Sea buckthorn for iron
Sea buckthorn carries iron, and this formulation concentrates on it.
Sea buckthorn carries iron, and this formulation concentrates on it.
What the berry carries
Sea buckthorn contains iron — the manufacturer's panel gives 1.58 mg per 100 ml of the plain juice, so a 10 ml serving carries a tenth of that. Ferrosash is the formulation that concentrates on iron specifically.
This one needs a doctor. Suspected anaemia is diagnosed with a blood test, not guessed at, and iron supplementation without a diagnosis can do harm. If you think your iron is low, get it measured first. This is a food, not a treatment for a deficiency.
Absorption
Plant iron is absorbed less readily than iron from meat, and vitamin C helps. Sea buckthorn happens to carry both in the same fruit, which is the sensible part of the reasoning behind this product.
