Iron: vital substance for the blood and performance

Iron is the most common trace element in the human organism. The highest amount is in the red blood pigment (haemoglobin) and in the muscle cells.

Different iron compounds

The trace element iron occurs in food in two different forms: bivalent iron, which can only be found in animal-based products, and trivalent iron, which exists primarily in plants. Bivalent iron is well resorbable and is directly available for the body, whereas trivalent iron has to be converted into bivalent iron before the body is able to utilise it.
That is why you should pay attention when you buy dietary supplements. Always make sure that they contain bivalent iron. The iron capsules by Fairvital contain the well resorbable iron (II) sulfate.

Function of iron in the body

The key tasks of iron are the oxygen transport, the energy generation and supplying the muscles with oxygen. Furthermore, it is a component of many important enzymes.

Iron and vitamin C

Along with vitamin C, the resorption of iron improves, which supports the health-promoting properties of the trace element. Even stored iron in the body can be released into the blood with the help of vitamin C.
Additionally, vitamin C supports the conversion of plant-based trivalent iron into the well utilisable bivalent iron.

Iron and biotin

When it comes to the loss of hair, only few think of the trace element iron, although it is as relevant for the hair as biotin.
Iron is an important nutrient for the hair roots and can contribute to healthy hair growth.

Iron and vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) contributes to normal red blood cell formation and has a role in the process of cell division. For this reason, iron and vitamin B12 are important partners, when it comes to the blood formation and the oxygen transport in the blood.
