NOW Foods Iron Complex Vege

NOW Foods Iron Complex is a high quality dietary supplement that provides well absorbed iron along with synergistic vitamins and minerals. This product supports red blood cell production, blood health, energy levels and overall well-being. This supplement is particularly beneficial for people with iron deficiency, women, the elderly, vegans and vegetarians and anyone who wants to take care of blood health and iron metabolism.

Key active ingredients

Iron (from Ferrochel® Iron Diglycinate) - 27 mg (150% RWS*)

• • Role in the body: Iron is essential for the production of haemoglobin, the protein responsible for transporting oxygen in the blood. Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, manifested by fatigue, weakness and pale skin. The Ferrochel® form (iron diglycinate) is highly bioavailable and gentle on the digestive system, minimising the risk of digestive discomfort often associated with iron supplementation.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) - 50 mg (56% of RWS)

• • Role in the body: Vitamin C promotes the absorption of iron in the gut, which is particularly important for non-haem iron, which is naturally more difficult for the body to absorb. In addition, vitamin C acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) - 200 mcg (50% RWS)

• • Role in the body: Folic acid supports the production of healthy red blood cells and prevents anaemia. It is particularly important for women of childbearing age, as folic acid deficiency during pregnancy can lead to neural tube defects in the foetus.

Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) - 50 mcg (2083% of RWS)

• • Role in the body: Vitamin B12 is crucial for the production of red blood cells and the healthy functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to megaloblastic anaemia, weakness, fatigue and problems with memory and concentration.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCl) - 10 mg (588% of RWS)

• • Role in the body: Vitamin B6 is involved in haemoglobin production and also supports nervous system health and energy metabolism.

Citrus bioflavonoids - 50 mg

• • Role in the body: Citrus bioflavonoids are natural antioxidants that support the absorption of vitamin C and promote cardiovascular health and blood vessel elasticity.

Health benefits of Iron Complex supplementation

✅ Supporting red blood cell production: Iron is a key component of haemoglobin, the protein that transports oxygen in the blood. Iron supplementation is essential for those who are deficient in this element and may suffer from iron deficiency anaemia. Vitamin B12, folic acid and vitamin B6 also support the production of healthy red blood cells.

✅ Increase energy and reduce fatigue: Iron deficiency anaemia often leads to feelings of chronic fatigue and weakness. Regular supplementation with iron and other blood health supporting ingredients can help to increase energy levels and improve overall wellbeing.

✅ Improved bioavailability through synergy of ingredients: The presence of vitamin C, bioflavonoids and B vitamins in the NOW Foods Iron Complex formula supports iron absorption and its effectiveness in the body. Vitamin C increases the absorption of non-haem iron, while bioflavonoids support its antioxidant effects.

✅ Support for women: Iron supplementation is particularly important for women who lose iron during menstruation. Iron Complex can help replenish these losses and prevent deficiencies, which can lead to weakness and fatigue.

✅ Gentle on the digestive system: Ferrochel® (iron diglycinate) is a form of iron that has a high bioavailability and is gentler on the digestive system compared to other forms of iron. This makes the product more tolerable and the risk of constipation or nausea is minimised.

For whom this supplement is intended

• People with iron deficiency: This supplement is ideal for people struggling with low iron levels, such as those with anaemia, pregnant or menstruating women and the elderly.
• Pregnant women or those planning a pregnancy : Iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 are crucial for healthy foetal development and for the health of the pregnant woman.
• Physically active people: Iron supplementation can support those with an active lifestyle, as iron supports energy production and improves performance.
• People on vegan or vegetarian diets: Iron from plant sources is more difficult to absorb, so iron supplementation may be crucial for people on plant-based diets.
