With potassium, it is required for gastric acid production. Iron is essential for immunity and is a structural component of haemoglobin. Phosphate forms part of ferritin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImmunity: Iron is involved in immunity, and severe iron deficiency may lead to reduced resistance to infection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the Mineral Therapy tradition, iron phosphate is often prescribed with potassium chloride.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFluid balance: Potassium and chloride are involved in the regulation of water balance. Potassium acts with extracellular sodium to maintain normal osmotic pressure and influences the ability of the kidney to correct imbalances with the excretion process. The status of chloride channels influences the uptake or loss of water by cells, and hence the regulation of cell volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHaematology: Due to its role as a component of haemoglobin, iron plays a vital role in the structure and function of healthy blood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the body, iron is found most commonly associated with phosphate, the main anion for energy storage and release. Phosphate acts as a regulator of iron phosphate absorption, and forms part of ferritin, the iron storage complex. It is also incorporated into 2,3 diphosphoglycerate (2,3 DPG, a compound in red blood cells that regulates oxygen release by haemoglobin), and consequently plays an integral role in energy production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGastrointestinal function: Potassium and chloride are both essential for the production of gastric acid.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BLACKMORES PROFESSIONAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53802496328052,"sku":null,"price":26.36,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/7525\/7204\/files\/Blackmores_20Prof_20P.C.I.P._20170t_media-01.jpg?v=1773514250","url":"https:\/\/healthnook.com.au\/products\/blackmores-professional-p-c-i-p-170t","provider":"Healthnook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
