EFSA-backed benefits of iron

Iron is an essential mineral with multiple functions in the body. According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), iron contributes to:

• Normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin.
• Normal oxygen transport in the body.
• Normal energy-yielding metabolism.
• Normal cognitive function.
• Normal function of the immune system.
• The reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

These benefits make iron especially important for women of childbearing age, people on vegetarian or vegan diets, athletes, and those suffering from iron deficiency.

What form of iron does it contain and how is it absorbed?

Vitamin Code Raw Iron uses iron from raw, whole foods. Unlike ferrous sulfate or bisglycinate, this iron is extracted from concentrates of organically grown fruits and vegetables. The presence of vitamin C in the formula improves the absorption of non-heme iron, while probiotics and food enzymes aid digestion. Although it does not contain chelated iron, its food-based origin makes it gentle on the stomach and well tolerated, even for people with digestive sensitivities.

Recommended dosage and how to take it

The suggested dose is one capsule daily, preferably with food. To optimize absorption, avoid taking the supplement with coffee, tea, or dairy products, as they can interfere. Combine it with a source of vitamin C (such as a citrus fruit) to maximize its utilization. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. This product is formulated for daily use and is suitable for vegans.

Who can benefit from this supplement?

This iron supplement is especially indicated for:

• Women with heavy periods or of childbearing age, who have higher iron needs.
• People following vegetarian or vegan diets, as plant-based iron is absorbed less than animal-based iron.
• Athletes and active people, who can lose iron through sweat and muscle wear and tear.
• Those experiencing fatigue or lack of energy related to low iron levels.

If you suspect you have an iron deficiency, consult a healthcare professional before starting supplementation.

Possible side effects and precautions

Iron can cause digestive discomfort such as constipation, nausea, or dark stools, although the food-based formula of this product is usually better tolerated. To reduce discomfort, take it with food. Do not take this supplement if you suffer from hemochromatosis or other conditions that cause iron accumulation. Keep the product out of the reach of small children. This product should not be used as a substitute for a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.
