Iron Picolinate
for enhanced iron absorption without GI side effects*


non-constipating, well-absorbed form of iron*
essential mineral for red blood cell formation*
without preservatives, magnesium stearate, or other lubricants and diluents
available exclusively from Thorne Research


Most of the body's iron is found in hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying molecule in red blood cells. Smaller amounts are found in the tissues as myoglobin and as cofactors for many enzymes. Because of its central role in the hemoglobin molecule, iron is essential for formation of red blood cells.*


To determine the iron status of persons in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control calculated the prevalence of iron deficiency and iron-deficient anemia from data collected from physical exams and household interviews within a sample of the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population. The prevalence of iron deficiency was greatest among toddlers, ages 1-2 years (7%), and menstruating adolescent and adult females, ages 12-49 (9-16%).


An iron deficiency can manifest as weakness, fatigue, shortness of breath on exertion, dizziness, tinnitus, spots before the eyes, drowsiness, irritability, infrequent menstruation, and loss of libido.*


What is picolinic acid? Picolinic acid is a metabolite of tryptophan, is similar to niacin, and is naturally produced in the pancreas. Picolinic acid can bind to minerals in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and facilitate their absorption into the bloodstream.* Conventional iron supplementation, including forms such as ferrous sulfate, can cause GI side effects - including nausea, vomiting, constipation, diarrhea, and dark-colored stools - because these conventional forms are poorly absorbed.


Thorne Research's Iron Picolinate provides 30 mg of elemental iron per capsule reacted with picolinic acid for superior absorption in the GI tract, thus preventing the typical GI side effects.*

Restored energy at high altitude!
By eli from the mountains on December 30, 2010
I had been researching supplements to help adjust at high altitude (symptom - extreme fatigue after a year of residence at high altitude). Began taking the iron supplement per research and my energy was restored.
Pros:
It is not constipating and you can take it on an empty stomach (iron better absorbed that way).
Cons:
On the empty stomach you belch up the taste but small inconvenience for the benefit of energy and no nausea or other gastric distress.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
