IRON COMPLEX

14 mg Iron with Vitamin C, B2, B12, Folate and Live Cultures

Iron Complex provides 14 mg of iron, from two forms (ferrous citrate and ferrous fumarate), with vitamin C, vitamin B2, vitamin B12 and folate, plus two strains of live cultures, in one daily capsule.

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, normal oxygen transport in the body and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Selected by Emma

Nutritionist Emma Ellice-Flint has recommended nutritional supplements throughout her clinical career and believes that quality, evidence and transparency should underpin every recommendation.

Every product in the Emma’s Nutrition range has been carefully evaluated before being included. Iron Complex was selected because it brings together iron with the vitamins that work alongside it, in a single daily capsule, with a clear declaration of how much iron each capsule provides.

Why This Formulation

Iron Complex combines iron with nutrients chosen to work alongside it:

• Vitamin C increases iron absorption.
• Vitamin B2 contributes to the normal metabolism of iron and to the maintenance of normal red blood cells.
• Vitamin B12 contributes to normal red blood cell formation.
• Folate contributes to normal blood formation.

Iron, vitamin C, vitamin B12 and folate also contribute to the normal function of the immune system, and iron contributes to normal cognitive function.

Each ingredient has been selected with purpose, drawing on the available evidence and Emma’s commitment to quality, evidence and transparency.

How Much Iron Do You Need?

The NHS gives the following daily iron intakes:

• Women aged 19 to 50: 14.8 mg
• Men aged 19 and over, and women over 50: 8.7 mg

Women who menstruate need more iron than men. After the menopause, a woman’s requirement falls to the same level as a man’s.

Most people should be able to get the iron they need from a varied, balanced diet. If you are unsure whether you need an iron supplement, speak to your GP or healthcare professional, who can check your iron levels with a simple blood test.

The Key Number to Look For Is the Amount of Iron

Iron supplements contain iron in the form of a compound, such as ferrous fumarate or ferrous citrate. The weight of the compound is not the same as the amount of iron it provides.

Each Iron Complex capsule provides 14 mg of iron, the figure shown in the nutrition information below.

Know exactly how much iron you’re getting. Just honest labelling.

About the Live Cultures

Each capsule also contains two strains of live cultures: Lactobacillus plantarum (strain CUL66) and Lactococcus lactis (strain CUL72), each providing 2 billion viable cells at the time of manufacture.
