It sits inside haemoglobin, the protein that picks up oxygen in your lungs and delivers it to every muscle, organ and brain cell. It is also part of myoglobin, which stores oxygen inside muscle, and of the enzymes your mitochondria use to turn food into energy.<\/p>\n<p>When iron stores (measured as <strong>ferritin<\/strong>) run low, less oxygen reaches your tissues. You feel it as heavy legs, slower recovery, flat energy and poorer concentration \u2013 long before anything shows up as a problem on paper. A well-absorbed <strong>iron supplement<\/strong> keeps those stores where they should be.<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel\">\n    <strong>Iron contributes to:<\/strong> normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin \u00b7 normal oxygen transport in the body \u00b7 normal energy-yielding metabolism \u00b7 the reduction of tiredness and fatigue \u00b7 normal cognitive function \u00b7 normal function of the immune system.\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scn-athletes\">\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">Endurance athletes<\/p>\n<h2>Why do endurance athletes need an iron supplement?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Endurance training raises your iron needs and lowers your iron intake at the same time. That is why runners, cyclists, triathletes, swimmers and rowers are among the people most likely to run low:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tick\">\n<li><strong>Sweat losses<\/strong> \u2013 every litre of sweat carries a small amount of iron out of the body, and long sessions in the heat add up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foot-strike impact<\/strong> \u2013 thousands of footfalls per run break down a small number of red blood cells, which then need replacing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Post-exercise absorption dip<\/strong> \u2013 after hard training the body releases more hepcidin, a hormone that temporarily reduces how much iron you absorb from food in the hours that follow.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More red blood cells to build<\/strong> \u2013 training adaptations increase blood volume, so your body needs more iron to make the extra haemoglobin.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lighter, plant-based diets<\/strong> \u2013 plant iron is absorbed far less well than iron from meat, and many athletes eat less red meat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Because oxygen delivery is what endurance performance runs on, SCN\u2122 formulated MicroIron Extra Strength with the highest LipoFer\u2122 dose of any supplement using it, to cover the needs of our most demanding pro athletes \u2013 while staying gentle enough to take every single day of a training block.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scn-women\">\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">Active women<\/p>\n<h2>Is an iron supplement for women different?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Monthly cycles regularly deplete iron stores, which is why women need more iron each day than men and why female athletes are at the highest risk of running low. Add training, a busy life and a lighter diet, and food alone often isn&#8217;t enough.<\/p>\n<p>MicroIron Extra Strength gives you a strong, well-absorbed daily dose in a single small capsule, with vitamin C to increase iron absorption and folate plus B12 for normal blood formation. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, speak to your doctor before taking any iron supplement alongside your prenatal vitamins.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scn-wellbeing\">\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">Wellbeing &amp; healthy ageing<\/p>\n<h2>Can an iron supplement help with tiredness?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Yes. Iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folate are each recognised for contributing to the <strong>reduction of tiredness and fatigue<\/strong> and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. MicroIron brings all four together, so every capsule supports your energy from several directions at once \u2013 whether you train hard, work long hours, or simply want to feel like yourself again.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"scn-brain\">\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">Brain &amp; focus<\/p>\n<h2>Does iron affect concentration?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Your brain uses around a fifth of the oxygen you breathe, and that oxygen arrives on iron. Iron contributes to <strong>normal cognitive function<\/strong>, while vitamin B12 contributes to normal psychological function and to the normal function of the nervous system. Healthy iron levels are one of the foundations of a clear, focused mind.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">The LipoFer\u2122 difference<\/p>\n<h2>Why is liposomal iron the best iron supplement form?