Properties of Iron
Oxygen transport
Iron is best known for its role in haemoglobin, the red blood cell protein, where it is the central component of haem. Haemoglobin picks up the oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissue, thus allowing cellular respiration
Oxygen storage
Iron is also present in muscular myoglobin where it helps to store oxygen for use during muscular exercise
Enzymatic catalysis
Various enzymes contain ferrous or ferric ions in their active sites, playing a role in electron transfer reactions and other biochemical reactions
DNA synthesis
Iron is needed for DNA synthesis, making it an essential element in cell division and growth
Iron
Iron is a necessary component in various biological processes due to its ability to move between Fe2+ (ferrous) and Fe3+ (ferric) oxidation states. This redox reactivity allows it to participate in the electron transfer reactions necessary to produce cellular energy, synthesise organic compounds and regulate cellular processes
Iron is characterised by its electronic structure, with an atomic nucleus made up of 26 protons and a variable number of neutrons, as well as an electronic configuration of [Ar] 3d^6 4s^2. This means that it has two electrons in its outer shell (4s orbital) and six electrons in its d subshell (3d orbital). This electronic configuration gives iron its chemical reactivity properties and its ability to form bonds with other atoms
Complexe LCA-BioScience®
Vit. C
Vit. B9
Vit. B12
Even if essential, an isolated nutrient cannot complete a physiological process alone. For this reason, we are strengthening all of our formulas with a specific activation complex delivering the biomolecules it needs to function effectively
Vitamin C
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin and part of the family of chemical compounds known as ketones.
Vitamin C acts in synergy with iron as it helps improve the absorption of non-haem iron in the intestines by modifying the iron metabolism through: stimulation of ferritin synthesis, inhibition of the degradation of lysosomal ferritin and a reduction of the cellular efflux of iron
Vitamin B9
Vitamin B9, also known as folic acid, is a water-soluble vitamin essential to various biological functions.
The methylated form of vitamin B9, known as 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF), is important because it represents the biologically active form. It consists of a pteridine ring, a p-aminobenzoic (PABA) group, a glutamic acid residue and a methyl group (-CH3).
The synergy between iron and vitamin B9 lies in their ability work together to form blood cells, prevent anaemia and effectively use iron.This cooperation is important for the overall health of the body
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential vitamin with a very complex structure. This vitamin contains a colbalt (Co) ion at the centre of a corrinoid ring.
The methylated form of vitamin B12 is known as methylcobalamin. Its structure is similar to that of vitamin B12 cobalamin with a methyl group (-CH3) attached to the cobalt ion. This form is said to be bioactive and corresponds to the active and metabolically functional form of vitamin B12 which is present in the body and plays a role in various metabolic processes.
The synergy between iron and vitamin B12 is essential for the optimal functioning of the body, particularly in terms of red blood cell production and the metabolism of iron
