Iron Deficiency
Iron Deficiency Supplements
Supporting iron levels for men and women
If you wake up feeling tired, are exhausted throughout the day, or just can’t seem to muster up the energy for day to day activities - you may be iron deficient.
Don’t worry!
Iron deficiency may sound scary, but it’s very common - especially in women who menstruate and during pregnancy where your body and baby are getting all the goodies from your diet and leaving little leftover nutrients for yourself. Iron is not just useful for the ladies, however! Anyone who enjoys a plant-based diet or regular exercise may also struggle with finding enough iron from foods alone, and there’s where our iron deficiency supplements come in!
OUR IRON DEFICIENCY SUPPLEMENTS OFFER ALL THESE GREAT BENEFITS:
GLUTEN FREE
VEGAN FRIENDLY
NOTHING ARTIFICIAL
HALAL CERTIFIED
NATURAL PECTIN
WHAT IS IRON DEFICIENCY?
What you need to know!
Iron is responsible for making haemoglobin, a protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen around your body to all of your vital organs. When our iron stores run out or start getting depleted, we may start experiencing a few symptoms that can make daily life incredibly hard. If your iron stores drop too low, we run the risk of developing a condition called anemia. Anemia is fairly serious and needs to be treated by a medical professional. Iron is one of the essential minerals we get from food. Iron deficiency can make itself known by causing us to experience muscle lethargy and exhaustion that would be noticeable and different from our usual energy levels. While symptoms vary from person to person, being iron deficient is absolutely no fun at all - so it’s best to avoid it altogether!
VIT C IS IRON’S BEST FRIEND!
A hint of Vitamin C means that your iron is going to be absorbed more effectively into your system, so think of Vit-C as Iron’s best running mate, supporting the healthy production of haemoglobin in your blood cells. Vit-C also gives your immune system that little leg up it needs to support the immune defences and supports the growth of healthy blood cells - all in one go! Bonus!
MADE WITH NATURAL PECTIN
ALLERGY FREE & VEGAN FRIENDLY
Our health supplements are made with natural pectin instead of gelatin, which makes them not only vegan-friendly but also friendly on your gut. Pectin is a naturally occurring fibre found in fruit, so it is a perfect ingredient to house our supplement goodness! Our vitamins are chewable and naturally flavoured. They are so easy to eat you’re going to want more than one! Simply just pop them in your mouth on the go, and you’re all set to support your overall health naturally! Sounds easy? That’s because it is!
Menstruation Pick Me Up
Ladies, help is here. When you lose blood, you lose a lot of iron. It’s amazing what women can work through, but it doesn’t have to be as hard on your energy levels! We already feel way more tired when our time of the month comes knocking, so give your body the extra support during this trying time with iron supplements!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Iron is an essential mineral naturally found within your body. It is a major component of haemoglobin and is hugely important, as previously mentioned because it helps transport oxygen to all of the parts of your body that needs it! When your body stops getting the essential oxygen that it needs, you are going to start slowing down as your muscles physically can’t keep up with the demand of day to day living. We know what happens when we can’t breathe, and it’s not pretty; the same thing starts happening to your starved muscles and tissues. Without iron, you will feel exhausted, everything will feel increasingly hard, and you may even be diagnosed with anemia.
What are the signs of low iron levels and/or anemia?
Tiredness or lethargy
Difficulty breathing
Heart racing
Pale skin
Headaches
Dizziness
Feeling colder than usual
Infections due to low immune systems
Sometimes, like with all foods, you can experience some side effects while ingesting iron - either from foods or from supplements. They can include:
Upset stomach
Dark stools
Constipation
Heartburn
Although these side effects are not common - if you experience any of them, it is a good idea to consult your healthcare provider for advice and stop taking the supplements immediately. Before starting any kind of iron supplements, we do recommend that you get the all-clear from your NZ doctor.
While we recommend everything in moderation, eating iron-rich foods while taking an Iron supplement is unlikely to cause any serious complications with your health. We always suggest that you get this kind of confirmation from your own healthcare provider, as individual dietary requirements and circumstances can greatly vary.
What Foods Are High In Iron?
Red Meat
Poultry
Pork
Seafood
Beans
Dark leafy greens (Spinach)
Peas
Iron-fortified cereals
While eating a pile of spinach won’t let you fight off people like Popeye, it may help support you by warding off conditions like anemia. Or you could just chew a delicious iron supplement instead!
Depending on the supplier and manufacturer of iron supplements in NZ, you may find varying degrees or different compounds of the ingredient “ferrous” or “ferric”, which is the main compound of iron. Outside of chemistry, “ferrous” just means “containing iron”. So do not be surprised to see it appear on anything claiming to contain iron. The types of iron supplements available in NZ vary greatly, from prescribed to our available for purchase online gummy Iron supplements!
