Arthrospira Maxima is a species of the spirulina plant, a natural microalga and is a natural source of iron. Studies have shown that adding spirulina to your routine could help detox your body and boost energy levels.

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a leafy green vegetable that originated in Persia and is a good natural source of iron. It is considered very healthy, as it is rich in nutrients and antioxidants.

Iron (II) Glycinate (Ferrous Bisglycinate) has been shown to be more effectively absorbed than other types of iron chelate. Iron participates in energy production, oxygen transport and immune activity.

The main action of iron is to facilitate the transport of haemoglobin, the oxygen carrying pigment to the erythrocytes (red blood cells). It is also involved in the oxygen storage by myoglobin, an iron-containing protein that transports and stores oxygen within muscle and releases it to meet increased metabolic demands during muscle contraction.

Vitamin B1 or Thiamine is a water-soluble vitamin that is used in nearly every cell in the body. It supports energy levels and a healthy metabolism. Humans cannot produce thiamine, so it must be sourced from the diet or supplements to prevent thiamine deficiency.

Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2, is a water-soluble vitamin that is involved in energy metabolism. It works by helping the body utilise other B vitamins, such as niacin and thiamine, so we can produce energy from the foods that we eat.

Pyridoxine is in the vitamin B family of vitamins. Vitamin B6 is a water-soluble vitamin that your body needs for several functions. It has health benefits for the body, including promoting brain health and improving mood.

Vitamin B9, is a water-soluble vitamin naturally found in food as tetrahydrofolate derivatives. Folate helps iron absorption and reduces symptoms of iron deficiency.

Vitamin B12 is involved in helping the body make red blood cells and keeping the nervous system healthy, release energy from food and metabolise folate. A lack of vitamin B12 could lead to vitamin B12 deficiency anaemia. Deficiencies in vitamin B12 can result in diminished energy and exercise tolerance, together with fatigue and shortness of breath. These hematologic symptoms regress and disappear with supplementation with vitamin B12 (Journal List Nutrients v.12(1); 2020 Jan). Ultra Nature Iron Advanced contains hydroxocobalamin which is a bio-available type of Vitamin which means the body absorbs it more easily.

Vitamin C has been shown to enhance iron absorption. It captures non-heme iron and stores it in a form that’s more easily absorbed by your body (Am J Clin Nutr. 2010). Ultra Nature contains 250mg of ascorbic acid to ensure maximum iron absorption. Taking 100 mg of vitamin C with a meal increased iron absorption by 67% (Am J Clin Nutr. 2000).
