Iron is a mineral that is essential for the healthy production of haemoglobin and red blood cells. Balanced Iron Complex contains iron bisglycinate, a form of iron that is gentle on the digestive system. This formula also includes synergistic vitamin C to enhance iron absorption and aid in the maintenance of the immune system alongside vitamin B12 - an essential nutrient which contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism and red blood cell formation, supporting the role of iron within the body.
Iron contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and contributes to normal cognitive function. Foods typically high in iron include red meat, shellfish, pumpkin seeds, and spinach. However, according to the World Health Organization, iron is the nutrient that both women and men are most likely to be deficient in. Low iron levels could lead to feelings of fatigue, dizziness and weakness - symptoms which are often compounded by the menstrual cycle or from following a vegan or vegetarian diet. The iron used in this formula is a chelated form of this important nutrient, which has been bound to the amino acid glycine to make it more bioavailable and easier on the stomach than other commonly available forms such as ferrous fumarate or ferrous sulfate.
Contains 100% active ingredients, formulated by expert nutritionists with no artificial fillers and no nasties. Sourced according to Viridian’s strict ethical criteria including no animal testing, GMO or palm oil.
