Le fer joue un rôle essentiel dans le transport de l’oxygène jusqu’aux cellules de notre corps.

Le fer effectue un travail de messager, dont les colis sont l’oxygène. Les messagers récupèrent les colis au centre de distribution, les chargent dans leur véhicule, puis les délivrent à bon port. Si le nombre de messagers n’est pas suffisant pour absorber la demande, nos colis n’arrivent pas à temps.

À l’image du messager, le fer récupère l’oxygène de nos poumons, le charge dans les globules rouges, puis le transporte vers toutes les cellules de notre corps. Une fois que nos cellules ont reçu de l’oxygène, elles l’utilisent pour fabriquer le carburant dont notre corps a besoin pour fonctionner. Si nous ne disposons pas du fer suffisant pour transporter l’oxygène vers nos cellules, nous ne sommes pas en mesure de créer de l’énergie et ressentons de la fatigue.

Le manque de fer peut provoquer plus que de la fatigue. Lorsque nos cellules sont privées d’oxygène, cela se répercute sur l’ensemble du corps, du cerveau jusqu’aux orteils. C’est pourquoi le manque de fer peut ralentir la cicatrisation, générer une faiblesse musculaire, des difficultés à se concentrer ou à mémoriser des informations, de la dépression, des maux de tête, une perte de cheveux, et affaiblir notre système immunitaire1. Une carence en fer peut également être responsable de problèmes au niveau du développement cognitif, de troubles du comportement ainsi que d’un trouble déficitaire de l’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) chez les enfants2.

Pour connaître votre taux de fer, vous pouvez effectuer une prise de sang afin de mesurer votre ferritine, qui représente les réserves de fer de votre organisme. Le problème réside dans le fait que le taux de ferritine considéré comme « normal » au Canada est compris entre 5 et 272 μg/L chez les adultes. Comme cet éventail est large, nous pouvons supposer qu’une personne avec un taux de ferritine de 7 μg/L se trouve dans un état bien différent de celle ayant un taux de 200 μg/L.

Les recherches ont montré qu’une supplémentation en fer pouvait être bénéfique pour certaines personnes qui souffrent de problèmes de fatigue, y compris dans les cas où le taux de ferritine n’est pas assez bas pour provoquer de l’anémie3. La Dre Hilary conseille d’essayer de maintenir un taux de ferritine compris entre 70 et 100 μg/L afin que l’organisme dispose d’assez de fer pour pouvoir fonctionner de manière optimale.

FloradixTablets promotethe formation of healthy red blood cells. The iron is provided in a form called ferrous gluconate, which is effectively absorbed and gentle on our digestion.

Floradix Tablets also contain a blend of B vitamins that work alongside iron to promote the formation of healthy red blood cells. In addition, B vitamins are essential for the conversion of oxygen into energy once it has been delivered to our cells.

FloradixTablets providea synergisticcombination ofherbs and vegetables rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene to improve the absorption of iron, as well as herbs to aid in healthy digestion.

Iron II (Ferrous gluconate) 

  • Easily absorbedand vegan-friendly form of iron6.
  • Gentle on the digestive system, and non-constipating.

Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid)      

  • Enhances the absorption of iron by binding and then storing it in a form that is more easily absorbed by the body than iron on its own7.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride)

  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy8.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)  

  • Required to activate vitamin B6 and folic acid8.
  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B3 (Nicotinamide)     

  • Boosts energy, improves mood and memory8.
  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride) 

  • Required for the production of haemoglobin in the red blood cells8.
  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Folic acid (Folate)  

  • Required for the production of red blood cells. Low folate can result in anemia8.
  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin)  

  • Required for the production of red blood cells. Low vitamin B12 can result in anemia8.
  • Essential for the conversion of food and oxygen into energy.
  • Individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or who have a diet low in iron are often also low in B vitamins.

Dried extracts of spinach, carrot, bitter fennel, centaury, and rosehips

  • Vegetable sources of beta carotene and vitamin C to improve the absorption of iron7.
  • Fennel and centaury soothe the stomach and improve digestion.

Dr. Hilary’s Lifestyle Changes To Support Healthy Iron Levels

  • Focus on iron-rich foods, including meat, fish, dark leafy greens, brown rice, beans, nuts, and seeds and iron-fortified cereals1.
  • Avoid consuming foods that block iron absorption within two hours of an iron supplement or eating iron-rich foods. These include black tea, coffee, cocoa, and calcium-rich foods such as dairy, almonds, and broccoli9.
  • Increase foods that boost iron absorption, including foods high in vitamin C and beta carotene7. These vitamins are found in yellow, orange and red fruits and vegetables, such as grapefruit, oranges, bell peppers, beets, carrots, squash, and tomatoes.
  • Talk to your doctor if you are taking acid blocking medications (proton pump inhibitors, antacids), as they impair iron absorption1.
  • Heal the gut lining to improve absorption of iron in the small intestine5.
  • Ask for annual blood work to test your ferritin level and other iron markers when warranted. Aim for an optimal ferritin level of 70-100 ug/L.

Optimal iron levels are essential for our overall wellness. We rely on iron to deliver oxygen to every cell in the body so that we can produce energy. Low iron causes fatigue, a weakened immune system, headaches, difficulties with memory and concentration, hair loss, and muscle weakness1.

It is important to have our iron tested regularly so that we can adjust our diet and supplements to achieve and maintain healthy levels. Floradix Iron Tablets provide a synergistic combination of iron, B vitamins, vitamin C and nutrient-rich food extracts to enhance the absorption, digestion, and effects of iron in the body. Floradix Iron Tablets provide a well-rounded solution for optimizing iron levels to improve energy and overall health.
