Femagen TLI is a blend of vitamins and minerals that helps to prevent iron deficiency, the most common nutritional deficiency worldwide.¹ Iron is an important component of hemoglobin in red blood cells, where it is necessary for oxygen transport through the body.¹ Decreased iron storage results disproportionate iron loss, and women require more iron than men due to losses in menstrual bleeding.^1,2 Vitamin C helps increase iron absorption by reducing iron to Fe₂₊, the form more stable in the basic environment of the intestines.³ As a cofactor for the enzyme ceruloplasmin, copper helps oxidize iron to Fe³⁺.⁴ In this form, iron binds its plasma protein transferrin, which transports iron to the bone marrow for red blood cell formation.⁴ Vitamin B₁₂ and folate are also involved in red blood cell formation through their roles in DNA synthesis.³
