Lamberts Iron 14mg (As Citrate) Description

(Iron health supplement as Citrate).

This product presents iron as a citrate to aid its absorption and utilisation and there have been very few reports of the constipation problems that can be caused by ferrous sulphate supplements. This is important as patient compliance is essential when supplementing with iron since replenishing depleted iron stores can take several months. Each tablet provides a full 14mg of iron (as citrate) which is the recommended daily amount. This iron product is suitable for vegetarians and is produced in premises that operate to stringent pharmaceutical standards of GMP

Supplied in the form of citrate as this is known to be easily absorbed
Some nutritionists consider this form to be less likely to cause constipation than the more common ferrous sulphate
Low iron intakes are surprisingly common in the UK
Iron is known to contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue
We highly recommend that any adult, particularly women of menstruating age, who eat a vegetarian diet, or very little red meat, should consider adding an iron supplement to their daily regime
Suitable for vegetarians

Iron:

Iron is basic to all life processes, since without it oxygen cannot be transported round our bodies. It is also a component of enzymes and proteins and is needed for the metabolism of B vitamins.

Iron acts with protein and copper to make haemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying component of red blood cells
Dietary deficiency of Iron is the most prevalent mineral deficiency in the world today according to World Health Organisation sources
All ages and both sexes are at risk of deficiency, but especially women of child-bearing age
Iron citrate allows maximum absorption and utilisation
This iron formulation should not lead to constipation, as is the case with some other iron supplement

How does iron impact your life?

Scarily, dietary deficiency of iron is the most prevalent mineral deficiency in the world today according to World Health Organisation sources. All ages and both sexes are at risk, but especially women of child-bearing age. In the UK official data shows that 89% of young women have a daily intake of iron which is less than the RNI of 14.8mg. This reflects the move towards vegetarian diets and declining intakes of red meat.
