Insufficient iron intake represents one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, affecting an estimated 2 billion people worldwide, with women and children being considered the highest risk groups.¹ Each teaspoon serving of Liquid Iron provides 15 mg of iron from microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate, a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated form of iron. In a clinical trial on 122 premenopausal women with low iron levels, daily supplementation with 18 mg of microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate improved iron status within 4 weeks.²

Iron is a chemical element with the symbol Fe. Biologically speaking, Iron is an essential trace mineral found within all living organisms. The most commonly studied and well-known compounds of iron within the human body are the heme proteins, as in hemoglobin and myoglobin.

Iron uptake and storage is carefully regulated in the body. A protein called transferrin which binds iron absorbed from the duodenum, and carries it to the blood cells, is a major part of this regulation. Iron is stored in the body as ferritin.
