FERRO-G
[trx_line style=”shadow” color=”#e20813″]
FERRO-G is a gentle liquid iron supplement, providing a organic form of iron, citrate complex, for improved absorption. It provides a gentle, excellent tasting source of iron and other nutrients for the normal formation of red blood cells, to help maintain energy levels, health and vitality.
Haemoglobin for oxygen transport
The formation of haemoglobin for red blood cells requires an adequate supply of iron and other co-factors in the diet. Haemoglobin carries oxygen to the brain, heart, muscles and to tissues throughout the body where it is used for energy release from food. An adequate supply of iron and other nutrients is therefore essential to help ‘feed’ tissues, an important factor in maintaining normal energy levels as well as physical and normal cognitive functions and overall health.
Iron for general health
Besides its role in oxygen transport and utilisation, iron is also essential for many enzymes. It is important for normal growth in children, and the maintenance of the immune system and energy production from food. Since FERRO-G® is a liquid supplement, it is suitable for all ages including children from 1 year old on wards.

A good intake of iron is important to help maintain the normal formation of blood cells and haemoglobin. Healthy blood may help maintain energy levels as well as cognitive function and overall health. The following advice can help maintain optimal absorption of iron and help to support energy levels.
Iron absorption
Meat and animal products tend to contain the haem form of iron which is more readily absorbed by the body. Try to get your iron from these food sources.
Plants usually contain non-haem iron which is more difficult to absorb. Vegetarians and vegans do become more efficient at absorbing this type of iron with time.
Vitamin C aids in the absorption of iron, so have a glass of pure orange juice with meals. Alternatively, combine foods rich in vitamin C with meals. Citrus fruits, berries, green vegetables, peaches, apples, bananas and tomatoes are all good sources.
Vitamin B2 also aids in the absorption of iron, so try combining foods containing vitamin B2 and iron. Goods sources of vitamin B2 include liver, breakfast cereals, bananas, poultry, legumes, cod, egg, spinach and yeast extract.
Drinking tea and coffee tends to decrease iron absorption, so avoid having these drinks at mealtimes. Drink water instead, or diluted fruit juice.
Lifestyle Tips
Exercise can help boost your circulation and give you more energy. Exercise should be regular and vigorous enough to make you slightly out of breath. Aim for 20-30 minutes of exercise three times a week.
Relax! Stress can have a negative impact on your energy levels. Laughing, meditation, tai chi and exercise are all excellent ways to help manage stress.
Make sure you get enough sleep – for most people, an average of 8 hours per night. A lack of sleep can leave you feeling fatigued and make it difficult to concentrate.
