Trophic Iron Chelate. Iron is found primarily in the blood as part of the hemoglobin molecule or stored in the liver. Iron deficiency is an issue of global concern. Pregnant and premenstrual women, growing children and athletes have the greatest demand for iron. Iron is poorly absorbed from the small intestine unless it is properly chelated with amino acids. Only 2% - 10% of ingested inorganic iron salts are actually absorbed. Inorganic iron salts have poor bioavailability and often create undesirable gastric side effects.

Iron is essential to the formation of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Iron salts must be converted by the digestive process, to the organic form to be of much use within the body. Many people are just not able to perform this digestive function of first separating the iron mineral from its iron salt compound and then chelating it with amino acids efficiently, to become Iron amino acid chelate. trophic, by pre-chelating iron with amino acids, relieves the body of the task of performing this digestive function. trophic Iron Amino Acid Chelate caplets are better absorbed (60% - 70%), more bioavailable and better tolerated than iron salts.

Benefits:
Essential to the formation of Hemoglobin in red blood cells and bone formation.
Promotes healing and the synthesis of RNA.
Catalyzes the conversion of Beta Carotene to Vitamin A.
Key to the formation of skin and hair pigmentation and protein metabolism.

Signs of deficiency:
General weakness, fatigue and shortness of breath, anemia pale skin, lack of appetite, fluid retention, skin sores.
