Not All Iron Supplements Are the Same: What Makes Ferritin+ Different

Are you tired, foggy, or not like yourself? Low iron can quietly steal energy.

But here’s the catch: Not all iron supplements are created equally.

Some iron supplements are barely absorbed regardless of dose, but they can cause serious digestive problems.

Ferritin from Flora+ Take a fundamentally different approach. It is a smarter, gentler, clinically supported iron supplement that restores your iron levels and energy without the drama of digestive plays. Say goodbye to common complaints such as nausea and digestive discomfort.

Unpack the different Ferritin+ and why it is the iron your body has always wanted.

First: How Iron actually works in your body

Iron is like an oxygen delivery driver for your body, and without it everything will be slower.

Here’s what this multitasking essential mineral does:

Iron builds hemoglobin for healthy red blood cells

Approximately 70% of all iron in our body is found in red blood cells in the form of hemoglobin. This protein gives the blood its color, but red blood cells can also carry oxygen from the lungs to all tissues and organs.

But it only works when tied to iron. And our body’s ability to produce hemoglobin depends on the availability of iron.

Although it is a mineral, iron is stored in the body in the form of a protein called ferritin. Like the iron reserves on your body, ferritin is released every time you need it.

If your ferritin levels are low, it means your iron storehouse is depleted. This can impair hemoglobin synthesis and lead to a condition known as anemia.

According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, this is the most common nutritional disorder in the world. (1)

There is no iron = no oxygen delivery to the cells.

Iron power energy production

Your cells use oxygen to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency of your body. When cells need to infect muscles, send nerve signals, repair tissue, and more, ATP is used to achieve this. (2)

Iron helps shuttle its oxygen to cells and supports enzymes that turn food into this fuel. Low iron means less ATP, which feels like constant fatigue.

Everything from your energy levels to your brain function works more smoothly when your body has enough.

Iron supports your brain, mood and concentration

Iron helps in oxygenating the brain and is also important for the production of neurotransmitters such as serotonin, happy hormones and dopamine, which help with productivity and focus. (3)

Iron boosts immunity and supports healthy hormones

Iron plays a role in immune cell function and supports the thyroid gland, which regulates metabolism and temperature. (4), (5)

When the iron is low, your body’s defense and balance can be hit.

And you probably feel that.

When you don’t get enough iron, you may feel:

• Even if you sleep well, you are tired or drained
• Muscle strength loss
• Brain mist
• A shortness of breath during daily activities

Without sufficient iron, cells will not take up the oxygen they need. This is when symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, and shorter breath are kicked. (6)

In short, iron keeps your body healthy, sharpens your mind, and balances the system.

Other common signs you might need more iron are:

• Pale skin
• Headaches and dizziness
• Feeling chilly and cold hands and feet
• Restless feet or unusual hair removal
• Strange cravings of ice chips, dirt, clay, chalk, etc.

💡Healthy Tips: If you feel abnormally tired or foggy, it is best to check your iron levels with your healthcare provider. Iron deficiency can creep up gradually, so catching it early can make a big difference.

Disadvantages of traditional iron supplements

Our bodies cannot produce iron, so we need to pass it through food and make food intake important. However, coffee, tea and calcium-rich foods can interfere with iron intake.

So, sometimes the food isn’t enough, and sometimes you need additional support. That’s where supplements come in.

But let’s be real. Iron supplements have a reputation and are not great. If you’ve ever taken it and you’ve become bloated, constipated, or simply uncomfortable, you don’t imagine it.

Here’s why it happens and what science says:

1. Your gut isn’t a fan

Most iron supplements use iron salts in the form of ferrous sulfate, iron, iron citrate, or ferrous sulfate.

These are severe in the digestive tract and can cause nausea, convulsions, constipation, and even diarrhea.

This happens because the iron is released too quickly and overflows the system when it is ready to absorb it.

2. Side effects can be really uncomfortable

Metallic taste, dark stools, and general discomfort are common. Some of these are harmless, but when you’re trying to stick to your daily routine, they’re not exactly encouraging you.

3. Iron absorption can be difficult

Iron is easily blocked by everyday foods such as whole grains, dairy products, coffee, and spinach (thanks to compounds such as phytates and oxalates). (7)

So, many supplements tell you to take iron on your hunger, which is why it only exacerbates your intestinal problems.

This means that you may be experiencing side effects without actually getting the iron you need.

4. More iron will not improve automatically

Iron overload is a real concern, especially if you are supplementing without knowing the actual level. Excess iron accumulates in the body, leading to oxidative stress and potential damage to organs like the liver and heart (8)Therefore, it is important to properly administer the drug.

Between side effects and instructions for administration and dietary confusion, many simply stop taking iron.

A study published in an August 2024 study found that 58% of people with iron deficiency still have low iron levels even after three years of diagnosis. (9) But that doesn’t have to be.

While most traditional iron supplements come with a list of drawbacks, Ferritin+ is a supplement that supplies iron in a whole new way.

What’s different about ferritin+?

Traditional tablets often flood the system with free iron. This can overwhelm the absorption pathway, leading to side effects and inefficient absorption.

Ferritin+ gradually releases iron, making it extremely efficient in the body of transferrin, an iron transport protein. Iron that is released too much when transferrin is not present is a waste that the body must dispose of unused iron.

However, Ferritin+ is no different from traditional iron supplements.

Here’s why:

It’s food and plant based

Unlike most iron supplements, Ferritin+ is made from high quality food-based ingredients that the body recognizes more easily and uses more effectively. That means there is no digestive drama.

Instead, Ferritin+ uses ferritin iron, sourced from organic peas, iron coated with the natural proteins that your body recognizes.

This is important:

• The protein shell protects the digestive tract from stimulation.
• Allows slow, controlled release. This means improved absorption and fewer side effects.

The structure of ferritin+ reflects the way your body naturally stores iron, making it more biologically available and easier to resist.

No vitamin C or absorption booster required

Many iron supplements require joint factors like vitamin C to increase absorption.

Not ferritin+.

Thanks to its unique absorption pathway, ferritin iron bypasses the common compounds that inhibit iron in foods, such as these plants, oxalates and calcium, mentioned earlier.

translation? Without worrying about what’s on your plate, you can take ferritin+ in your meal.

Ferritin + is intestinal-friendly and easy to take

This is where Ferritin+ truly shines.

Unlike many iron supplements that cause GI pain, ferritin+ is:

• Naturally coated intestinal coating for slow release

How do you know if there is a risk of iron deficiency? It is best to talk to your doctor to discuss your risks.

Food-based support, Ferritin+ is especially ideal.

• Women 18-50 years old: Monthly cycles, pregnancy, and postpartum recovery can all deplete iron stores. A recent study published in Jama found that 40% of American women and teenage girls aged 12 to 21 had lower levels of iron (10).
• Pregnancy or nursing individuals: At these stages, iron needs increase dramatically to support both parents and babies.
• athlete: Intensive training can reduce ferritin levels, especially in endurance sports.
• Vegans and Vegetarians: Plant-based diets often contain iron other than heme, making it difficult for the body to absorb. This formula is vegan friendly.

Certain medications can affect iron absorption, as well as conditions that can affect nutrient absorption, such as ulcers, IBS, or Crohn’s disease. Diseases like chronic fatigue can also cause more iron needs.

When navigating low energy, brain fog, or confirmed iron deficiency, Ferritin+ offers an effective way to restore iron balance without side effects.
