Blood Booster

™

Blood Booster™ contains the highest quality iron bisglycinate, a true protein/iron complex. This form of iron is highly absorbable and does not induce iron-related digestive distress or free-radical problems. Blood Booster also contains coenzyme B6, coenzyme B12, methylated folate, and vitamin C for optimum iron absorption and energy production.*

Adequate iron is vital for proper growth, building oxygenated blood, and muscle energy. Athletes, children, women, vegetarians, and elderly individuals have higher needs, although any person with muscle fatigue or shortness of breath may be lacking in iron. Vertical ridges on the nails are also a sign of low iron.*

Iron is the backbone nutrient for building oxygenated blood. Vitamins B6, B12, and folate are also needed to make healthy blood. Lacking any one of these vitamins can cause red blood cells not to form properly. Blood Booster™ contains highly superior coenzyme forms of these nutrients. Since these special coenzyme B-vitamins are already pre-energized, they require no contribution of body energy to make them work, which is a huge issue if a person is already fatigued from poor iron status.*

Iron Bisglycinate vs. Ferrous Sulfate

Iron bisglycinate is a unique form of iron that is bound to two amino acids of glycine. It demonstrates a 45 to 90 percent absorption rate, depending on a person's iron need. Low quality forms of iron, such as ferrous sulfate are only 3 percent absorbable and may induce irritation, constipation, and increased free radicals.*

Ferrous sulfate iron can "break up" in the blood and can cause digestive problems and germ growth in the digestive tract. Iron bisglycinate is a far superior and safer form of iron.*

Blood Booster™ contains the highest quality iron biglycinate along with the coenzyme forms of vitamins B6, B12, and methlyated folate. These vitamins work synergistically with iron to support healthy blood cells. Blood Booster also includes vitamin C to further enhance absorption of iron.*

Iron and Thyroid Health

Iron has been identified as a key nutrient in cells that enables thyroid/ zinc gene signals to function in metabolic pathways. A lack of iron inside cells may reduce up to 80 different gene signals that would otherwise be following "thyroid instructions." A lack of iron may handicap metabolism and cause metabolic fatigue.*

Signs of sluggish metabolism include fatigue, muscle aches, low body temperature, vertical ridges in nails, and shortness of breath. These may respond readily to iron supplementation.*

High Quality Iron for Prenatal Care

Any woman considering pregnancy should consider Blood Booster™ when preparing for pregnancy and during pregnancy. Not only does this vitamin supplement contain the most effective form of iron, it also contains significant amounts of methylated folate and coenzyme B12 methlycobalamin, important nutrients for healthy pregnancy.*

Iron Needs for Women

Iron is an essential nutrient for any woman in child bearing years. The blood loss experienced during menstruation is another reason to consider taking the Blood Booster™. Women with heavy blood flow or who notice significant fatigue during or the week following their menstrual cycle frequently feel a much better energy level taking 1-2 Blood Booster™ per day.*

Iron for Muscle Energy and Exercise

Blood Booster™ is also an excellent exercise support supplement. Muscles require iron for healthy function. Iron is part of a special muscle protein called myoglobulin, which helps muscles store oxygen. Muscles need this oxygen to sustain energy production when called to perform. Therefore, adequate iron intake helps to maintain normal oxygen function in muscles.*

Methyl Folate for Brain Health and Mood

Folate is an essential vitamin that is used for hundreds of functions in the body and must be taken in regularly for good health. Folate is vital for proper brain health and plays key roles in mental and emotional health. Blood Booster contains the activated form of folate, L-methylfolate, which is water soluble and 10 times more bioavailable than regular folic acid. It is estimated that 38 percent of people are unable to convert folic acid into the active methylated state, 5-Methyltetrahydrofolic acid, either because of a genetic polymorphism and/or nutritional insufficiency. L-methylfolate is already in the methylated folate form, ensuring that you get the most benefit from your folate supplement.*
