Iron Deficiency and Its Impact on Health

Symptoms of Iron Deficiency

A lack of iron in the body can lead to anemia—a condition where hemoglobin levels in the blood drop. This is accompanied by the following symptoms:

• Weakness

• Fatigue

• Shortness of breath

• Headaches

• Impaired cognitive function (concentration, memory, reasoning)

• Brittle nails

• Hair loss

• Pale skin

Causes of Iron Deficiency

The main causes of iron deficiency include:

• An unbalanced diet
• Poor iron absorption (due to chronic inflammation in the gastrointestinal tract)
• Increased iron needs (pregnancy, periods of rapid growth, intense physical activity)
• Blood loss (menstruation, blood donation)

Iron plays a critical role in the body due to several essential functions:

1. Oxygen Transport: Iron is a component of hemoglobin, which delivers oxygen to the body’s cells. Without enough iron, organs don’t receive the oxygen they need to function properly.
2. Energy Metabolism: Iron is part of enzymes that produce energy within cells, supporting physical activity and overall vitality.
3. Immune Support: Iron is essential for a properly functioning immune system, particularly in the production of white blood cells that fight infections.
4. Muscle Health: Iron is a component of myoglobin, which stores oxygen in muscles—important for muscle function and recovery.
5. DNA Synthesis and Cell Growth: Iron is involved in cell division and DNA synthesis, which are vital for growth, tissue repair, and wound healing.

Iron deficiency disrupts these processes and can lead to serious health problems.

Greespi as a Source of Iron

Greespi is a functional food product that provides the body with bioavailable iron.

One serving of Greespi contains 4 mg of nano-sized, absorbable iron.

• The iron in Greespi is naturally present in the form of ultra-fine particles, measured in nanometers. This form of iron has high bioavailability, making it easier and faster for the body to absorb.

Daily Iron Requirements:

📌 Children (ages 1–8): 7–10 mg
📌 Adolescents (ages 9–18): 8–15 mg for girls, 8–11 mg for boys
📌 Adult men: 8 mg
📌 Adult women: 18 mg (up to 27 mg during pregnancy)
📌 Postmenopausal women: 8 mg

Why Is Iron Bioavailability Important?

Iron from plant-based foods is often poorly absorbed due to absorption inhibitors such as:

✖️ Phytates (found in high amounts in grains and legumes)
✖️ Oxalates (found in leafy greens)

The iron in Greespi has high bioavailability because it does not contain these inhibitors, allowing for better absorption.

Studies confirm that Greespi’s iron bioavailability reaches up to 95%.

Benefits of Greespi as an Iron Source

✅ Natural source – Does not cause iron overload, which can occur with synthetic supplements.
✅ No digestive side effects – Does not cause stomach discomfort, constipation, or nausea.
✅ Highly bioavailable – Absorbs significantly better than iron from many plant-based foods.

How Different People Can Use Greespi

📍 To address iron deficiency
Add 1–2 servings of Greespi to your diet to help maintain iron balance, prevent anemia, and improve overall well-being.

📍 For vegans and vegetarians
Greespi is an excellent source of iron for those who do not consume animal products, helping to meet their micronutrient needs.

📍 For people with gastrointestinal issues
Thanks to its high bioavailability and lack of absorption inhibitors, Greespi is ideal for those with impaired iron absorption.

Our customers report improved results after just one month of regular Greespi use.

🔹 Recommendation: Take Greespi on an empty stomach with water for maximum effect.
