Ferrasorb
Thorne’s Ferrasorb is an iron and B-vitamin complex designed to support the formation of healthy red blood cells, combat iron deficiency, and minimize the typical side effects of iron supplementation. This formula may be especially beneficial for individuals prone to iron or B-vitamin deficiencies, including:
-
Those at Risk for Anemia: Ferrasorb provides a well-absorbed form of iron (Ferrochel® chelate) to support healthy red blood cell function, addressing iron-deficiency anemia, which can present as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
-
Women of Menstruating Age: Monthly blood loss increases the risk of iron deficiency, making Ferrasorb a supportive option for maintaining healthy iron levels.
-
Vegans and Vegetarians: Plant-based diets may be lower in bioavailable iron and certain B vitamins, so Ferrasorb helps bridge this nutritional gap by supplying essential nutrients for red blood cell formation.
-
Individuals with Impaired Nutrient Absorption: Older adults, those with reduced stomach acid, individuals who have had gastric bypass surgery, and those with gastrointestinal issues can have difficulty absorbing iron, making a chelated form of iron beneficial.
Key Benefits of Ferrasorb:
- Optimal Iron Absorption: The iron is chelated (bound to glycine) for better absorption, reducing GI discomfort often associated with iron supplements, such as nausea and constipation.
- Red Blood Cell Support with Essential B Vitamins: In addition to iron, Ferrasorb includes active forms of B vitamins (B6, B12, and folate) essential for red blood cell production, with added vitamin C to support iron uptake.
This combination of iron and B vitamins offers a targeted solution for people experiencing symptoms of iron deficiency, such as fatigue and weakness, or who need comprehensive support for anemia. Ferrasorb may also be a good option for athletes seeking to maintain peak performance levels, given the role of iron in oxygen transport
