How Do I Take Iron Repair?
Heme iron naturally has a better bsorption rate than non-heme iron, but how do we take Iron Repair to optimize absorption?
- Take 1-2 Capsules at a time; Separate doses by at least 2-3 Hours (or as directed by doctor)
Why: Our bodies are designed with a safety system in place to protect us from too much iron. Heme absorption is a 'saturable pathway', that just means that when all the absorption sites are full your body won't allow any more in. Iron Repair's dosage is formulated with that safety system in mind. Therefore, by allowing at least 2-3 hours between each dose, your body is able to maximize absorption and minimize waste..*
- Take WITH or WITHOUT food
Why: heme iron absorption is *not* blocked by the MANY things that interfere with non-heme absorption.
Heme is not blocked by coffee, tea, eggs, phytates, polyphenols, magnesium.
Heme does NOT require an acidic environment for absorption, so you don't need Vitamin C & those on acid reducers are able to absorb heme iron.*
Why: Our bodies need proper hydration to function and absorb nutrients properly.
When it's time to take Iron Repair, use that opportunity to drink a glass of water to ensure your body has the hydration it needs to do all the amazing things it does.
- Take Consistently to See Improvement
Why: When dealing with iron deficiency, it takes time to restore your iron levels.
- Work With Your Doctor to Ensure Optimal Iron Levels
Why: Knowledge is power. Being an active participant in your health by working with your doctor & monitoring your bloodwork will help to ensure you reach optimal levels.
