IRON: THE OXYGEN STORAGE
The trace element iron is vital for oxygen transport. It is also a component of numerous enzymes that play an important role in energy production and detoxification in our body.
WHICH FOODS CONTAIN IRON?
In meat and sausages, offal, bread, legumes and vegetables.
ORIGIN – FUNCTION – SUPPLY
Of all the trace elements, iron is the most abundant in the human body. The largest portion is found in the red blood pigment (hemoglobin) and in muscle cells. Key functions of iron include oxygen transport, energy production, oxygen storage in the muscles, and the production of steroid hormones and neurotransmitters. Iron levels depend on the renewal rate of red blood cells. Most of the iron is recycled, so only about 1 mg per day is lost and needs to be replenished. Although food is rich in iron, it can only be utilized to a limited extent by the human body. Iron from meat is more readily available and can be absorbed up to 20 percent. Iron from plant foods can only be absorbed to the extent of 3 to 5 percent. Menstruation primarily affects women of childbearing age. However, iron supply is often inadequate during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Frequent blood donations or blood loss during surgery can also lead to a deficiency. You should consult your doctor before taking high-dose iron supplements.
USE OF IRON
Anemia: Iron deficiency is the most common cause of anemia. Iron supplementation can provide relief, especially when combined with increased vitamin C intake. High dosages should always be discussed with your doctor.
Heavy menstrual bleeding: Heavy menstrual bleeding and the associated blood loss can lead to iron deficiency. An iron supplement can help. High dosages should definitely be discussed with your doctor.
Fatigue: Persistent fatigue can also be due to iron deficiency, but it can also have other causes. Please discuss this with your doctor.
CONVENIENT IRON INTAKE IN A MODERN FORM OF DELIVERY
Medicom's Iron Direct 14 mg is easy and convenient to take. The fruity, berry-blackcurrant flavor of the direct granules in a practical stick makes supplementation easy. This dietary supplement with iron and vitamin C is taken without water. It is easy to portion. It has no metallic taste and melts instantly on the tongue. Iron Direct 14 mg in direct granules is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
Good to know: According to the National Consumption Study II, over 75% of women of childbearing age do not meet the recommended iron intake. (Source: National Consumption Study II, 2008). The German Nutrition Society (DGE) recommends a daily intake of 10 to 15 mg of iron for adolescents and adults. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consume double that amount.
WHERE HAS THE ENERGY GONE WHEN YOU NEED IT?
Being vital and productive depends on many factors. The four most important include good quality sleep, a balanced diet, regular exercise, and an adequate supply of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements. Iron deficiency doesn't only affect women. This mineral, which provides strength and regenerates the blood, affects millions of people across Germany. Only with sufficient iron can the organism develop its full potential. Since the body cannot produce iron itself, an adequate supply of this vital element is necessary. Adults need about 10 to 15 mg of iron, although women have a slightly higher requirement than men due to menstruation. With increasing age, however, changes in eating habits mean that the amounts required by the body are no longer adequately met. Many people are also unaware that normal iron absorption from the intestines is often reduced with age. The use of certain medications (e.g., acetylsalicylic acid, lipid-lowering drugs, stomach acid inhibitors, and antacids) can also impair iron absorption.
PALENESS AND TIREDNESS
Iron deficiency often manifests itself in exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and lethargy. People suffering from iron deficiency also complain of reduced performance and lack of endurance.
Medicom has expanded its product range with a new product: Iron Direct 14 mg. To make it easier to take, we opted for handy sticks. The fruity, currant-flavored granules can be taken at any time of day. The vitamin C it contains improves iron absorption. Iron Direct 14 mg is also very digestible and well-tolerated. It is gluten- and lactose-free and suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets.
Vegetarians and vegans in particular need to pay attention to their iron intake, as the most important source of iron is meat. This applies especially to red muscle meat and offal such as liver.

You ask – we answer
What is iron?
The trace elementironis vital for oxygen transport in the body. Iron is also a component of numerous enzymes that play a major role in energy production and detoxification. Of all trace elements, iron is the most abundant element in the human body. The largest proportion of iron is found in the red blood pigment (hemoglobin) and in muscle cells. The body's iron balance depends on the renewal rate of red blood cells.
Which foods contain iron?
Meat and sausage products are considered particularly iron-rich foods. Eggs, millet, whole-grain bread, spinach, legumes, chickpeas, and lentils are also sources of iron. Animal iron sources are more readily available than plant-based ones.
How much iron does a person need?
According to the German Nutrition Society, men need 10 mg of iron per day, while the recommended iron intake for women up to age 51 is 15 mg. The daily iron requirement during pregnancy is 30 mg, and for breastfeeding women, 20 mg. According to the National Consumption Study II, over 75% of women of childbearing age do not meet the recommended iron intake. (Source: National Consumption Study II, 2008).
Am I lacking iron?
A relevant point could be a sign of iron deficiency:
• Are you pale, tired or weak?
• Are you vegetarian or vegan?
• Do you have heavy periods?
• Are you pregnant or breastfeeding?
What are the effects of iron deficiency?
Symptoms of iron deficiency often manifest as exhaustion, chronic fatigue, and lethargy. People with iron deficiency symptoms complain of reduced performance and lack of stamina. Other signs of iron deficiency may include:
• Loss of appetite
• Higher susceptibility to infection
• Fatigue associated with paleness, dizziness and headache
• Brittle nails and disorders of nail and hair growth
• Cracked corners of the mouth
• Chronic diseases
What should you keep in mind when it comes to iron?
The availability of iron from plant-based foods is a maximum of 5 percent. Therefore, vegans and vegetarians in particular should ensure they have an adequate iron supply. Women of childbearing age are another group at risk for iron deficiency. As a result of blood loss during menstruation, women are more likely to suffer from iron deficiency. Iron levels are also often insufficient during pregnancy or breastfeeding. In addition, frequent blood donations or blood loss during surgery can lead to iron deficiency. Some foods inhibit iron absorption in the digestive system. Therefore, simultaneous consumption of coffee, black tea, or milk and dairy products should be avoided. Iron supplements with excessively high doses or for excessively long periods of use can have negative effects on the organism. We recommend careful dosing of iron supplements and, if higher doses are required, prior consultation with a doctor.
