Iron Plus Vit. C. 60 capsules

Since the body loses an average of 1 to 2 mg of iron per day, it must be supplied daily with food. Failure to do so results in a negative iron balance, tapping into the body's iron stores to compensate for the deficiency. Iron is a vital trace element that the body cannot produce itself, which is why it must be taken in with food. If this is not possible, iron deficiency can occur.

Iron deficiency is one of the most common deficiency symptoms worldwide, affecting about 30%. According to the World Health Organization, 1.3 billion people suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Women and vegetarians in particular belong to the risk groups.

Vital Natur Iron Bisglycinate Chelate Capsules are ideal to easily compensate for an iron deficiency and bring iron levels and ferritin levels into the normal range in just a short time. Very high bioavailability: Iron bisglycinate is a compound of iron with glycine. Of all the amino acids, glycine has the smallest molecule and can therefore effectively transport iron through the intestinal wall into the body. The iron contained in iron bisglycinate chelate is therefore very bioavailable and can be optimally absorbed by the body.

One study shows that iron bisglycinate is 59% better absorbed by the body than, for example, ferrous sulfate, which is contained in most iron supplements. Iron bisglycinate can also be absorbed by the body when iron-blocking foods such as coffee, tea or fiber are present at the same time. This is also a significant advantage over other iron compounds.

Very well tolerated: iron bisglycinate is considered the best tolerated iron compound and is therefore suitable even for a sensitive stomach. Side effects when taking iron bisglycinate capsules are therefore very rare. A comparative study has shown that gastrointestinal problems occurred in 32% of the study participants when taking ferrous sulfate.
