Iron is a mineral that is crucial to both our physical and mental wellbeing. Iron is found in every cell of the body. It forms a vital part of haemoglobin, the component of blood that transports oxygen around the body, supplying muscles for physical activity. Iron is also responsible for the excretion of carbon dioxide and for protecting the body against infection.

Thompson's Organic Iron Complete comprises a high potency Iron, Ferrous Fumarate, which yields 24 mg of highly bioavailable Iron. Ferrous Fumarate is well accepted by the body for absorption and is considered to be the best form of supplemental Iron available. Ferrous Fumarate is less constipating than other forms of Iron and does not act as a Vitamin E antagonist.

The absorption of Iron is enhanced through the addition of Vitamin C and Folic Acid to the formulation. Bioavailability is further improved by the inclusion of the Iron-rich super-foods Blackstrap Molasses and Pumpkin Seed to complete the formulation.

Adolescent females are commonly at greatest risk of Iron deficiency due to increased Iron losses at menstruation and poor dietary habits. Pregnancy also places great demands on Iron stores. Eating a strictly vegetarian diet or doing frequent aerobic exercise can further increase the likelihood of low Iron stores in the body.
