PREGNANCY, BREASTFEEDING
Being pregnant is a beautiful time in women’s life: it is not an illness, but a different kind of “status”. The operation and the nutrient demand of the body changes in many ways. This wonderful and natural process modifies the average iron intake demand, too.
From the second trimester the iron demand grows extremely. OVER the general daily need of 15 mg iron intake for women in reproductive age, the additional daily quantity of 5-10 mg iron is needed for the body of the mother and the baby.
During breastfeeding we can count with an increased iron demand: we have to provide our body 20 mg elemental iron.
According to INACG (International Nutritional Anaemia Consultative Group), the recommended intake for pregnant women is 60 mg elemental iron and 400 mcg folic acid.
2 PCS OF FERROTAMIN® IRON (III) COMPLEX CHEWING TABLETS PROVIDE 96.6 % OF DAILY ELEMENTAL IRON DEMAND AND 100% OF DAILY FOLIC ACID DEMAND ACCORDING TO THE RECOMMENDATION OF INAGG!
THE HEALTHY WOMAN – PERIOD AND IRON DEFICIENCY
The most common reason of anaemia is iron deficiency that evolves in most cases because of blood loss. That is why proper iron supplementation is important for every healthy woman who menstruates regularly.
WHICH QUANTITY OF IRON IS NEEDED FOR A HEALTHY WOMAN DURING PERIODS?
LET’S COUNT TOGETHER!
The blood loss during periods is 30-40 ml on an average. With each ml of blood about 0.4-0.5 mg iron is emptied from our body, which means 12-20 mg iron loss in a single period – above the daily demand!
In case of heavy or long-continued periods (lasting for more than 7 days), the blood loss can be even doubled, so the iron emptied from our body can be even 24-40 mg. (Without periods the daily iron loss is 1-2 mg.)
The extraordinary demand for iron intake during periods exceeds the daily nutrient reference value applied currently, which is determined in 14 mg – both for men and women.

MENOPAUSE
As time passes there will be a time when women do not have to count with the significant iron loss due to periods, pregnancy or breastfeeding any more: this time the daily iron intake demand will decrease to 10-12 mg.
DESPITE OF THE DECREASING DEMANDS THE NUMBER OF WOMEN SUFFERING FROM IRON-DEFICIENT ANAEMIA DURING MENOPAUSE IS SIGNIFICANT! In older age the reason of iron deficiency is the inappropriate nutrition. According to results of representative studies about nutrition habits, from the diet of older women the needed quantity of iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid is missing.
In older age we have to count with the fact that the efficiency of digestion decreases: the absorption of nutrients and their utilisation inside the body worsen, which increases the risk of iron-deficient anaemia further.
IRON DEFICIENCY CAN EVOLVE IN ANY AGE! PREVENT SERIOUS ANAEMIA WITH KEEPING YOUR IRON STORES AT APPROPRIATE LEVEL CONTINUOUSLY!
HEAVY PERIODS – WHAT WE DO NOT TALK ABOUT…
For most women periods mean a natural process belonging to everyday life. At the same time from 10 women in fertile age even 4 can suffer regularly from too heavy periods. Although having periods is not an illness, heavy periods mean a difficult challenge for the affected women that significantly influences their quality of life.
But what can be regarded as a heavy period? Upon the definition loosing 80 ml or more blood in one period. This approach can be used mostly in clinical studies. In practice heavy periods mean the length of at least 7 days or if the change of sanitary pads or tampons is needed after one hour. It can be a symptom if we can’t sleep the night away. It refers to a heavy period, if we have to limit our daily activities because of the period.
DID YOU KNOW?
The number of women suffering from heavy periods is not known, as women do not talk about the problem and rarely consult their doctor. They are the victims, who suffer from symptoms for long years, although THERE IS A SOLUTION for the treatment of physical and mood problems originating from heavy periods.
Do you also suffer from heavy periods? Are you affected in the evolution of iron deficiency? MAKE A TEST HERE!
To identify the reasons of your heavy periods, please consult your doctor! To fight against the iron deficiency originating in the excessive blood loss, please use FERROTAMIN® IRON (III) COMPLEX CHEWING TABLETS!

STRONG WOMEN IN EVERYDAY LIFE
WHAT ARE IRON STORES AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO FILL THEM?
Iron is present in our body in three forms: “storage iron” in the iron stores, “transport iron” in our blood circulating bound to delivery molecules and “functional iron” with certain tasks.
Iron-deficient anaemia is not a status appearing from a day to another, before the illness there is iron-deficiency in the body – but without anaemia.
In an ideal case the iron stores are filled with iron and our body does not seek anything (see normal status on the graph).
If the intake or the utilisation of iron is not appropriate, these stores get empty gradually. FIRST only the quantity of iron delivered in blood decreases. IN THIS PHASE THE CREATION OF ERYTHROBLASTS IS STILL SMOOTH, but iron-deficiency can be recognised through lab parameters. Depending on the degree of the iron-deficiency, the symptoms of iron-deficient anaemia do not appear or only mildly, and they are not typical (see prelatent and latent iron-deficiency on the graph).
If iron supplementation still does not happen, and even the quantity of iron delivered in blood decreases, then we face the illness named IRON-DEFICIENT ANAEMIA. At this stage already the creation of erythroblasts has disorder (see manifested iron-deficiency on the graph).
FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE MANIFESTED IRON-DEFICIENCY USE FERROTAMIN® IRON (III) COMPLEX!
