Nutritional Supplements and Vitamins For A Healthy Lifestyle

Iron is a mineral that is an essential constituent of blood and muscle, and is required for the transport of oxygen. The primary role of iron relates to the ability of red blood cells to adequately carry oxygen to sustain the body’s cellular support. When the body is deficient of iron serious medical problems can arise. Iron deficiency is the single most common nutrient deficiency in the world.

Iron deficiency is a common problem with most women, particularly pregnant women. A small percentage of men also suffer from iron deficiency. Iron deficiency is a frequent concern for post weight loss surgery (WLS) patients. When iron deficiency progresses to anemia, and anemia is finally detected, an unbalanced condition has already been reached. The key to successful iron supplementation is patient compliance. Pharmics has developed iron supplements that overcome the stigma of iron of therapy, better tolerated for better compliance and absorption.

Multivitamin and prenatal vitamins provide essential nutrients that may be lacking from our diet. For a mother’s health, and the health of her baby, it is recommended she take prenatal vitamins during pregnancy. Prenatal vitamins are specially formulated multivitamins that make up for any nutritional deficiencies in the mother’s diet, particularly folic acid, iron, and calcium. Folic acid may reduce the risk of having a baby with a serious birth defect of the brain and spinal cord.
