Description
Iron is a mineral that every single cell in your body needs. The main job of this mineral is to make red blood cells‚ which transport oxygen to other cells. With too few red blood cells‚ the other cells in your body can starve from a lack of oxygen‚ In addition to producing red blood cells‚ iron regulates body temperature‚ supplies oxygen for proper muscle and brain functioning‚ and supports your metabolism. That’s why Kirkman’s Iron Liquid may be a great insurance policy.
The best source of iron is food; red meat is one of the best sources. This mineral is so important that your body stores up to 15 percent of your intake‚ in case your diet falls short at a later point. Certain conditions‚ such as poor absorption of iron‚ internal bleeding‚ and heavy menstrual periods can make your iron levels fall dangerously low‚ and you may experience such symptoms as:
- Fatigue
- Skin problems
- Brittle nails
- Weakness
- Irritability
- Headache
- Cold hands and feet
- Paleness
Other dietary sources of iron include spinach‚ soybeans‚ liver‚ legumes‚ salmon‚ whole grains‚ eggs‚ green leafy vegetables‚ poultry‚ and tuna. However‚ iron is sometimes hard for the body to absorb‚ especially if it comes from fruits‚ vegetables‚ and grains. As a result‚ you may need to take an easily-absorbable iron supplement.
Iron Liquid by Kirkman is water-soluble‚ making iron easier for your body to absorb. The only active ingredient in this liquid supplement is iron choline citrate. Take one teaspoon per day‚ unless otherwise directed by your doctor. If necessary‚ the dosage can be added to beverages or food.
