How it works:
Iron deficiency can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pallor and shortness of breath on exertion.
Iron is a component of haemoglobin, an essential component of red blood cells. Haemoglobin transports oxygen in the body. Having optimal haemoglobin levels helps the cells of the body receive sufficient oxygen.
Without adequate dietary iron levels the delivery of oxygen to cells decreases and energy production may suffer. Vitamins C, B12 and folic acid are needed for the normal formation of red blood cells. Folic acid and vitamin B12 both facilitate the body’s production of haemoglobin. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) also increases the absorption of nonhaem iron.
Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a nutritive herb which contains high amounts of iron, and has traditionally been used to assist in iron deficiencies.
Each Tablet Contains:
Ferrous fumarate (iron 5 mg) 15.3mg
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) 100mg
Folic acid 166.5µg
Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) 50µg
Urtica dioica (Nettle) herb powder 100mg
Ferrous fumarate (iron 5 mg)
Adults - take 1 tablet 3 times a day with meals, or as professionally prescribed.
Iron may decrease the absorption and efficacy of these medications. If taking methyldopa, carbidopa, levodopa, thyroid hormones, penicillamine, tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics or bisphosphonates (osteoporosis drugs) separate doses by at least 2 hours.

I find this iron supplement to be very effective. It does not cause constipation as some iron supplements can do. Taking one per day my energy levels have noticably increased, and I generally feel more alert and upbeat. Good value for money too!
