What is in one tablet?

Each tablet contains 40 mg of iron from iron bisglycinate, which is 286% of the nutrient reference value (NRV). In addition there are 80 mg of rose hip extract with 40 mg of vitamin C (50% NRV).

The right time

The manufacturer recommends taking it in the morning on an empty stomach, about one hour before breakfast. Coffee, black tea, cola and foods rich in oxalic acid (spinach, beetroot) or phytic acid (wholegrain cereals, rice, soy) should not be consumed directly together with the tablet, because they may reduce iron absorption.

Iron in the diet

Iron is found in meat, pulses, wholegrain products and green vegetables. Iron from animal foods is generally absorbed better than iron from plants. Vitamin C from the same meal increases iron absorption.
