Iron Tonic
£16.95 500ml
A rich mixture of organic apricots, blackstrap molasses and red wine, enhanced with six iron rich herbs to provide a delicious and nutritious source of iron. Though prescription supplements will have a higher iron content, this traditional blend is a concentrated source of food-based iron which is generally more easily absorbed, rich in many other minerals and active constituents, and specifically formulated to gently and naturally avoid unpleasant side effects of iron supplementation such as constipation and griping.
Ingredients:
- Blackstrap molasses
- Organic unsulphated apricots
- Red wine
- Tinctures of gentian, ginger, yellow dock root, nettle leaf, damiana, rhubarb root
Shake well before use. Take one tablepoon spoon 1-2 times per day. Take on an empty stomach and 2hrs away from coffee, black tea and other tannin rich foods which reduce iron absorption.
Keep in a cool dark place. Once opened store in the fridge and consume within 1 month.
Iron absorption is increased further by vitamin C, so feel free to have an orange too.
Dietary sources of iron can play a major role in feeling better faster and avoiding iron deficiency in the first place, check out this information about iron rich foods for all diets.
This iron tonic is safe and well tolerated in pregnancy from the second trimester onwards (iron supplementation is generally not recommended in the first trimester).
Though some of the ingredients have cautions about their use in pregnancy, the recommended dose for this produce provides levels well below any potential for concern and the alcohol level will be very low (most is evaporated off). If you have any queries please contact us or your health provider.
