Advantages at a glance 21 mg iron per capsule Quartet of 4 iron compounds including cofactors Contains curry leaf iron, ferrous gluconate, ferrous bisglycinate & ferrous fumarate Acerola vitamin C for optimized bioavailability Including bioactive vitamin B6, B9 & B12 Supports energy metabolism, immune system and blood count Made in Germany without additives 100% vegan Valeo Vita Iron Complex:High bioavailability and good tolerability of iron from dietary supplements depend on high-quality formulations. While conventional iron supplements often cause gastrointestinal discomfort such as constipation and nausea, iron from curry leaves is very well tolerated and bioavailable. Therefore, curry leaf iron makes up the largest proportion of our iron complex. We have also added three other well-tolerated compounds (ferrous gluconate, ferrous bisglycinate, and ferrous fumarate) to optimize bioavailability.To further improve iron absorption, our supplement contains natural vitamin C from acerola cherries. Studies have shown that vitamin C supports the absorption of iron in the body. Therefore, we have decided to add 50 mg of vitamin C to each capsule to ensure optimal absorption.In addition to iron and vitamin C, our product contains bioactive cofactors such as vitamins B6, B9, and B12, which are crucial for iron metabolism and red blood cell formation. Adequate iron intake is important. Iron is an essential trace element and, with a total body content of 3-5 g, the most abundant transition metal in the human body. Iron performs many vital functions in our bodies. As the central atom of hemoglobin, it is responsible for the transport and storage of oxygen, the formation of new red blood cells, and the production of cellular energy. Low iron levels can therefore affect physical performance and concentration. Furthermore, iron is a cofactor in several enzyme systems (e.g., superoxide dismutase) that are responsible for neutralizing oxidative radicals. Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal immune function, and normal cognitive function. Another important aspect is the regulation of iron metabolism by various proteins such as ferritin and transferrin. Ferritin serves as a storage form of iron and regulates iron levels in the body, while transferrin is responsible for transporting iron in the blood. This sophisticated system ensures that iron is available where it is needed and that excess iron is safely stored to prevent potential damage from oxidative stress. Furthermore, iron plays a key role in DNA synthesis and cell division, which is crucial for normal growth and development as well as the regeneration of tissues and organs. It also supports the normal function of the nervous system and is involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters, which are necessary for signal transmission between nerve cells. Thus, iron indirectly influences cognitive function and emotional well-being.
