 What you should know:

Iron is an integral part of certain proteins in the human organism, including haemoglobin, myoglobin and certain enzymes. Around 65% of iron is associated with haemoglobin in the red blood cells and as such performs an important function of carrying oxygen to the tissues. The iron levels in the organism are maintained through various mechanisms, which regulate absorption with our diet. Ferro+ is a diet supplement and has a specific formulation that allows maximum absorption and use of iron. In particular, the presence of Vitamin C increases absorption of iron in the intestine. Folic acid and Vitamin B12 are fundamental for the adequate production (erythropoiesis) of red blood cells, the cells that contain haemoglobin. Lack of iron causes iron-deficiency anaemia, present in 20-30% of European women in fertile age. An increased need of iron occurs during pregnancy, breast-feeding or the menstrual cycle. This information encourages the greater part of the female population to take iron supplements.

For athletes, iron deficiency in both sexes is well reported and quite common. This deficiency can have negative effects on physical performance, especially aerobic sports (decrease in the anaerobic threshold, decrease in VO_2max). This is caused by lower oxygenation in muscular tissue. Iron deficiency can become a real case of anaemia; it can be caused by an inadequate diet (vegetarian, small consumption of red meat), heavy losses during the menstrual cycle, burst blood vessels in the muscular districts subject to intense strain.

 

 

SPORT: on the basis of the above information, iron supplements are recommended for anybody who constantly practices resistance sports. As iron is not completely absorbed, due to various conditions, we recommend spreading the dose throughout the day. This way, when it is taken, preferably on an empty stomach, better and more constant absorption is guaranteed. Iron supplements are virtually indispensable in vegetarian athletes.

Dose: 1 or more tablets per day, spread throughout the day (4-6 tablets per day).

DAILY LIFE:a supplement of Ferro+ is useful for anybody risking iron deficiency (vegetarians, women in fertile age especially during pregnancy, breast-feeding or the menstrual cycle). An increased need of iron has been demonstrated during growth (in both sexes).

Dose: 1 or more tablets per day (preferably spread throughout the day) based on the effective deficiency level.

Side effects, toxicity: at the recommended dose, the product has no side effects or toxicity, even if taken over long periods. No acute intoxication has been reported with iron (an excessive intake is compensated by greater elimination in bowel movements). Illness caused by accumulation is exclusively of genetic nature.
