Iron and Vitamin C

What role does Iron play in the body?

Iron is, like other minerals such as zinc and magnesium, essential for the body¹.That's why adequate iron absorption is very important for preventing diseases associated with a deficiency of this mineral, such as iron deficiency anaemia, which affects more than one quarter of the population².

To help the body absorb as much of this element as possible, it can be combined with other ingredients that promote its assimilation. One of the best options available is to combine iron with vitamin C which, in addition, to enabling superior absorption, provides additional benefits for the body³.
