The courier picks up packages from a distribution center, loads them onto trucks, and transports it to our homes. If there are not enough couriers working to keep up with the demand for deliveries, we do not receive our packages on time.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn the same way, iron picks up oxygen from the lungs, loads it onto red blood cells, and transports it to every cell in the body. Once our cells receive oxygen, they use it to make the fuel that allows our bodies to function. If we do not have enough iron to carry oxygen to our cells, we are not able to make energy, and we feel tired.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLow iron can cause more than just fatigue. When our cells are deprived of oxygen, every action in the body is affected, from our brain to our toes. This is why low iron can cause wounds to heal slowly, muscle weakness, difficulty with concentration and memory, depression, headaches, hair loss, and weaken our immune system. Iron deficiency also results in poor cognitive development, behavioral concerns, and ADHD in children.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way to understand your iron status is by having a blood test to measure something called ferritin, which is our iron storage. The tricky part about this test is that in Canada, “normal” ferritin in adults is defined as falling within the range of 5-272 ug\/L. Since this is a wide range, you can imagine that someone with a ferritin of 7 ug\/L would feel very different from someone with a ferritin level of 200 ug\/L.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIn fact, research shows that iron supplementation can be beneficial for people experiencing fatigue, even in cases where ferritin is not low enough to cause anemia. Dr. Hilary suggests aiming for ferritin of 70-100 ug\/L so that the body has enough iron to function in an optimal way.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSome groups of people are likely to have low iron, including:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVegans and vegetarians\u003cbr\u003eWomen with heavy periods\u003cbr\u003eDuring pregnancy and breastfeeding\u003cbr\u003ePeople lacking a nutrient-rich diet1\u003cbr\u003eChildren with behavioral concerns or ADHD\u003cbr\u003ePeople experiencing fatigue, depression, or brain fog\u003cbr\u003ePeople taking acid-blocking medications for heartburn\u003cbr\u003ePeople with digestive conditions such as Celiac disease, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and SIBO\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach 10 ml Contains\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eElemental Iron II (Ferrous gluconate) 10mg\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride) 2.5mg\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B2 (Riboflavin 5-phosphate sodium) 4mg\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride) 2mg\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 7.5 mcg\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients: Aqueous extracts of carrot, stinging nettle, spinach, couch grass, bitter fennel, kelp, hibiscus; juice concentrate of pear, black grape, black currant, orange, blackberry, cherry, and red beetroot; in a base of honey, extracts of rosehip, wheat germ and yeast, natural orange flavor, purified water, and ascorbic acid (antioxidant).\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains no alcohol, artificial colors or flavors, parabens, sorbates, or other agents.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eVegetarian | Dairy-Free | Kosher\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdults \u0026amp; Adolescents 14+: 10ml twice daily before meals\u003cbr\u003eChildren 10-14yrs: 10ml once daily before a meal\u003cbr\u003eChildren 5-9yrs: 5ml once daily before a meal\u003cbr\u003eChildren 2-4yrs: 4ml once daily before a meal\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eDo not use if you are allergic to the anethole or plants of the Apiaceae\/Carrot family, or if you are sensitive to Matricaria or plants of the Compositae family.

This process is called bone remodeling.\u003cbr\u003eWe also use calcium and magnesium from our bones to keep our blood and tissues in a state of homeostasis, which is the constant state of balance our bodies require to stay alive. So, our bones are not only important to allow us to run and jump, but because they also provide a resource of the minerals that keep our bodies in balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium and magnesium are also essential for our muscles to function. Every time our heartbeats, we blink, or wiggle our toes, we use calcium and magnesium to trigger the contraction and relaxation of our muscle fibers. If we are not able to get enough of these nutrients from the diet, our bodies extract them from our bones to maintain homeostasis and allow our muscles to continue to contract and relax.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLack of zinc from the diet and vitamin D from the sun also impacts the bone remodeling process and can lead to weakened and brittle bones. Zinc promotes bone growth and regeneration. Vitamin D allows us to effectively absorb calcium and is essential for the mineralization of calcium into bone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOver time, the donation of calcium and magnesium from our bones to our tissues to maintain homeostasis and muscle function results in increasingly brittle and weak bone remodeling. Low bone density, called osteoporosis, increases our risk of fractures and falls, which is a leading cause of the decline in quality of life, wellness, and independence as we age.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe loss of bone density is a slow and silent process, and we typically don’t realize that it’s happening until we’re given a diagnosis of osteoporosis, or we experience a fracture. However, 10% of Canadians over the age of 40and 21% of postmenopausal women are osteoporotic. Shockingly, after experiencing a hip fracture in Canada, 22% of women and 33% of men die in the first year and an increased risk of mortality in the remainder of hip fracture patients over the next ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThese numbers are astounding, especially given that osteoporosis is a largely preventable disease.

Our cells use this oxygen to make energy, and one of the highest demands for energy is the growth of a baby in utero.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to Health Canada, iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency during pregnancy. About 18% of pregnant women are iron deficient3, and research shows that iron deficiency during pregnancy increases the risk of maternal and infant mortality, premature birth, low birth weight, and impaired cognitive and behavioral development. Health Canada recommends supplementing 16 to 20mg of iron daily during pregnancy to reduce these risks.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThere is significant blood loss during childbirth and in the following weeks, resulting in depletion of iron stores in new moms. During breastfeeding, a baby requires high amounts of iron to continue healthy growth and development. Interestingly, breastfed babies tend to receive the same amount of iron from their mom, regardless of mom’s iron level. This means the mom preferentially gives iron to her baby through the breastmilk, depleting her own stores.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSleeplessness in new parenthood is normal, but iron deficiency is a separate and preventable cause of postpartum fatigue. Fatigue in breastfeeding women is significantly correlated with postpartum depression and early cessation of breastfeeding.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe best way to understand your iron status is by having a blood test to measure something called ferritin, which is our iron storage.
