SloIron’s potential for alleviating iron deficiency in GLP-1 Users

In an article featuring SloIron in NutraIngredients, iron deficiency is mentioned as one of the most common nutrient deficiencies detected among GLP-1 users. The article highlights how iron deficiency among GLP-1 users may occur because GLP-1's impact on gastric emptying can directly affect the absorption of traditional non-heme iron supplements, which require gastric acid for absorption through the DMT1 transporter. 

SloIron®, however, is plant-based ferritin iron that has a unique absorption mechanism that does not involve DMT1 and does not require stomach acid for it to be absorbed into the gut. This unique absorption mechanism makes SloIron a great iron ingredient for formulators looking to address nutritional support in the growing population of GLP-1 users.
