6d Sports Nutrition Iron Bisglycinate

6d Sports Nutrition Iron Ferrochel®

Highly absorbable iron to support oxygen transport and performance

6d Sports Nutrition Iron Ferrochel® contains iron in the form of iron bisglycinate (Ferrochel®), a highly bioavailable form of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. The formula is enriched with vitamin C.

Iron plays a crucial role in the body, particularly in oxygen transport in the blood, muscle function, and energy metabolism. Adequate iron levels are essential for maintaining optimal athletic performance, especially in endurance sports where efficient oxygen delivery to the muscles is critical.

Iron intake and dietary sources

Iron can be found in many everyday foods such as meat, fish, potatoes, grains, and legumes. However, it is important to distinguish between two forms of iron:

• Heme iron, found in animal products, which is absorbed relatively easily

• Non-heme iron, found in plant-based foods, which is absorbed less efficiently

Because of this difference in absorption, vegetarians and vegans often have higher iron requirements.

Recommended daily iron intake is approximately:

• 8–11 mg for men

• 15–18 mg for women

For individuals following a vegetarian diet, requirements are typically higher:

• 15 mg for men

• 33 mg for women

Iron deficiency and athletic performance

Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies among athletes, particularly in endurance sports and among female athletes.

Low iron levels can reduce the body’s ability to transport oxygen to the muscles, which may lead to:

• faster fatigue

• reduced training intensity

• decreased endurance performance

Severe iron deficiency can result in iron-deficiency anemia, significantly impacting athletic performance and recovery.

Increasing iron intake in individuals with iron deficiency has been shown to improve endurance capacity and reduce fatigue.

Ferrochel® – a highly bioavailable form of iron

This product contains iron in the form of iron bisglycinate (Ferrochel®), a premium and highly bioavailable form of iron that is gentler on the stomach and better absorbed than many traditional iron salts.

Iron bisglycinate is also suitable for vegan diets.
