How can I get enough Iron? Iron intake - diet vs. supplementation
Iron is essential for hemoglobin formation and for the effective
circulation of oxygen throughout the body. Without adequate levels of
iron in the blood, one will be left feeling lethargic and tired. Women
are more likely to suffer from anemia and low blood-iron because
menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding tax their iron stores.
Vegetarians are at higher risk of developing iron deficiency and so are
those who eat little red meat.
However, many people are eating less meat due to the high fat content and fear
of mad cow disease. In the case of iron, even dietary intake often is
insufficient to supply the body's daily requirements. Iron is not
easily absorbed, and there is even less available for absorption if
digestion and food breakdown is reduced through stress, poor enzyme
production or age. Older people often require a supplement, as their
bodies less efficiently absorb nutrients. This makes the need for a
high quality iron supplement clear.
Iron absorption -solids vs. liquids
Solid iron
tablets first need to be broken down by the body before their iron
becomes available for absorption. Tablets are held together with
binders and coated with substances to help them keep their shape. Due
to the binders, fillers and coating, the body cannot easily get to the
nutrients in a tablet. As well, tablets usually use forms of iron that
are not well absorbed by the body. Liquid supplements, on the other
hand, do not need to be broken down by the body before the active
ingredients can be released and absorbed. They are right there for the
body to pick out and absorb through the gastric mucous lining, since
liquid supplements provide the body with a much larger surface area to
volume ratio for easy absorption.
