Minerals are essential factors of human nutrition. They are not synthesized by the body, but must be obtained ready from the diet. Minerals are components of bones, teeth, soft tissues, muscles, blood, and nerve cells. They also act as catalysts for many biological reactions in the body, and are important for the production of hormones.
Iron is one of the most important components of blood. It inhibits iron deficiency anemia, and as a component of hemoglobin it transports oxygen throughout the body. Iron bisglycinate exhibits the characteristics of easy absorption and high bioavailability. It also does not cause constipation or stomach discomfort (bloating) and is absorbed without the requirement of vitamin C.
