It has added copper and vitamin B2 which are both needed for iron metabolism in the body, and natural vitamin C from acerola fruit which helps iron absorption in the gut. Low iron levels can be due to low levels in the diet, like being vegetarian or vegan, or because the body has an increased need for example during pregnancy. Pre-menopausal women often have a greater need for iron as it is lost during the monthly cycle. More iron is lost if periods are heavy, which in turn can lead to further depletion, leaving you feeling tired. Iron is needed for red blood cells to be able to deliver oxygen to your cells, as well as a healthy immune system and brain function. If your skin is pale, you feel more tired than normal or breathless after light exercise, you may be low in iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is ours better?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormulated with well tolerated iron bisglycinate (iron chelate). The iron is bound to amino acids making it well absorbed and gentle on the gut, unlike the sulphate form for example which can cause side-effects such as constipation. This form of iron is less likely to be blocked by other nutrients like calcium, or elements of the diet like tea or wholegrains which can impede absorption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGreat for pre-menopausal women especially if they have heavy periods. Suitable for pregnancy and breast-feeding. Also suitable for men, especially if vegetarian or vegan. Can also be taken by children over 12 years, but especially girls as they hit puberty. Perfect for vegetarians and vegans who may have low dietary intake. Good for those who do lots of endurance exercise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"flex items-center justify-between text-fluid-20px py-5\"\u003eIngredients\u003ci class=\"fa-light fa-sharp fa-chevron-down transition-all rotate-180\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"grid transition-all grid-rows-[1fr]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"overflow-hidden\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"transition-all flex flex-col gap-3 mb-5 opacity-100\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-[14px] tracking-tight cms\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"metafield-rich_text_field\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAcerola complex (ascorbic acid, acerola extract), capsule: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, ferrous bisglycinate, bulking agent: microcrystalline cellulose, anti-caking agents: magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide; riboflavin, copper citrate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWomen take 1-2 capsules daily ideally in a split dose (only take 1 capsule if combining with other supplements containing iron).
