EXTREME VEGETARIAN IRON ASSIMILATOR Iron is a mineral found in the largest amounts throughout the bloodstream. It is present in several different food sources including, but not limited to liver, green leafy vegetables, dried beans, blackstrap molasses, meats, dried fruits, almonds, shellfish as well as certain herbs. Eating a variety of these Iron enriched foods is the best way to receive an adequate amount of Iron. Lack of proper nutrition tends to be the most common cause of Iron deficiency, especially among vegetarians. Research has found that certain substances such as tea, coffee, wheat bran, egg yolk, antacids, and an overuse of calcium supplements have been caused to inhibit Iron absorption causing an Iron deficiency. Therefore, supplementation of Iron is suggested. Iron is a mineral essential for a healthy immune system as well as energy production. The most important role Iron plays is in the production of hemoglobin and myoglobin, as well as the oxygenation of red blood cells. Hemoglobin is known as the carrier of oxygen in the blood, while myoglobin is a form of hemoglobin located within the muscle tissue. Iron isn?t considered as a complex mineral, but there are two different forms (ferric or ferrous). One form of Iron is called Ferric, which is iron in an oxidized state. The second form is known as ferrous which is the reduced state of iron that is easily assimilated in the blood. In order for absorption to take place, the iron must be in its ferrous form. Ferric iron can oxidize Vitamin E along with any other antioxidant. This causes the antioxidants to temporarily lose their ability to ?serve and protect? other cells against the oxidation process. Olympian Labs has chosen ferrous succinate in the Extreme Vegetarian Iron Assimilator formula. There are several reasons for Iron deficiency such as a decrease in nutrition, blood loss or depletion in Iron absorption. Those who risk suffering Iron deficiency tend to be infants under two years of age, teenage girls, pregnant women and the elderly. Excessive menstrual bleeding tends to be the common cause of Iron deficiency in women during their childbearing years. Iron deficiency results from loss of blood as a result of bleeding peptic ulcers, hemorrhoids as well as blood donations. Vegetarians are primarily considered as those with a decrease in nutrition due to an inadequate consumption of Iron. While Vegetarians have an inadequate amount of Iron intake, the elderly have a decrease in their absorption caused by a lack of hydrochloric acid secretion, which facilitates absorption in their stomachs. Furthermore, people with severe perspiration or strenuous workouts can suffer from Iron depletion. The most common symptoms of Iron deficiency include anemia, excessive menstrual blood loss, brittle hair and/or hair loss, difficulty swallowing, dizziness, fatigue, obesity, learning disabilities usually found among the youth, immune deficiencies and nervousness. It also impairs the delivery of
