BjökoVit Iron Citrate Capsules

What is iron and where can I find it? Iron is one of the essential trace elements and performs vital tasks in the human body. Since this element cannot be produced by the body, it must be ingested with food. It is a component of the red blood pigment hemoglobin, the red muscle pigment myoglobin and of important enzymes. The main sources of iron in the vegan diet are vegetables, legumes, fruits, grains, nuts, seeds, and soy.

What is special about BjökoVit Vegi Capsules Iron Citrate and who should take it?We have used the optimized formula for the trace element as a citrate form for our vegi capsules. It does not have to be transformed by the human body and is therefore optimally offered for the metabolism! In addition, our vegi capsules contain natural vitamin C from acerola cherries, which increases iron absorption in the body. Our vegi capsules thus make an excellent contribution to the supply of this trace element!
Why citrate and not other compounds?Citrates are the salts of citric acid. This acid occurs naturally and is therefore a natural compound that is recognized and metabolized by the body. Inorganic compounds of iron, such as ferrous sulfate, must first be converted in the organism to be absorbed.
