Iron and vitamin C content confirmed via laboratory testing

Our natural and completely plant-based iron is standardised to 14mg per capsule and is obtained from a gentle water extract of iron-rich curry leaves. The curry trees are cultivated in India without the use of plant protection products, and there is no use of other solvents such as N-hexane, methanol or acetone in the production of the curry leaf extract, making it free of any solvent residues. Regular laboratory testing by the manufacturer guarantees the iron content and the absence of heavy metals and pesticides.

We combine the curry leaf extract with natural vitamin C from acerola cherries, a fruit naturally very high in vitamin C, to increase the absorption of iron in the intestines. The acerola powder is ground from cherries grown in Brazil without the use of plant protection products. They are gently freeze dried to preserve their high nutrient value, ensuring an exceptionally high vitamin C content of 30% without the need to perform any extractions. The acerola powder is therefore naturally free of maltodextrin and other commercially available extraction agents.

The raw materials are produced according to the highest purity and quality standards in India and Brazil.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Effects

Iron is an essential trace element that plays a critical role in the transport of oxygen in the blood as well as in cellular respiration, the maintenance of the immune system and normal cognitive performance. Iron is found in high amounts in legumes, meat and cereal products, although often in less bioavailable forms in the latter.

High bioavailability: combination with cofactor vitamin C

The iron that naturally occurs in curry leaves is highly bioavailable, although not as high as that normally found in animal products; plant-based iron is typically less easily absorbed by the human body than iron from meat because the phytic acid produced by iron-rich plants inhibits mineral absorption. We increased the bioavailablity of our plant-based iron through the extraction process, which breaks down the phytic acid in the curry leaves, and by combining the extract with vitamin C. The end result is a 100% plant-based iron supplement with very high bioavailability.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):

Iron contributes to:

normal cognitive function
normal energy metabolism
normal haemoglobin and red blood cell production
normal oxygen transport
normal immune system functioning
reduction of tiredness and fatigue

Dosage

Directions

Take 1 capsule (14mg iron + 50mg vitamin C) with 200ml water 1 hour before a meal daily.
