Description
Go Iron For Women is formulated for women since women are most likely to suffer from iron deficiency.
Listed are examples of nutrients provided by Go Iron For Women:
Iron - Since iron requirements increase during mentruation and when the diet is unable to provide sufficient amount of it (particularly for vegetarians).
Zinc - Which is important for a variety of processes such as immune and thyroid functions.
Vitamin B1 - Involved in the processing of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. It is also required for the production of ATP (body's energy source) and normal nerve cell function.
Vitamin B2 - Needed for processing fats and amino acids, metabolising carbohydrates to produce energy and activating vitamins B6 and B9 (folic acid). It also has antioxidant properties.
Vitamin B3 - This is involved in the processing of alcohol, required for the formation of fat from carbohydrates and needed for the production of energy from carbohydrates.
Vitamin B5 - Plays a role in the energy production process, needed for producing, transporting and releasing energy from fat, involved in the production of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) and needed to make cholesterol (which is required for the production of vitamin D and steroid hormones).
Vitamin B6 - Needed to make and take apart amino acids and involved in the production of the hormones melatonin, serotonin and dopamine.
Vitamin B7 (biotin) - This is required for the metabolism of protein, fats and carbohydrates.
Vitamin B9 (folic acid) - Involved in cell replication and growth and is needed by rapidly growing cells (like those in a fetus) and rapidly regenerating cells (like red blood cells and immune cells). Also needed to carry out normal protein synthesis.
Vitamin B12 - Required for normal nerve cell activity, DNA replication and acts with vitamin B6 to help manage levels of homocysteine (excess of which may increase the risk of cardiovascular problems).
Vitamin C - Which plays a role in processes such as immune function.
