight, or particular conditions (pregnancy). However, for an adult, the daily dose is around 14 mg.
Nevertheless, not all iron supplements are equal.
What is liposomal iron?
Thanks to innovative liposomal technology, iron supplementation is now well- tolerated. In fact, this modality is characterized by high-absorption and excellent bioavailability, compared to traditional supplements.
The liposomal formulation allows the iron, an irritant mineral, to be placed inside a “shell” called a liposome.
This structure shields the iron from gastric digestion and prevents direct contact with the gastric mucosa, reducing potential irritation and side effects, such as digestive heaviness and gastric pain, typical of traditional supplements. In addition, its characteristic metallic taste is eliminated, resulting in a product with a pleasant taste.
