Description

Iron plays a number of important roles in the body. It is best known as being central to the formation of red blood cells, which in turn transport oxygen around the body. Low iron levels can put this delicate and complex process at risk, leading to feelings of tiredness and fatigue.

However iron is also involved in a range of other bodily processes. For example it contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism as well as supporting a healthy immune system.

It is therefore worrying to report how many people are consuming insufficient quantities of this mineral. This situation is impacted by the difficulties absorbing dietary iron in some people, particularly more mature individuals.

Many people therefore opt to supplement their diet with additional iron to avoid the risk of deficiency.

This liquid iron formula ensures that the beneficial mineral is absorbed quickly and easily through the lining of the digestive system. This base ingredient is supported by the addition of vitamin C, which according to EFSA increases iron absorption. Vitamins B6 and B12 add further to this formula, contributing to normal red blood cell formation as well as the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Lastly, a unique fruit formula has been added to ensure a pleasant taste every time.

* Results may vary from person to person, any and all supplements should be used in conjunction with a balanced and healthy diet. If you are unsure about taking supplements consult a doctor or pharmacist before use.
