Iron is an essential trace mineral in human nutrition. It is involved in the entire process of respiration, including oxygen transport and electron transport. Iron-deficiency, which can lead to a microcytic, hypochromic anaemia, is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. Approximately 25% of the world's population is iron-deficient.
The type of reduced form Iron we use in Cardio-Klenz is important because it’s small molecular size does not cause oxidation like most forms of Iron used in general Iron supplements.
Iron is necessary for the production of haemoglobin. Iron-deficiency can lead to decreased production of haemoglobin and a microcytic, hypochromic anaemia.
Iron has putative immune-enhancing, anticarcinogenic and cognition-enhancing activities.
Using reduced iron in the treatment of iron deficiency anaemia, an increase in the reticulocyte count is seen in three to four days and peaks in seven to ten days. The haemoglobin values may increase at a rate of 1.5 to 2.2 grams per decilitre per week for the first two weeks, followed by 0.7 to 1.6 grams per decilitre per week until normal values are achieved.
