Is This Iron Supplement The Key To Finally Feeling Better?
What most of us know about inadequate iron intake and status is the bare minimum: that it's connected to the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or a plant-based diet. What we don't know (yet), is the importance of healthy iron levels in feeling energized, clear, and healthy—for men and women alike. In the spirit of proactive health and well-being: What if we didn't wait for the fatiguing symptoms of iron deficiency to start caring about our iron levels?*
Iron deficiency does happen to be the most common nutritional disorder1 around the world, affecting 10 million people in the States.* About half of those lack enough iron-rich proteins (hemoglobin) that help our red blood cells fill our body with oxygen.* Hence why inadequate iron intake and low iron levels in the blood can leave us panting after a jaunt up the stairs.
Other clues of insufficient iron include a chalky, ghostlike complexion or feeling unusually tired. Iron is even involved in the health of our skin and hair. But not to worry, iron gaps can be addressed with the right supplementation.*
The new age of iron supplementation.
For decades, there's been some stagnancy in the conversation around iron and the innovation of iron supplements. But that's officially old news. In response to the latest research, Flora has launched a new iron supplement, Ferritin+™, with a fresh approach to how iron fits into our overall health. With 11 patents and three comprehensive clinical trials, Ferritin+™ is a product that helps us not only address inadequate iron intake and status, but also maintain healthy iron levels before they even have a chance to drop.*
Ferritin iron is the next need-to-know term.
So, alongside our iron supplements, it's time to update our understanding of healthy iron levels. And that starts with learning what "ferritin iron" is and why it matters. Simply put, ferritin is a protein that contains and protects iron atoms. Think a protein cage. When ferritin iron is ingested, it can travel safely through our digestive tract and effectively absorb (not an easy feat for iron supplements).*
What's next: effectively supplementing ferritin iron.
In the past, we've supplemented with other forms of iron that are harder to absorb and often rough on the digestive system. But we'll say it again because we love science: Flora's Ferritin+™ iron supplement was formulated using recent, innovative research. And what that yielded was a plant-based supplement (made with organic peas) with time-release technology that helps us build up stored iron levels for the long term.* The cherry on top is that each Ferritin+™ capsule delivers its 20 mg of iron without irritating the gut, as iron supplements often do.
Times have changed, and we're excited about this new approach to supplementing iron. Not only because Ferritin+™ supports everyone—from those with inadequate iron intake to the proactive health enthusiasts—but because this supplement is even backed by clinical studies.* Ferritin+™ has been proved to help our intestinal cells absorb iron molecules while keeping our intestinal lining safe.*
The bigger picture: a life with healthy iron levels.
While helping oxygenate our organs, iron supports our metabolism, respiratory system, and immune function. This means that the benefits of healthy iron levels extend way beyond tackling the stairs (but we're psyched about that, too). Life with healthy iron levels means that our body is abundant with oxygen to support the constant, complex needs of our various organs and systems.* Just the thought gives us a burst of energy.
When it comes to supplementation in general, we're all about two things: staying current on the latest science and tackling nutrition issues head on by leveraging targeted, proactive tools. Flora's Ferritin+™ is the iron supplement that helps us restore and maintain iron levels, in the way science has deemed best.* For us, it doesn't get better. Iron deficiency is a real struggle for millions of us on our wellness journey—here's to new solutions and thriving!*
