Questions and Answers about Natural Factors, Iron Chelate
Have a Question?
-
What is iron chelate good for?
Iron chelate is primarily used to prevent or treat iron deficiency anemia. The chelated form of iron is designed to be more easily absorbed by the body compared to some other forms of iron supplements. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who have difficulty absorbing iron or those who experience digestive side effects from other iron supplements.
-
What is the difference between chelated iron and regular iron?
The main difference between chelated iron and regular iron lies in their structure and absorption. Chelated iron is bound to amino acids, which can help protect the iron from interactions with other substances in the digestive tract that might inhibit its absorption. This can result in better absorption and potentially fewer digestive side effects compared to regular iron supplements.
-
What are natural chelating agents for iron?
Natural chelating agents for iron include certain amino acids and organic acids found in foods. Vitamin C is a well-known natural chelating agent that enhances iron absorption. Other natural chelators include citric acid found in citrus fruits, malic acid in apples, and tartaric acid in grapes. Some proteins, particularly those found in meat, also act as natural iron chelators.
-
What is the best way to apply chelated iron?
The best way to apply chelated iron is typically through oral supplementation, taken as directed. Chelated iron supplements are often recommended to be taken on an empty stomach or between meals for optimal absorption. However, if stomach upset occurs, they can be taken with food. It's often advised to take iron supplements with vitamin C to enhance absorption.
