Iron 14mg as Citrate

Iron is a mineral you can't ignore, particularly if your diet doesn't include a lot of red meat. In fact iron is one of the most common nutrients at risk of deficiency amongst all ages and both sexes. Women of childbearing age are especially at risk and in the UK official data shows that 89% of young women have a daily intake which is less than the NRV of 14mg. This reflects a move towards vegetarian diets and less consumption of red meat. And it is recognised that iron contributes to:

• normal oxygen transport in the body
• the normal function of the immune system
• the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
• normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin

The iron in this product is in a citrate form which is easily absorbed and utilised by the body. This is important for when the body's iron stores are depleted, it can take several months for them to be replenished.
