Iron 40 mg + Vitamin C 40 mg 120 capsules

About 90% of women in Germany consume too little iron every day. It is particularly important for women to ensure a sufficient supply of iron, because they need even more of this trace element during menstruation or during pregnancy and breastfeeding. But men can also be affected by an iron deficiency. Especially with vegan and vegetarian diets, an iron deficiency quickly develops, since iron is mainly found in meat and fish. 

But what does the body actually need iron for? Iron has a function in cell division and contributes to:

• to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin
• normal cognitive function
• normal energy metabolism
• normal oxygen transport in the body
• normal function of the immune system
• to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue

 Our iron capsules combine high-dose iron with natural vitamin C from the acerola cherry. This is because vitamin C increases iron absorption and is therefore an excellent supplement. In addition, it also has very many health benefits, because vitamin C:

• contributes to normal immune system function during and after intense physical activity
• contributes to normal collagen formation for normal bone, teeth, skin and cartilage function
• contributes to normal energy metabolism
• contributes to normal function of the nervous system 

Each capsule contains 40 mg iron bisglycinate and 40 mg vitamin C from acerola cherry.

The iron bisglycinate form is considered particularly bioavailable (absorbable) to the body, because the iron is bound to the amino acid L-glycine. Vitamin C from a natural source increases this absorption capacity many times over.
