Having low iron levels is often an unaddressed issue that results in people having anemia, weakness, and other diseases. Most standard iron supplements aren't as effective because the mineral isn't processed by the body properly. All that can change with the NuMedica Liposomal Iron. These encapsulated powder liposomal instruments are absorbed better, helping the body boost red blood cell production and treat issues associated with iron deficiency.

A New Way to Deliver Iron

NuMedica's Liposomal Iron is more than your typical iron capsules that simply dissolve in the stomach or intestine. These capsules contain liposomes, which are tiny, spherical structures that hold the iron supplement in their core. As artificial structures, the liposomes have a lipid bilayer that's hydrophobic - a surface that repels water. The same mechanism is found in liquid and powder liposomes, the latter being what the NuMedica Liposomal Iron is made of.

The closest analogy of liquid and powder liposomes is a grape and a raisin. The grape is the liquid liposome, which retains its form throughout its passage in the digestive system. On the other hand, the powder liposome is a raisin that plumps up as it passes through the small intestine.

Better Absorption for Maximum Benefits

More conventional iron supplements simply dissolve in the stomach and small intestine. Because of this mechanism, nutrient absorption is not as effective, and you might not feel immediate results after taking iron supplements. In addition, you may end up buying more iron supplements just to make them work.

The liposomal structure of the NuMedica Liposomal Iron capsules ensures that iron reaches the cells intact. Since the lipid bilayer layer resists water, it won't dissolve in the stomach. With this feature, the iron you absorb is equal to the iron you've taken - no waste at all. The powder form also ensures a slower release of the iron payload, which helps the body adjust to the increased levels of iron.

Boost Your Red Blood Cell Levels

Many of us may not recognize the symptoms of low red blood cell count, or anemia, at first. Most of the signs can be attributed to stress and other more well-known issues. However,  anemia can cause long-term damage if left unchecked. Thankfully, this issue can be treated if iron deficiency is addressed.

NuMedica Liposomal Iron capsules are created to directly treat low iron levels in the body. This supplement provides the correct daily amount of iron the body needs. With enough of the mineral, the body can manufacture more red blood cells. The higher levels of red blood cells make it easier for cells to get oxygen and perform their function. By extension, you have higher energy levels, an improved immune system, and better overall health.

Avoiding Iron Deficiency

Iron deficiency does not just affect the blood. Many other parts of the body use this mineral to manufacture proteins and amino acids essential to their normal processes. Iron is also needed during pregnancy to support the healthy development of the baby. In addition, iron contributes to good cognitive health, enhancing our attention spans, intelligence, and decision-making abilities.

Modern lifestyles, especially ones that shy away from meat-based foods, may result in iron deficiency. This issue can affect pregnancy, healthy brain function, and many other processes in the body. Thankfully, the NuMedica Liposomal Iron has more than enough for the daily iron needs of people, especially women. Even if you have a vegetarian lifestyle, you can still get your daily iron needs with the supplement.

Vegetarian and Gluten-free Capsules

The NuMedica Liposomal Iron capsules aren't made of gelatin or other types of animal by-products. These are vegetable-based, so vegetarians can enjoy the benefits of the iron supplement without changing their lifestyles. In addition, each 18 mg capsule is gluten-free. You won't feel bloated, gassy, or sick after taking the supplement, even if you have gluten intolerance.
