Characteristics of this iron
By adding vitamin C and sweetening with stevia, it tasted like taking a sweet vitamin C tablet. You can also mix it into a food or shake and you won't notice the citrus flavor, or place the portion under your tongue if you don't mind the acid.
It is a form of iron (ferrous fumarate) that is very good for the stomach, unlike other varieties of iron that cause discomfort.
It is a non-heme iron, that is, it does not come from animal origin, it is certified vegan.
How much and how to take your Iron
One or a half serving per day or the amounts prescribed by a specialist is recommended, each serving contains the equivalent of 25 mg of Elemental Iron. 35 mg of vitamin C, and 200 ug of folic acid (vitamin B9).
If you have anemia, deficiency or are pregnant, always take the portions or the equivalent to elemental iron that a doctor or nutritionist recommends. (There are many forms of iron and each one brings a different percentage of elemental iron, which in the end is what counts). For example, we have ferrous gloconate (12%), ferrous sulfate (20%), aminochelated iron or bisglycinate (20%) and ferrous fumarate (33%).
In the case of pregnant women between 1 and 2 servings are getting what they need per day according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization (between 30 to 60 mg of elemental iron). For children, half a serving of iron per day is sufficient, however, in both cases, always follow the instructions of the doctor or nutritionist.
Tips to better absorb iron
The ideal is to avoid taking it together with calcium, milk, tea or coffee, because it decreases its absorption a little. on the contrary, any food with vitamin C improves its absorption.
