About our Food State Iron Tablets
Food State Iron is presented to the body in a base of inactive lactobacillus bulgaricus and is therefore a gentle, well absorbed supplement.
Our iron tablets also contain wholefood vitamin C from Acerola cherry, and molybdenum:
Vitamin C increases iron absorption.
Molybdenum forms part of the enzyme involved in iron utilisation.
Benefits of our natural iron tablets with vitamin C
As a Food State supplement, our iron tablets provide nutrients in the same form as those found in food, making them highly absorbable, gentle and non-constipating. Food State supplements provide vitamins and minerals in a food base of inactive lactobacillus bulgaricus; a native and friendly bacterial inhabitant of the human digestive tract.
