Iron is an integral component of many proteins and enzymes that contributes to reduction of tiredness and fatigue and helps maintain a strong immune system.
Iron deficiency is one of the most common nutritional deficiencies, resulting in fatigue and decreased immunity. If left untreated it can lead to anaemia.
Pregnant and menstruating women, the elderly, athletes, adolescents and vegetarians may have an increased dietary requirement for iron.
Emelin® FF is an innovative iron compound that provides effectiveness, good tolerability and ease of administration. It contains Iron Protein Succinylate as a special form of ferric iron (Fe+3) bound with a protein (casein) in a process called succinylation, which stabilizes the complex.
Some iron supplements may cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipating effects. The unique iron form of Emelin® FF is insoluble in the stomach and it completely bypasses it without causing irritation. The advanced iron form of Emelin® FF provides maximum and controlled absorption that is gentle on the stomach.
The addition of Folic Acid makes Emelin® FF suitable for pregnant women, as well. Supplemental Folic Acid increases maternal folate status and thus reduces the risk for neural tube defects in the developing foetus.
