*** DO YOU HAVE LOW IRON?***
Iron deficiency has become more common and can lead to low energy, fatigue, pale skin, weak nails, poor brain function, dizziness and a compromised immune system.
The problem is when most people get a blood test from their doctor and come back with low iron their GPs or pharmacist usually recommend the 2 following variations
- Fero-grad C
- Maltofer
But there are many problems with these and if you've taken them in the past or currently taking them that they do come with side effects that affect our gut
Both of these forms are:
- Synthetic and contain Non Hem Iron - Which limits absorbtion
- Increasing inflammation
- Increasing stomach cramps and bloating
- Feeding harmful bacteria
- Making your deficiency worse
- Reducing iron absorption even more
Here is just a list of side effects that both Maltofer and Ferrograd list online themselves....
If you have low iron the best place to start is to incorporate organ meats into your diet like Liver, Heart, Kidney, Spleen as these are rich in heme iron which are much more bioavailable and contain copper, B vitamins & Vitamin A which also assist in the process of absorbing the iron.
If you don't have the time or dont like the flavour of beef organs then our freeze dried beef organ capsules are the next best option
They...
1. Are a good source of bioavailable heme iron (much easier to absorb than plant based iron)
2. Are a good source of copper which is essential for absorbing iron from the gut
3. Includes high amounts of A,D,E & K as well as essential minerals and B vitamins which all are essential for optimal gut health
4. Will actually contribute to fixing the root issue of low iron rather than create a bigger problem
5. Won't leave you with digestive & gut issues
