Description
Iron is a mineral that is vital to both physical and mental wellbeing.
Iron is responsible for the excretion of carbon dioxide and supports the body against infection.
Adolescent females are at risk of iron deficiency owing to increased iron losses at menstruation and poor dietary habits.
Pregnancy places great demands on iron stores, as do a strict vegetarian diet and frequent aerobic exercise.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS:
- Symptoms such as fatigue, frequent infections, poor stamina, reduced athletic performance and learning difficulties in children may be signs of Iron deficiency.
- Iron has a low risk of gastric upset or constipation as the form of iron used, ferrous fumerate, is more easily absorbed. Iron-rich superfood Pumpkin Seed is also included.
- Ferrous Fumarate does not act as a Vitamin E antagonist.
- Vitamin C is added to assist absorption of the iron; Vitamins B6 and B12 are included to support the formation of healthy red blood cells.
- A maintainance dose of Folic acid is included to support pre-conception requirements for this nutrient, and to further assist iron absorption.
