BioHumin plus Iron
In AllVital BioHumin plus Iron, iron in complex form is bound to humic acids. Thus, iron, the most common and most important trace element in the human body, is actively supplied to the cells. This supplement is characterised by its excellent resorption (assimilation of a substance in the body) and is well-tolerated.
Biochemical function:
Iron is needed to form haemoglobin (red blood pigment) and is essential for the cell’s energy metabolism. Being a central constituent of haemoglobin and myoglobin (muscle pigment), iron binds oxygen and is responsible for oxygen transport and storage in the body. Iron deficiency results in low haemoglobin levels leading to a lack of oxygen in the cells.
Iron is a functional constituent of several enzymes and proteins and plays a key role in cellular immune defence. Muscle performance also depends on a sufficient supply of iron and its resorption.
Natural sources:
Iron is mainly found in pork liver, lentils, mussels and spinach.
Benefits:
AllVital BioHumin plus Iron is recommended for babies and infants, adolescents, competitive athletes, vegetarians and vegans.
An increased demand for iron may be due to
- insufficient supply of iron through food.
- increased demand during lactation.
- periods of growth of children.
- increased demand due to physical activity.
- reduced absorption.
- blood loss, e.g. menstruation, frequent blood donations.
Note:
A concurrent intake of vitamin C supports iron resorption and bioavailability. For optimal effects, combine AllVital BioHumin plus Iron with a tablet of AllVital Vitamin C Complex.
