Haemo-Red® Plus Haemo-Red® Plus uses iron bisglycinate which is better tolerated than inorganic forms of iron and is less likely to cause constipation, bloating and nausea. This efficacious formula includes vitamin C, folate, vitamins B1, B3 and B12, along with activated vitamins B2 and B6.
Indications • May assist in the management of inadequate dietary intake. • May help maintain iron levels. • Low levels of iron may result from poor diet, poor digestion, menstrual bleeding and malabsorption. • Can assist in maintaining normal blood. • Provides 500 mcg of folic acid, which when taken daily for one month before conception and during pregnancy, may reduce the risk of having a child with spina bifida/neural tube defects. • An iron supplement with cofactors to assist in times of increased demand such as pregnancy, lactation, the elderly, athletes and vegetarians.
Patients Who May Benefit From Iron and Cofactors Include Those With: • Increased demand - pregnant women, teenagers, children. • Low dietary intake - vegetarians, vegans. • Increased blood losses - athletes, menstruating women, occult losses. • Impaired digestion and absorption. • Medication use - antacids, proton-pump inhibitors reduce absorption. • Increased intake of dietary inhibitors of iron absorption - calcium, oxalates, phosvitin, phytates and tannins.

Essential Roles of Iron Iron is incorporated into a variety of proteins including haemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochromes and redox enzymes. Haemoglobin is essential for the transport of oxygen to body tissues. Haem-containing cytochromes are involved in cellular energy production, detoxification pathways and hormone biosynthesis. Not all iron supplements are equal! Many iron supplements cause gastrointestinal irritation or constipation, which is the result of the form of iron used. Haemo-Red® Plus contains iron bisglycinate. This form of iron is highly bioavailable and less likely to cause digestive discomfort.
