Iron Absorption Enhancement Formula

Iron is an essential nutrient that has an important impact on the body's metabolic processes. The most important functions ensured by adequate amounts of iron in the body are related to transport and storage of oxygen, electron transfer, mediation of oxidation-reduction reactions, synthesis of hormones, the replication of DNA, cell cycle restoration and control, fixation of nitrogen, and antioxidant effects. Iron deficiency is a prevalent problem affecting over two billion individuals around the globe. In the case of iron deficiency, even marginal insufficiencies may impair the proper functionality of the human body. There is a strong link between host iron concentrations and the gut microbiota, including:

• The gut microbiota increases the availability of dietary iron to the host.
• The energy obtained by bacteria depends on iron.
• Iron deficiency can lead to bacterial translocation and low diversity.
• The correct level of iron gut reduces pathogen colonization and virulence.

Iron deficiency can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor diet and increased demand during pregnancy. The most common methods of iron supplementation are related to food fortification and supplements. Probiotic supplements can help our bodies have enough iron to optimize bacterial growth, thus reducing pathogen colonization and virulence. However, due to age, disease, drugs, alcohol abuse, and heavy smoking, our intestines may not have enough capacity to absorb iron. Probiotics provide a viable therapeutic means to increase the availability of dietary iron to the host. Probiotics can act as carriers of iron and convert unavailable iron into its available form, producing metabolites that indirectly increase iron absorption from the intestine by binding to iron.

Creative Enzymes provides high-quality probiotic strains and probiotic blends to customers for academic and industrial use. These strains can be mixed with small amounts of iron to form products that have the ability to increase iron absorption and promote healthy iron levels. Please contact us for product details.