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Most iron supplements use iron salts such as ferrous sulphate. They are cheap, but much of the dose is never absorbed, and the iron that sits in the gut is what causes the nausea, cramps, constipation and metallic aftertaste so many people give up on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>LipoFer\u2122<\/strong>, from the Spanish ingredient specialist Lipofoods, takes a different approach. Iron pyrophosphate is micronised and wrapped in a liposome \u2013 a tiny protective sphere of phospholipids, the same material as your own cell membranes. That coating:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"tick\">\n<li>protects the iron as it passes through the stomach, so it doesn&#8217;t irritate the gut lining;<\/li>\n<li>prevents the iron from reacting with food, so there is no metallic taste;<\/li>\n<li>carries the iron to the intestine, where it is taken up efficiently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The result is the highest bioavailability iron available on the supplement market, with absorption reported by the manufacturer to be 470% better than the next-best form.<\/p>\n<div class=\"quote\">\n<p>Clinical studies have shown that LipoFer\u2122 increased serum ferritin by<\/p>\n<div class=\"stats\">\n<div class=\"stat\"><span class=\"n\">+30%<\/span><span class=\"l\">in the first 4 weeks of use<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"stat\"><span class=\"n\">+80%<\/span><span class=\"l\">after 16 weeks of use<\/span><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"center\" style=\"margin-top:22px\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/lipofer.png\" alt=\"Chart comparing LipoFer liposomal iron absorption with other iron supplement forms\" title=\"LipoFer\u2122 liposomal iron absorption\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section>\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">Complete synergistic formula<\/p>\n<h2>What is in MicroIron Extra Strength?<\/h2>\n<div class=\"rule\"><\/div>\n<p>Iron on its own is only half the job.

MicroIron Extra Strength uses LipoFer\u2122 liposomal iron at the highest dose of any LipoFer\u2122 supplement, plus vitamin C to increase iron absorption and B12 and folate for normal red blood cell formation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Is liposomal iron better than ferrous sulphate?<\/summary>\n<p>Liposomal iron is protected by a phospholipid coating, so it passes through the stomach without irritating it and without reacting with food. Ferrous sulphate is cheap but is often poorly tolerated, which is the main reason people stop taking it. LipoFer\u2122 offers high bioavailability without the usual stomach upset or metallic taste.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Will this iron supplement upset my stomach?<\/summary>\n<p>MicroIron is designed to be gentle. Because the iron is microencapsulated inside liposomes, it does not come into direct contact with the stomach lining \u2013 one of the main reasons ordinary iron tablets cause nausea and constipation.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>How long does it take for an iron supplement to work?<\/summary>\n<p>Iron stores are rebuilt gradually. In clinical studies, LipoFer\u2122 increased serum ferritin by 30% in the first 4 weeks and by 80% after 16 weeks of use. Take MicroIron consistently and ask your doctor to check your ferritin to track progress.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Why does MicroIron contain vitamin C, B12 and folic acid?<\/summary>\n<p>Vitamin C increases iron absorption. Vitamin B12 and folate are needed alongside iron for normal red blood cell formation. Together they make a complete synergistic formula for healthy blood, rather than iron on its own.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Can I take an iron supplement with coffee?<\/summary>\n<p>Coffee and tea contain polyphenols that reduce iron absorption. For the best results, leave about two hours between MicroIron and your coffee or tea, and take it with a meal as directed.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Do I need an iron supplement?<\/summary>\n<p>A simple blood test for ferritin and haemoglobin is the best way to know. Endurance athletes, women, people on plant-based diets and regular blood donors are the groups most likely to benefit. Speak to your doctor before starting, and take only the recommended dose.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"cta\">\n<p class=\"eyebrow\">SCN\u2122 MicroIron Extra Strength<\/p>\n<h2>The iron supplement endurance athletes can feel<\/h2>\n<p>LipoFer\u2122 liposomal iron \u00b7 Vitamin C \u00b7 Dual B12 \u00b7 Folic Acid \u2013 one capsule a day.<\/p>\n<p class=\"cta-btn\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"#content\">Add MicroIron to basket<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"center\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.s-c-nutrition.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SCN-together-faster-longer-harder-motivational-1.gif\" alt=\"SCN\u2122 together \u2013 faster, longer, harder endurance motivation\" title=\"SCN\u2122 together \u2013 faster, longer, harder\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"small\"><em>This website is for your education and general health information only.
