Metabolics Iron & Vitamin C

What is Metabolics Iron & Vitamin C?

Metabolics Iron & Vitamin C delivers two essential nutrients in a highly bioavailable, well-tolerated form to support iron & vitamin C levels, immune health, and overall vitality.

Ferrous Bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron known for its excellent absorption and gentle effect on the stomach. Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) enhances the uptake of non-haem iron, making this combination particularly effective for individuals with increased iron needs or impaired absorption, such as vegetarians, menstruating women, or those recovering from illness.

Together, these nutrients help combat tiredness and fatigue, while supporting oxygen transport, red blood cell production, immune defence, and normal cognitive function.

Who is Metabolics Iron & Vitamin C for?

This formula is ideal for individuals who may have increased iron requirements or difficulty absorbing iron from diet alone, including:

·         Vegetarians and vegans relying on non-haem dietary iron
·         Menstruating women or those with heavy periods
·         Individuals experiencing low energy or fatigue
·         People recovering from illness, surgery, or blood loss
·         Athletes with higher nutrient demands
·         People with low iron status or iron-deficiency anaemia
·         Anyone seeking to support immunity, cognition, and daily energy levels
·         Those looking for combined vitamin C and iron support in one convenient formula

How Vitamin C Enhances Iron Absorption

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) enhances the absorption of iron by maintaining iron in its ferrous (Fe²) form and forming soluble complexes that are more easily absorbed in the gut. While ferrous bisglycinate is already well absorbed, pairing it with vitamin C optimises bioavailability, particularly in individuals with low stomach acid or plant-based diets.

Key Benefits of Iron & Vitamin C

Cognitive Function
Iron contributes to normal cognitive function by supporting oxygen delivery and neurotransmitter synthesis—vital for focus, memory, and mental clarity. Vitamin C complements this by aiding the production of neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, supporting overall psychological balance and nervous system health.

Energy-Yielding Metabolism
Iron plays a central role in cellular respiration and mitochondrial function, where nutrients are converted into usable energy. Vitamin C supports this process by participating in the synthesis of carnitine, a compound essential for transporting fatty acids into mitochondria. Together, they help reduce tiredness and improve physical stamina.

Formation of Red Blood Cells & Haemoglobin
Iron is an essential component of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that binds and transports oxygen. It’s also critical for red blood cell production in the bone marrow. Adequate vitamin C levels help keep iron in its absorbable ferrous form, improving uptake and supporting efficient red blood cell formation.

Oxygen Transport
Iron enables haemoglobin to bind and carry oxygen efficiently from the lungs to tissues. Low iron disrupts this process, leading to symptoms such as fatigue and reduced exercise tolerance. By enhancing iron absorption, vitamin C helps maintain optimal oxygen delivery to muscles and organs.

Immune Function
Both iron and vitamin C contribute to normal immune system function. Iron supports the development and activity of white blood cells, including lymphocytes and macrophages. Vitamin C promotes immune defence by stimulating white blood cell activity and protecting them from oxidative damage.

Reduction of Tiredness & Fatigue
Iron helps combat fatigue by supporting oxygen transport and energy metabolism, particularly in individuals with low iron stores. Vitamin C enhances this effect by facilitating iron absorption and contributing to biochemical pathways that produce energy and reduce oxidative stress.

Cell Division & Tissue Repair
Iron plays a crucial role in DNA synthesis and cell proliferation, making it vital for tissue growth and healing. Vitamin C supports this by contributing to collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining the structure and repair of skin, blood vessels, and connective tissues.

Antioxidant Defence
Vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative damage and regenerating other antioxidants such as vitamin E. This function helps preserve iron in its bioavailable form and supports the stability of cellular systems involved in immune defence and metabolism.
