Iron Deficiency and Its Impact on Health

Common Symptoms of Iron Deficiency

Iron deficiency can lead to anemia — a condition where your blood has lower-than-normal levels of hemoglobin. This often comes with symptoms like:

• General weakness
• Constant fatigue
• Shortness of breath, even with mild activity
• Frequent headaches
• Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, and slower thinking
• Brittle or ridged nails
• Hair thinning or hair loss
• Pale or sallow skin tone

What Causes Iron Deficiency?

The most common causes of iron deficiency include:

• Poor or unbalanced diet low in iron-rich foods
• Impaired iron absorption due to chronic inflammation or digestive issues (e.g., IBD, celiac disease)
• Increased iron demands during pregnancy, growth spurts, or intense physical activity
• Blood loss from heavy periods, frequent blood donation, or internal bleeding

Iron plays a vital role in the body thanks to several key functions:

1. Oxygen transport: Iron is a key component of hemoglobin — the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body. Without enough iron, your organs and tissues don’t get the oxygen they need to function properly.

2. Energy production: Iron is involved in enzymes that help your cells produce energy. It supports physical performance, stamina, and overall vitality.

3. Immune support: Iron is essential for a strong immune system. It plays a key role in the production of white blood cells (leukocytes), which help your body detect and fight off infections.

4. Muscle health: Iron is a component of myoglobin — a protein that stores oxygen in your muscles. It’s crucial for muscle function, strength, and recovery after physical activity.

5. DNA synthesis & cell growth: Iron supports healthy cell division and DNA production — both essential for growth, tissue repair, and wound healing.

When your body lacks iron, these critical processes are disrupted — which can lead to serious health issues.

Greespi: A Natural Source of Iron

Greespi is a functional food that provides your body with highly bioavailable iron.
Each serving contains 4 mg of nano-sized, easily absorbable iron — designed to support optimal iron levels without irritating your digestive system.

The nano-sized iron in Greespi occurs naturally in the form of ultra-fine particles — just a few nanometers in size.
This form of iron has exceptionally high bioavailability, meaning your body can absorb and utilize it more easily and efficiently.

Daily Iron Requirements:

📌 Children (1–8 years): 7–10 mg
📌 Teens (9–18 years):
 • Girls: 8–15 mg
 • Boys: 8–11 mg
📌 Adult men: 8 mg
📌 Adult women (19–50 years): 18 mg
📌 Pregnant women: up to 27 mg
📌 Women 51+ (postmenopausal): 8 mg

Why Iron Bioavailability Matters

Iron from plant-based foods is often harder to absorb due to natural absorption inhibitors, such as:

✖️ Phytates – found in high amounts in whole grains, legumes, and seeds; they bind to iron and reduce absorption;
✖️ Oxalates – present in leafy greens like spinach and beet greens; they can interfere with iron uptake;

The iron in Greespi is highly bioavailable because it’s free from common absorption inhibitors like phytates and oxalates — allowing your body to absorb it more effectively.

Research shows that the iron in Greespi has a bioavailability of up to 95% — meaning your body can absorb and use it far more efficiently than standard plant-based sources.

Why Greespi Is a Superior Source of Iron

✅ Naturally balanced source — unlike synthetic supplements, Greespi doesn’t cause iron overload when used properly.
✅ Gentle on digestion — no stomach discomfort, constipation, or nausea often linked to iron pills.
✅ Highly bioavailable — absorbs far better than iron from many typical plant-based foods.

How Should Different People Take Greespi?

📍 To Help Correct Iron Deficiency
Add 1–2 servings of Greespi to your daily routine to support healthy iron levels, prevent anemia, and boost overall well-being.

📍 For Vegans and Vegetarians
Greespi is an excellent source of iron for those who don’t consume animal products — helping to meet daily iron needs naturally and effectively.

📍 For People with Digestive Issues
Greespi offers highly bioavailable iron and contains no absorption inhibitors — making it ideal for those with impaired iron absorption or sensitive digestion.

Our customers often notice visible improvements within just one month of consistent consume.

Recommendation: For best results, take Greespi on an empty stomach with a glass of water.
