Liquid Iron, 118 ml, Childlife Essentials Maintains optimal blood and tissue iron levels. Benefits: 1. contains bisglycinate iron which is a form of chelated iron (two molecules of the amino acid glycine are covalently linked to one iron molecule) which provides:digestive tolerance: does not produce constipation, nausea, metallic taste, manifestations that may occur in the case of administration of inorganic iron supplements (in the stomach bisglycinate iron does not dissociate into iron and glycine)increased bioavailability: - bisglycinate iron is easily absorbed due to the increased affinity of small intestine cells for amino acids (glycine) - bisglycinate iron molecule being electrically neutral does not adhere to the intestinal wall and does not form with other substances (e.g.: phytates, oxalates, polyphenols, some drugs, etc.) insoluble compounds that cannot be used by the body and are eliminated through feces, reducing the absorption of both iron and other substances - increased iron transfer capacity in the blood due to the low molecular mass (about 204 Daltons):safety in administration: - does not produce toxicity: after absorption in the intestinal mucosa bisglycinate iron is broken down into iron and glycine and used according to the needs of the body - does not block the absorption of other nutrients (e.g.: vitamin E, vitamin C, calcium): iron bisglycinate is absorbed at the protein receptors in the small intestine, leaving the receptors for the other groups of nutrients free - does not change the properties of the food in which it is added 2. natural fruit taste, loved by children 3. reaches up to 47 days of administration Contribute to: Iron is an essential element for the health of the body. It plays an important role in tissue oxygenation, immune system development, connective tissue integrity, cardiovascular health and cognitive development. Iron is an important component of hemoglobin, myoglobin and ferritin. These proteins are involved in the transport, storage and release of oxygen in tissues. Iron deficiency in the body is common in infants over six months and young children. normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin the normal transport of oxygen in the body normal cognitive function reducing fatigue and exhaustion normal energy metabolism normal functioning of the immune system the process of normal cell divisionComposition: Per 1 teaspoon (5ml) Iron 10 mg (bisglycinate) Administration;Children under 1 year : ½ – 1 teaspoon/day Children 1-4 years: ½ -1 teaspoon/day Children over 4 years : 1 teaspoon/day or as recommended by the specialist consultant. Administer plain or mixed with the childs favorite drink. Shake well before use. Accidental overdose with products containing iron is fatal for children under 6 years of age. Presentation: 118 ml
