Spirulina enriched with iron

The plant-based alternative to iron supplementation

Spirulina, naturally enriched with iron, is a plant-based alternative to iron supplements to combat iron deficiency.

Why iron-enriched spirulina?

The absorption rate of plant iron from iron-enriched spirulina is equivalent to that of red meat , it is highly assimilable.

Iron-enriched spirulina meets 93% of the recommended daily intake at the indicated doses. This iron supplement is particularly well tolerated and does not present any adverse effects (constipation, intestinal pain, nausea, etc.) often attributed to conventional allopathic treatments.

Spirulina also contains proteins, vitamins, minerals and pigments such as beta carotene (pro vitamin A), vitamin E, magnesium, zinc, calcium, selenium, etc.

We then benefit from all the benefits of algae to fight fatigue.

Spirulina enriched with iron allows you to recharge your batteries in the long term.

The benefits of iron-enriched spirulina

The iron in enriched spirulina is easily absorbed by the body (at levels equivalent to those in red meat).

The benefits of iron supplementation have been demonstrated. Iron contributes to:

  • to normal cognitive function.
  • to a normal energy metabolism.
  • to the normal transport of oxygen in the body
  • to the normal functioning of the immune system.
  • to reduce fatigue.
  • to the normal cognitive development of children

Iron-enriched spirulina, for whom?

Iron supplementation is recommended for:

  • Treating iron deficiency
  • Preventing iron deficiency in populations most at risk:
  • Teenage girls, from the first period when they are still growing
  • Women who have already been iron deficient
  • Athletes: destruction of red blood cells + micro-loss of blood due to micro-muscle lesions.
  • Vegetarians or vegans whose diet excludes red meat, the main source of heme iron
  • Women who have heavy periods
  • Women who wear a copper IUD are responsible for heavy bleeding.
  • Pregnant women due to maternal blood expansion and increased needs for fetal development

Iron deficiency can be strongly suspected in an at-risk person presenting symptoms of iron deficiency or through a biological assessment (ferritin level < 30 µg/L).
