What is iron infusion?

Effective iron supplementation with Iron Infusion at LIVION in Hamburg

According to the WHO, iron deficiency is the most common micronutrient deficiency disease. A good iron supply is therefore essential. The main function of iron is to transport oxygen in the blood, which is essential for life, and to form red blood cells. Iron therapy should only be undertaken after consulting your doctor, as an excess of iron can lead to increased stress on the body from free radicals. Your blood and iron levels should be determined in advance by a laboratory test. A laboratory test can also be carried out in our practice. Our iron infusion is particularly effective because it is absorbed by the body at a rate of 100%. The ability to absorb iron from tablets via the gastrointestinal tract is often very limited. In addition, taking iron supplements can often cause gastrointestinal side effects such as nausea, constipation, or diarrhea.
