CanPrev Heme Iron 60 Cap

Iron is an essential mineral that the body needs to function properly. It’s used as a building block for hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that help shuttle oxygen around your body. 
Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia, which affects about 25% of the world’s population. It’s most common in children, adolescents, and women. The usual symptoms of iron deficiency can include fatigue, dizziness, sensitivity to cold, decreased attention span and impaired mental function. 
Heme iron is naturally found in animal foods that contain hemoglobin like meat, fish and poultry. This form is more easily recognized by the body and therefore more easily absorbed than plant-based nonheme, which needs to be converted into a soluble form before it can be absorbed.  
Because of its fast absorbability, heme iron is a great option for anyone who needs to replenish iron levels quickly. This type of iron is also ideal for anyone who has difficulty getting enough iron with non-heme iron supplements. 
Studies show that heme iron benefits fetal development during pregnancy as the body’s need for iron increases during this time. It’s fast, reliable, and gentle for both mom and baby. 
CanPrev’s Heme Iron contains 11mg of bovine-sourced heme iron per capsule, plus vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids to enhance absorption. Added folate and vitamin B12 help promote red blood cell production.
