Iron & Protein Dietary Supplement Life Extension Iron Protein Plus

One of the most essential elements in the human body is iron. It might be hard to believe, but an adult's body contains up to 5 kilograms of iron, 70% of which is part of hemoglobin's composition. Hemoglobin plays a crucial role as the oxygen supplier for the entire body. Furthermore, iron actively participates as a catalyst in many of the body’s biochemical reactions and in the structural formation of muscle proteins. Iron-rich foods include all types of meat, liver, egg yolks, pink salmon and mackerel, walnuts, beets, apples, peaches, grapes, plums, pears, and pomegranates. For the body to absorb iron effectively, it should be consumed with foods rich in vitamin C and folic acid. Iron deficiency in the body manifests as a sickly skin color and excessive dryness, constant (chronic) fatigue, an inability to concentrate, and irritability. The body loses iron very quickly during heavy menstrual cycles and bleeding, stomach, intestinal, and liver diseases, as well as due to the adverse effects of the environment. A lack of it leads to anemia.

Iron supplements are recommended for individuals experiencing acute infectious diseases, significant blood loss, pregnant women, and those who excessively consume tea and coffee.
