Iron capsules
Iron is an essential trace element necessary for numerous bodily functions, including:
- Necessary for the formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin
- Contributes to a normal energy metabolism
- Help in the normal function of the immune system
- Necessary to reduce tiredness and fatigue
It is an essential mineral, so we must provide iron through food. In some situations a higher amount of iron is necessary.
Iron capsules are a dietetic food for the special alimentation with a lack of iron, as it can occur with fortified menstruation, reduced absorption of iron (eg. after a removal of stomach or intestine parts), increased need for iron (eg in pregnancy and lactation) or after operations.

Recommended dose:
Take 1 capsule once per day at a mealtime with sufficient fluid.
The capsule should be taken with a fruit juice containing vitamin C or with vitamin C tablets for better absorption.
