Many people suffer from iron deficiency or iron deficiency anaemia and turn to conventional iron supplements to replenish their stores. But what many do not realise is that not every form of iron is safe and effective for our body. In fact, unbound, so-called “free” iron that is not completely absorbed by the body can pose a considerable danger to our cells.
Why is free iron a problem?
Free iron circulating in the body can lead to the formation of free radicals. These aggressive molecules attack cells and promote oxidative stress, which can in turn damage cell membranes, proteins and even our DNA. Scientific studies show that this process can contribute to inflammation and, in the long term, to chronic diseases. [1] Free iron is therefore not only inefficient, but also potentially dangerous and harmful to health.
The natural advantage of Natural Iron from artgerecht
Natural Iron from artgerecht relies on a special combination that transports iron precisely to where it is actually needed – while at the same time minimising free iron in the blood. This is made possible by a combination of natural iron, vitamin C and the body's own transport protein lactoferrin.
- Effective absorption thanks to natural sources: Natural Iron contains iron from plant sources that is naturally well bioavailable for the body. Plant-based iron is absorbed more slowly and efficiently than synthetic preparations and causes fewer side effects such as stomach problems.
- Lactoferrin – the safe iron transporter: Lactoferrin is a natural protein that transports iron in the body's cells in a targeted and safe way. Studies show that lactoferrin acts as a natural “iron carrier” and thus significantly reduces the risk of free iron and oxidative stress in the blood [2]. This means: less free iron, less potential cell damage.
- Vitamin C for improved absorption: Vitamin C is known to promote iron absorption. In combination with lactoferrin, it acts like a catalyst that brings iron directly into the cells and maximises uptake. As a result, you need less iron to refill your stores – and reduce the risk of overdosing.
Health and efficacy combined – Natural Iron from artgerecht
At artgerecht, your health comes first; symptoms of iron deficiency can be very diverse. We have examined the topic of iron deficiency in depth at the physiological level in order to develop an iron supplement in a form that is both safe and effective. With Natural Iron we offer a high-quality product that not only supports your iron balance in a natural way, but also protects your cells from the harmful effects of free iron. Scientifically grounded and carefully developed – for healthy iron supply without compromise.
