The iron protein succinylate in this formula is a highly absorbable form of iron and is easier on the stomach than other forms of iron. (lifeextension.com)
The human body needs iron as an essential part of supporting hemoglobin, an oxygen-carrying protein abundant in red blood cells. (lifeextension.com)
That one-two combination makes Iron Protein Plus an ideal formula for anyone who needs to supplement their iron intake. (lifeextension.com)
Almost two-thirds of the iron in the body (approximately 2.5 grams of iron) is found in hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen to tissues. (cdc.gov)
Elemental iron5
Many prenatal vitamins contain significant quantities of iron, and ferrous sulfate tablets (20% elemental iron) are routinely administered to postpartum women, many of whom have toddlers in the family. (medscape.com)
The potential severity of iron poisoning depends on the amount of elemental iron ingested. (medscape.com)
Calculation of the amount of elemental iron ingested involves the number of tablets ingested and the percentage of elemental iron in the salt that the tablets contain. (medscape.com)
Children may show signs of toxicity with ingestions of 10-20 mg/kg of elemental iron. (medscape.com)
The average American diet, which contains 6 mg of elemental iron/1000 kcal of food, is adequate for ironhomeostasis. (msdmanuals.com)
The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 mandates that mine drainage discharge water meet quality standards for pH, iron, manganese, and total suspended solids. (cdc.gov)
This treatment satisfies the effluent standards for pH and iron, but may not remove much manganese from the water. (cdc.gov)
Typical acid mine drainage contains 1 to 8 mg/L manganese, but concentrations of 50 to 100 mg/L are not uncommon. (cdc.gov)
Concentrations1
Acute experimental exposures of humans to lower concentrations of zinc oxide (14 mg/m3 for 8 hours or 45 mg zinc/m3 for 20 minutes) and occupational exposures to low concentrations of zinc (8-12 mg zinc/m3 for 1-3 hours and 0.034 mg zinc/m3 for 6-8 hours) did not produce symptoms of metal fume fever. (cdc.gov)
Doses1
Other ferrous salts are used and may cause less intestinal discomfort because they contain smaller doses of iron (25-50 mg). (medscape.com)
Proteins2
Iron is also an integral part of many other proteins that help maintain overall health. (lifeextension.com)
Iron functions as a component of proteins and enzymes. (cdc.gov)
Myoglobin1
In the human body, iron is present in all cells and has several vital functions -- as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the form of hemoglobin (Hb), as a facilitator of oxygen use and storage in the muscles as myoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in various tissues. (cdc.gov)
Deficiency is the most common1
Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency. (cdc.gov)
Pregnant2
In children, iron deficiency causes developmental delays and behavioral disturbances, and in pregnant women, it increases the risk for a preterm delivery and delivering a low-birthweight baby. (cdc.gov)
CDC emphasizes sound iron nutrition for infants and young children, screening for anemia among women of childbearing age, and the importance of low-dose iron supplementation for pregnant women. (cdc.gov)
Human bodies absorb hemeiron better than nonheme iron, but most iron in our diets is nonheme iron (Miret 2003). (cdc.gov)
Liver4
Iron exerts both local and systemic effects and is corrosive to the gastrointestinal mucosa and can directly affect the heart, lungs, and liver. (medscape.com)
transferrin can transport iron from cells (intestinal, macrophages) to specific receptors on erythroblasts, placental cells, and liver cells. (msdmanuals.com)
281). Routine evaluation of liver and heart iron content using MRI T2* is suggested to better evaluate the haemosiderosis status in thalassemia patients. (who.int)
The increased So it has been suggested that a direct Sample size iron deposition coming from multiple estimation of heart iron overload using life-long transfusions and enhanced heart T2* imaging is more useful in The primary outcome of interest was ironabsorption leads to organ dysfunc- evaluating the state of heart iron over- the relation between ferritin and liver tion [3,4]. (who.int)
Ferric3
Following absorption, ferrous iron is converted to ferric iron, and an unbuffered hydrogen ion is liberated. (medscape.com)
Dietary nonheme iron is usually in the ferric state (+3) and must be reduced to the ferrous state (+2) and released from food binders by gastric secretions. (msdmanuals.com)
The ethanolic extracts of mulberry leaves from the Sakon Nakhon cultivar showed the highest total phenolic content of 49.68 mg GAE/g extract and antioxidant activities of 4.38 mg GAE/g extract, 4.53 mg TEAC/g extract, and 92.78 mg FeSO4/g extract using 2,2 diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,20-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazolin-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assays, respectively.

