Chelated Iron

Iron is one of the most important elements in nutrition and of fundamental importance to life.

It is a key component of proteins which carry oxygen in the blood and muscles. Iron must be supplied by the diet, yet dietary iron is poorly absorbed. GNLD’s Chelated Iron features whole-food iron from blackstrap molasses, and is chelated with amino acids for improved absorption.


Size Availability:
100 Tablets (#2786)

Why Iron?
- Iron is essential for overall well-being.
- It is present in every living cell of the human body.
- Iron helps maintain healthy red blood cells which play a role in oxygen transportation.
- On average, only 10% of the iron ingested in foods is absorbed and utilized for crucial bodily functions.

Why GNLD Chelated Iron?
- High potency and purity - from pharmaceutical-grade iron.
- Chelated for improved absorption - In our unique chelation process, pharmaceutical-grade iron is bound to naturally occurring amino acids derived from milk protein. In this exclusive process, two amino acid molecules bond with each iron atom to form our exclusive 2-to-1 iron-amino acid chelate. Tests show that amino acid chelation improves iron absorption.
- Whole food iron from naturally iron-rich blackstrap molasses.

Product Features:
- Pharmaceutical-grade raw material provides high purity and high potency.
- Amino acid chelation for improved absorption.
- Contains blackstrap molasses, a naturally iron-rich whole-food source.

Dosage:
Take 1 tablet daily as a supplementary source of iron.

Diet and Nutrition

The Difference Between Diet and Nutrition


When we hear the word nutrition, we often think of healthy foods. But healthy foods are really part of the diet. Our cells can only benefit from good nutrition if the foods in the diet are broken down into building blocks small enough to absorb. To sum it up, diet is what we eat, but nutrition is what our cells and tissues actually receive. In fact, there are six stages that make up good nutrition.

Our Scientific Advisory Board understands this distinction well, which is why each NeoLife Nutritional product was formulated to support one or more of these vital stages so cells may receive the balanced nutrition they need.



Stage 1: Diet



A good diet is the first step to ensuring our bodies receive the proper balance of nutrients necessary for optimal health. Diet consists of all the foods, liquids, and supplements that we consume daily. Sometimes our diets fall short of recommendations, so the goal of NeoLife Nutritionals is to improve the overall quality of the diet. Supplementation can help fill in dietary “gaps”.



Stage 2: Digestion



Digestion begins with chewing and includes the action of acids and enzymes. It’s the process by which complex foods are broken down into simple substances that the body can use for energy and support of cells and tissues.

Each NeoLife Nutritional product is formulated for easy and complete digestion, Specific ingredients, such as enzymes or nutrients that improve digestion, are included in our products. Tableting technologies that we employ assure rapid disintegration and dissolution to make tablet digestion easier.



Stage 3: Absorption



Absorption is the process by which the products of digestion—simple sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, etc.—pass through the lining of the intestinal wall and are taken directly into the body’s circulatory system.

Each product is formulated for optimal absorption, providing essential nutrients to the bloodstream where they are then carried to all cells of the body.



Stage 4: Circulation



Transporting the absorbed nutrients to each cell of the body is the role of the circulatory system. We may be eating properly, digesting properly, and absorbing nutrients properly, but if our circulation is impaired, nutrients may not reach their cellular destinations.

Our products are formulated to support optimal functioning of the body’s lifeline to health.



Stage 5: Assimilation



Assimilation is the delicate process by which nutrients are passed through the membranes which surround each living cell. Proper assimilation is essential for the body’s cells to grow, repair, and rebuild themselves. Many scientists believe that aging of organs and tissues occurs when cells deteriorate faster than the body can repair them.

Many of our products include vital lipids and sterols from whole grains to support the cells’ ability to assimilate nutrients.



Stage 6: Elimination



The final stage of nutrition is the efficient elimination of wastes from the body. This begins at the cellular level and is completed through many other metabolically-active areas such as the skin, kidneys, lungs, and colon. It is essential that wastes are completely and regularly eliminated from the body.

NeoLife Nutritionals have been formulated to help the cells and the body eliminate wastes efficiently and naturally.

Just as all the nutrients used by the body are utilized in combination; the six stages of nutrition are interrelated. Each one influences the activities of the others. Each NeoLife Nutritional product is formulated to provide essential nutrients and optimal support of one or more of these vital stages.
