Life Blood Builder with Ferrochel from Albion Minerals
Life Blood Builder's many unique attributes support its
superior role as an iron supplement in humans. These
include:
*Small, stable molecule with no ionic charge
*Does not react with other nutrients
*Bioavailable (easily absorbed)
*Safe
*Less gastric upset
Small, stable and non-reactive, the Ferrochel
molecule is better absorbed.
Because small protein peptides are easier for the body to absorb,
the body will combine inorganic minerals with amino acids to take
advantage of the intestine’s affinity for protein absorption. This
binding process is called chelation (key-lay-shun). Life Blood
Builder's Ferrochel does the stomach’s work in advance by
binding minerals to amino acids resulting in small, organic chelated
iron molecules that can pass easily through the intestinal wall.
When a mineral salt is dissolved in the stomach, the mineral
becomes a charged ion that can block absorption of other nutrients or
combine with other dietary factors to form unabsorbable compounds.
This is particularly true of iron, which can deactivate nutrients such
as vitamin E and ascorbic acid and block uptake of minerals like
calcium. The Ferrochel molecule is ionically neutral -- it carries no
electrical charge. This neutrality ensures that the mineral does not
react with other nutrients and is delivered to the intestine for
absorption .
Even with Life Blood Builder's enhanced bioavailability, it
is extremely safe.
Life Blood Builder's absorption is controlled by body iron stores
with greater amounts generally being absorbed by individuals with
lower iron status. A body suffering iron-deficiency anemia may uptake
90 percent of the iron, while a body that is not iron deficient may
only take up 10 percent -- or just the amount that body needs enough
to offset losses in metabolism. Ferrochel has been found to be 2.6-
times safer than iron sulfate and safer than typical inorganic iron
found in foods and dietary supplements.
The safety and effectiveness of Life Blood Builder is of particular
importance in children. Iron deficiency anemia is closely tied to
higher mortality, delayed physical development, impairment of
cognitive functions and psychomotor development in prenatal and infant
development. Ferrochel's ability to safely and effectively deliver
critical iron during these critical stages of development is
significant.
Compared to inorganic iron, Life Blood Builder causes less
gastric upset
In clinical research comparing inorganic iron to Life Blood
Builder's Ferrochel, a significant number of study participants
preferred Ferrochel and reported fewer instances of gastrointestinal
(GI) upset than with ferrous sulfate, which is typically associated
with gastric side effects such as constipation and nausea.
