Angstrom Minerals - Iron 75ppm 8 fl oz (AMIRON)

Description of Angstrom Minerals - Iron 75ppm 8 fl oz

Iron is called the "energy giver". It attracts oxygen and builds blood. Along with manganese and copper, it is necessary for health blood chemistry and is essential for recovery from illness.

Iron is stored in the blood, bone marrow, liver and spleen, with trace amounts in every organ. Iron is one of the most common deficiencies in men as well as in women, although women require more iron than men because of their menstrual cycle.

Iron combines with other nutrients to produce vital blood proteins, and is involved in food metabolism, digestion, elimination, and circulation. It also helps maintain sufficiently high blood pressure. Vitamin C improves iron absorption.

Without sufficient iron, the body cannot manufacture enough new hemoglobin-packed blood cells (the red cell protein that transports oxygen in blood). Iron helps the body to rid itself of carbon dioxide and keeps liver tissue soft.
