Iron supplements are important to avoid iron deficiency, the most prevalent nutritional deficiency. Low iron levels or iron deficiency can be prevented by increasing iron intake via food fortification. The biggest iron fortification challenges in food processing are metallic taste, unpleasant gastro-intestinal tract side-effects, and high reactivity (oxidation). These disadvantages are successfully overcome by the use of microencapsulated iron from AB-Fortis®

Our oral Iron supplements contain patented microencapsulated Iron from AB-Fortis®. AB-Fortis® uses and activities are supported by published scientific research. A human clinical trial has shown the high bioavailability of iron, in comparison with iron sulfate. Increased bioavailability of the ingredient should lead to higher blood levels of iron achieved with everyday consumption.

How much iron should you take?

The recommended dietary allowance (RDA) includes the iron you get from both the food that you eat and any iron supplements you consume.

RDA for premenopausal women is 18 mg/day; RDA for all age groups of men and postmenopausal women is 8 mg/day.

“Since ages, iron is known to play an important role in maintaining the health of a person. It is an essential element required for a wide variety of metabolic processes, such as transportation of oxygen, DNA synthesis, and electron transport.

When the dietary intake of iron is insufficient or when the iron stores are exhausted the production of hemoglobin is impaired resulting in low levels of red blood cells, iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency without anemia, nutritional deficiency, and some chronic inflammatory conditions. To improve such conditions, iron supplements are given through various routes, such as oral, intramuscular, and intravenous routes.

Benefits of NanoVeda Iron Strips

NanoVeda Iron Strips help to reduce anemia and prevent fatigue, without causing any undesirable effect on the stomach. More importantly, it has a high absorption rate which is usually not possible when iron is taken through food and other nutritional supplement forms.”
