Why Iron?

IRON IS FOUND IN EVERY CELL IN YOUR BODY

Iron is an essential mineral, and it’s in every cell of the human body. Which is one of the reasons it’s so important to make sure that your body has the correct levels of iron. Iron plays an important role in how our bodies function. For example, it's important for maintaining energy metabolism and supports efficient cognitive function.

As you can imagine having important aspects of our bodies working and feeling energised as they should is important for our overall health, wellbeing and feelings of wellness.


WHY AN IRON SUPPLEMENT?

We should all make sure we’re eating a balanced and healthy diet. But sometimes it can be tricky and making sure we’re always eating enough of the right things is hard. Iron can be difficult for your body to absorb, so making sure you take a good and effective supplement can give you peace of mind that you’re taking care of your nutrition.
