Iron is a crucial mineral for maintaining energy, supporting the immune system, and promoting overall health. If you're looking for natural ways to help raise and maintain healthy iron levels, Young Living's essential oils and supplements offer fantastic options that are much better than the stuff at your local grocery store!
LOW IRON AT A GLANCE
Common symptoms of low iron include fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and difficulty concentrating.
Iron-rich foods, supplements, and proper nutrient absorption can go a long way to raising iron levels.
Pairing iron with vitamin C improves absorption and supports gut health for optimal results.
THE POWER OF NINGXIA RED
NingXia Red is a nutrient-packed drink that plays a key role in so many areas of health, including supporting iron levels.
NingXia Red supports energy, immune function, and overall vitality.
NingXia Red is clinically proven to lower the effects of stress and improve sleep.
NingXia Red also includes citrus essential oils, which support health and immunity.
NingXia Red is rich in wolfberries (goji berries), which contain iron and vitamin C—a combination that provides the body with iron and also enhances iron absorption. Additionally, the robust antioxidant content of NingXia Red supports healthy blood cells and reduces oxidative stress.
LOW IRON AND MINERAL BALANCE
Balancing minerals is essential for maintaining healthy iron levels because several key minerals play supportive roles in iron absorption, storage, and utilization. In fact, many individuals who have low iron on a blood test focus on mineral balance and whole-food supplements to get iron levels back where they need to be.
Improves Iron Absorption: Minerals like zinc and copper are crucial for the enzymes that help absorb iron in the intestines. A deficiency in these minerals can lead to inefficient iron uptake.
Enhances Iron Metabolism: Magnesium and selenium help with overall nutrient metabolism, including the processes that involve iron utilization in the body.
Supports Hemoglobin Production: Copper plays a direct role in forming hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen and requires iron.
Promotes Cellular Health: A balanced mineral profile ensures that cells responsible for producing blood and maintaining oxygen transport functions operate optimally.
Prevents Imbalances: Excess or deficiencies in one mineral can interfere with others. For example, too much calcium can inhibit iron absorption, while a lack of magnesium can affect energy production and overall metabolism, indirectly impacting iron.
