Iron is a pivotal nutrient in the body, critical for transporting oxygen in hemoglobin, supporting muscle function, boosting energy production, and enhancing brain health and immune function. Maintaining adequate iron levels is crucial as deficiencies can lead to anemia, fatigue, cognitive impairments, and weakened immunity.
Why Choose Heme Iron? Heme iron, which makes up 95% of functional iron in the human body, is derived from animal sources and closely resembles the iron naturally present in humans. This similarity and its polypeptide structure allow for superior absorption in the intestines. Unlike other iron forms that may cause stomach upset, heme iron is gentler and can be consumed with or without food due to its compatibility with our evolutionary dietary adaptations.
New Roots Bovine Heme Iron: New Roots provides a high-quality bovine-sourced heme iron, perfect for those avoiding pork-based products. Each capsule contains 11 mg of elemental iron, enhanced with vitamin C to boost absorption and active forms of vitamins B9 (folate) and B12, crucial for hemoglobin formation.
