Iron Citrate Mineral Supplement for Cellular Health Swanson Iron Citrate 25 mg

Iron citrate is an inorganic compound, consisting of iron salts and citric acid, and is used in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia. Iron plays a crucial role in the formation of hemoglobin and in the transportation of oxygen from the lungs throughout the body. Foods rich in iron, which we consume daily, can maintain its level within the normal range with a balanced diet. Iron is abundantly found in meat and liver, and to a lesser extent in eggs, legumes, whole grains, sesame and pumpkin seeds, as well as in green herbs, specifically parsley and thyme. Iron deficiency is common and often arises from improper diet, particularly when the intake of iron-rich foods is limited, or due to excessive consumption of coffee/tea. Women during pregnancy, individuals experiencing significant blood loss, those with anemia, or undergoing physical exertion, are in greater need of additional iron intake. Taking iron supplements can relieve symptoms of chronic fatigue, energize the body, alleviate numbness in the limbs and dizziness, improve attention span, and reduce irritability. Iron Citrate, by Swanson, features properties that allow for gradual absorption, easing its impact on the stomach, enhancing bioavailability, and ensuring good tolerance. This form of iron is ideally suited for vegetarians, who might have minimal iron intake from their diet.
