Do you wake up tired? Lost your mojo? It might not be your hectic schedule. According to the NHS, one of the common reasons for feeling run down is iron deficiency. Iron is crucial for energising body and mind but tricky to absorb from food. 27% of women aren't getting enough!
Why Iron?
Prevent iron deficiency
What is Iron Deficiency
Iron is an essential mineral found in every cell of the human body. It’s vital for maintaining oxidation, energy levels and an efficient nervous system.
Because your body can’t produce iron and it’s hard to absorb enough through food alone, iron deficiency is a major global problem. It is the most common deficiency of any vitamins or minerals globally causing extreme tiredness, lethargy and, if unchecked, iron-deficiency anaemia.

WHY YOU NEED MORE IRON?
At many different stages of life, the need for iron has increased. However, dietary intake of iron is usually constant unless there are changes in diet. The absorption of basal iron is also poor with certain nutrients and drugs. Therefore, it is important to test for iron values and to add III-value iron if necessary, as it does not interact with other substances.
