Why Iron Is Essential for Energy and Health
Iron is a vital mineral required for oxygen transport, energy production and overall growth and development. It contributes to the formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, helping to deliver oxygen throughout the body. Adequate iron intake supports energy levels, cognitive performance and immune function, while deficiency can lead to tiredness, weakness and reduced concentration.
Because the body cannot produce iron, it must be obtained through diet or supplementation. Metagenics Iron Bisglycinate provides a gentle, bioavailable form of iron that is well tolerated and effective for restoring and maintaining healthy iron levels.
What is Metagenics Iron Bisglycinate?
Metagenics Iron Bisglycinate Capsules deliver a high-strength blend of iron bisglycinate, folate and vitamin B6 to support energy, cognitive function and the reduction of fatigue. Each capsule provides 28mg of iron in its bisglycinate form, which offers superior absorption and digestive comfort compared to traditional iron salts such as fumarate.
This advanced formula also contains folate in the active form 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) and vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate, ensuring optimal bioavailability. Together, these nutrients help support the production of red blood cells, normal homocysteine metabolism and overall energy balance.
Why Folate and Vitamin B6 Are Important
Folate acts as a coenzyme for numerous metabolic reactions, including the regulation of homocysteine, a compound that affects cardiovascular and cognitive health. It also supports maternal tissue growth during pregnancy, contributing to the development of the placenta and uterus. Vitamin B6 plays a crucial role in haemoglobin synthesis, red blood cell formation and the metabolism of amino acids, further supporting energy and vitality.
