CanPrev’s Iron Bis-Glycinate 20 contains iron bisglycinate, a chelated iron that is easy to absorb, gentle on the stomach and doesn’t cause gastrointestinal upset like those that contain ferrous sulphate can. Each Iron Bis-Glycinate 20 capsule of elemental iron is enhanced with vitamins C, B6, B12 and folic acid, all cofactors that help in the absorption and assimilation of iron for the production of healthy red blood cells.

Iron Bis-Glycinate 20 form CanPrev
It's a surprising fact that out of all the nutrients, iron happens to be the one women in North America are most deficient in. 35 to 58 percent of young, healthy females experience some degree of low iron levels and the number goes slightly higher during pregnancy. Fatigue, a
weakened immune system
and impaired brain activity are all symptoms of iron deficiency. By the time you're diagnosed with anaemia, your iron levels can be in the danger zone.
A low iron count means your body isn't making enough healthy red blood cells to deliver oxygen from your lungs to your body's tissues. About 70 percent of the body's iron is contained in the blood in the form of hemoglobin, a
protein
in red blood cells that carries and delivers oxygen to tissues in the body for survival. Myoglobin, a
protein
in the heart and skeletal muscles, also requires iron to function efficiently. Iron is needed for several key
enzymes
to assist in energy production and metabolism, particularly in DNA construction.

What is Iron?
Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe. Biologically speaking, Iron is an essential trace mineral found within all living organisms. The most commonly studied and well-known compounds of iron within the human body are the heme proteins, as in hemoglobin and myoglobin.
Iron uptake and storage is carefully regulated in the body. A protein called transferrin which binds iron absorbed from the duodenum, and carries it to the blood cells, is a major part of this regulation. Iron is stored in the body as ferritin.
Iron and Iron Deficiency
Iron deficiency, or iron deficiency anemia, can be caused by blood loss, either large or continuous small losses, hypothyroidism and many long-term illnesses. It can be caused (although less often) by low iron intake, such as that of poor vegan and vegetarian diets. Menstruating women are more likely to benefit from iron supplementation, especially those with excess blood loss, as in menorrhagia. Gastro-intestinal conditions, such as Crohn's and
Colitis
may impair absorption of iron, regardless of how much is being consumed. There are also some medications that increase red blood cell count and therefore may cause iron deficiency, if iron stores are not concurrently 'stocked up'.
Iron deficiency is very common during pregnancy. Hypervolemia of pregnancy (increased blood volume) causes relative iron deficiency. Iron deficiency can also be common in breast-fed or low iron formula fed infants. Some of the symptoms of iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, pale face, dry skin and brittle nails, constipation, headaches, dizziness, loss of appetite and decreased immunity. Without iron, red blood cells cannot carry enough oxygen to other cells in the body. Without this oxygen, the cells cannot function properly. In severe cases of iron deficiency, heart palpitations and breathlessness are observed, as these cells fight for more oxygen.
