What is Aloferal bailleul iron balance used for?
Iron is a trace element essential for proper oxygenation of the body and the activity of several enzymes. But iron intake is often insufficient! Iron is absorbed by the intestine and is a component of hemoglobin, which is mainly used to transport oxygen throughout the body. Iron is also present in myoglobin, so that oxygen can be used by the muscles. It is also involved in the activity of several enzymes and proteins.
Aloferal Equilibre en Fer Bailleul is an iron-based dietary supplement designed to maintain iron balance in certain physiological states in women.
- Women of childbearing age have a higher need for iron due to their menstrual cycle, which leads to blood loss and therefore iron loss.
- During pregnancy, high iron requirements are difficult to meet through diet alone, and iron supplements are frequently prescribed, especially in the last trimester.
- Some sportsmen and women may have an increased need for iron, when they take part in activities involving microtrauma (running, jumping, etc.) and accelerated red blood cell renewal. Any prescription of iron medication must be preceded by a blood test to assess the state of iron reserves (ferritin assay).
To maintain adequate iron status, losses must be compensated for by dietary intake. Otherwise, an imbalance sets in, with the body drawing on its available reserves. When these are depleted, the metabolic functions in which iron is involved are disrupted(reduced physical capacity for physical exertion, intellectual fatigue, hair loss).
Women of childbearing age have increased iron requirements due to their menstrual cycle. Every month, menstruation leads to a loss of blood and therefore of iron. This regular loss needs to be compensated for by sufficient dietary iron intake to maintain adequate reserves.
During pregnancy, iron requirements are even higher. The growth of the fetus and the development of the placenta require increased quantities of iron. Iron supplementation is often necessary, especially in the last trimester, to prevent anemia in the mother and ensure optimal development of the fetus.
Some athletes, particularly those involved in high-impact activities such as running or repeated jumping, may also have increased iron requirements. Muscle microtrauma and the accelerated turnover of red blood cells during exercise lead to an increased demand for iron for tissue regeneration and optimal oxygen transport in the body.
Before prescribing iron medication, it is crucial to carry out a blood test to assess the state of iron reserves, notably by measuring ferritin levels. This helps determine whether iron supplementation is necessary, and at what dosage.
We also recommend Weleda Maternité Baume de Massage Vergetures 150 ml, a treatment with a 100% natural composition to help eliminate and prevent stretch marks while you relax.
