OVER 1 BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE SUFFER FROM IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA (IDA) and What is IV iron infusion
COULD YOU BE ONE OF THEM?
WHAT IS IRON DEFICIENCY?
Iron is key to optimal health. It helps detoxify and boost your body’s immune functions, while aiding in oxygen production and blood circulation. Without sufficient iron supply, your body does not produce enough red blood cells, which are necessary for maintaining good health. The World Health Organization has deemed iron deficiency anemia a public health epidemic. Approximately 25% of the U.S. population suffers from iron deficiency and missed diagnoses are an all too common occurrence.
Several chronic inflammatory diseases, certain medications, and even sleep deficits are known causes of iron deficiency. Low iron or ferritin can cause symptoms of weakness and fatigue, intense cravings, dizziness, hair loss, dry skin, and more. In addition to these common symptoms, iron deficiency anemia can lead to serious health complications. Despite beliefs to the contrary, iron deficiency affects people in affluent communities just as frequently as those with limited access to healthcare.

How IV iron infusion Therapy Works
After years of research, we’ve found iron infusion therapy to be the most effective way of delivering iron into circulation. Intravenous iron replacement is a convenient and effective method to restore iron storage levels in the body quickly and safely.
It bypasses metabolism by the liver and intestines and does not cause harmful side effects like constipation and bloating that oral iron supplements do. Plus, you won’t have to remember to take multiple pills anymore!
