Vitamin C helps improve your body's Iron intake from plant foods which is especially important for those who don't eat meat because Iron from plants is much harder for the body to absorb.

Why so good?
Iron absorption from plant-foods can be as little as 2-5%, but including Vitamin C increases absorption of Iron by 10x. Iron is vital for a healthy immune system and energy levels. Learn more.
How to take?
Take one capsule per day.
It's important to avoid tea and coffee for 30 minutes either side of taking your Gentle Iron & Vitamin C supplement because they can hinder Iron absorption.Product details

Description
DR.VEGAN® Gentle Iron (18mg) with Vitamin C (80mg) is in an absorbable form (Ferrous Fumarate), ideal for those with sensitive stomachs or on plant-based diets.
Iron is required by your body for making haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. It is essential for a healthy immune system and maintaining normal energy levels. A deficiency of Iron can cause anaemia and could harm your cognitive function which includes concentration, thinking, reasoning, and perception. Because Iron is more easily absorbed by the body from meat sources, deficiency can be more common among those on plant-based diets and flexitarians reducing their meat consumption. Iron deficiency is also more common among women as a result of the menstrual cycle.
Iron is essential for your energy release. Low levels of Iron force your body to work harder to function normally which causes fatigue and can cause other symptoms such as irritability and trouble focusing.
We do not recommend taking our Gentle Iron & Vitamin C for additional Iron supplementation alongside our Daily Multi-Vitamin unless you have a diagnosed deficiency in Iron or you're advised to do so by your GP or a healthcare professional.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking any medications or under medical supervision, please consult a doctor or healthcare professional before use. Discontinue use and consult a doctor if adverse reactions occur.
