How to treat fatigue from iron-deficiency exhaustion
Without enough iron, your body can't produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (haemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anaemia may leave you tired.
Symptoms can include:
- Tiredness and lack of energy
- Shortness of breath
- Noticeable heartbeats (heart palpitations)
- Pale skin
There are many reasons why you may be iron deficient such as monthly blood loss, pregnancy or if you follow a plant based diet but don’t consume enough iron-rich foods.
The good news is that levels of iron can increase after consuming more iron-rich foods such as leafy greens, red meat and pulses such as beans, peas and lentils but supplementing with an iron supplement can help relieve symptoms more quickly.
Swedish Nutra have launched a new Liquid Iron which can really helps overcome this issue.
The new product contains a unique mixture of Iron (22mg) abd B Vitamins to support the maintenance of red blood cells and red blood cell formation. It also contains 160mg of Vitamin C which enhances the body's absorption of the iron. In addition, Acai and Blueberry extract are added for their antioxidant rich properties.
With Iron, Vitamin C, B1, B2, B6, B9, B12 and enriched with an organic fruit and herbal blend ingredients which support red blood formation, haemoglobin formation, maintenance of red blood cells, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy metabolism, cognitive function, and immune system.