Serum iron levels2
Although iron poisoning is a clinical diagnosis, serum iron levels are useful in predicting the clinical course as well as helping to guide treatment. (medscape.com)
Red blood cells tend to be microcytic and hypochromic, and iron stores are low, as shown by low serum ferritin and low serum iron levels with high serum total iron-binding capacity. (msdmanuals.com)
Hemoglobin1
Iron salts are used as building blocks for hemoglobin synthesis in treating anemia. (medscape.com)

The mulberry leaf extracts from the Sakon Nakhon and Buriram cultivars showed oxyresveratrol contents of 1.20 ± 0.04 mg/g extract and 0.39 ± 0.02 mg/g extract, respectively, whereas resveratrol was not detected. (bvsalud.org)
Oral1
Oral solutions of ferrous iron salts are available for use in pediatric populations. (medscape.com)
Anemia9
In the past three decades, increased iron intake among infants has resulted in a decline in childhood iron-deficiency anemia in the United States. (cdc.gov)
As a consequence, the use of screening tests for anemia has become a less efficient means of detecting iron deficiency in some populations. (cdc.gov)
These recommendations update the 1989 'CDC Criteria for Anemia in Children and Childbearing-Aged Women' (MMWR 1989;38(22):400-4) and are the first comprehensive CDC recommendations to prevent and control iron deficiency. (cdc.gov)
In the United States, the prevalence of iron-deficiency anemia among children declined during the 1970s in association with increased iron intake during infancy (1-3). (cdc.gov)
Because of this decline, the value of anemia as a predictor of iron deficiency has also declined, thus decreasing the effectiveness of routine anemia screening among children. (cdc.gov)
CDC requested the Institute of Medicine to convene an expert committee to develop recommendations for preventing, detecting, and treating iron-deficiency anemia among U.S. children and U.S. women of childbearing age. (cdc.gov)
Treatment should continue for about 2 months after correction of anemia and etiological cause in order to replenish body stores of iron. (medscape.com)
Absorption3
The absorption of iron is normally very tightly controlled by the gastrointestinal (GI) system. (medscape.com)
Iron absorption is determined by its source and by what other substances are ingested with it. (msdmanuals.com)
Of about 15 mg/day of dietary iron, adults absorb only 1 mg, which is the approximate amount lost daily by cell desquamation from the skin and intestine. (msdmanuals.com)
Intestinal1
Both hematemesis and hemetachezia may develop, predominantly due to direct local corrosive effects of iron on the gastric and intestinal mucosa. (medscape.com)
Supplementation1
Supplementation with iron alone was reported to the WHO Global Nutrition Policy Review (GNPR) 2009-2010. (who.int)
Nutrition1
Preventing and controlling iron deficiency are also addressed in Nutrition and Your Health: Dietary Guidelines for Americans (14). (cdc.gov)
Overload3
In addition, chronic iron overload may develop in pediatric cancer patients who receive multiple transfusions. (medscape.com)
At one center, iron overload was diagnosed in 37% of pediatric patients who received 10 or more transfusions. (medscape.com)
Iron is concentrated intracellularly in mitochondria and disrupts oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in free radical formation and lipid peroxidation. (medscape.com)
For heme synthesis, transferrin transports iron to the erythroblast mitochondria, which insert the iron into protoporphyrin IX for it to become heme. (msdmanuals.com)
Overdose3
Accidental overdose of iron-containing products is a leading cause of fatal poisoning in children under 6. (drclark.com)
Severe iron toxicity may occur in overdose, especially when ingested by children. (medscape.com)
