Micronutrition Lipocap Iron 73.04mg 30 VegeCaps

LipoCap Iron delivers highly bioavailable iron using advanced liposomal technology for superior absorption – without the mess of liquids. Gentle on the stomach, shelf-stable, and free from common allergens. Iron is an essential trace mineral essential for transporting oxygen, supporting energy metabolism, and aiding DNA and neurotransmitter synthesis. About 65% of the body's iron is in haemoglobin, enabling red blood cells to deliver oxygen to tissues, while 10% is stored in muscle. Iron is stored primarily in the liver, spleen and bone marrow as ferritin. Found in red meat, poultry, fish, legumes and fortified foods, iron is the world's most commonly deficient nutrient – affecting over 1.6 billion people and contributing to around half of all anaemia cases. Signs and symptoms of iron deficiency include: - Fatigue and lethargy - Decreased resistance to infection - Pale inside lower eyelid or mouth - Pale-coloured nail bed - Ridged, spoon-shaped, thin flat nails - Pale lines on stretched palm (palmar creases) - Brittle hair - Impaired cognitive and motor function - Difficulty maintaining body temperature in a cold environment. LipoCap® is a proprietary liposomal encapsulation technology to protect nutrients and deliver them directly to cells, ensuring superior absorption, stability and efficacy via its specialised freeze-drying (lyophilisation) process that preserves the integrity of active ingredients. Liposomes are microscopic spheres made of natural phospholipids that mimic human cell membranes, allowing nutrients to be absorbed more efficiently and without degradation. Dry formulations are more resistant to temperature fluctuations and microbial contamination, providing a longer shelf-life, but still with the benefits of a liposomal structure that is activated when mixed with water. LipoCap® Iron supports energy, immune health, cognitive function and red blood cell production. It is a vegan-friendly formula and does not contain any animal products.
