Descriptions:
Iron is an essential micronutrient required for the transport of oxygen in the body, metabolism, immunity, and enzyme function. There are two types of iron in foods: haeme iron, found in meat, fish, and eggs; and non-haeme iron, found in both animal foods and plant foods, such as vegetables and legumes. The non-haeme iron found in plant foods is less well absorbed than haem iron, and its absorption can be further reduced by dietary factors such as phytates ( found in grains and legumes ), and polyphenolic compounds in tea and coffee ( 1 ). In five separate clinical trials, the addition of the probiotic Lactobacillus plantarum 299v has been shown to increase the amount of non-haeme iron absorbed from foods and drinks ( 2 ) ( 3 ) ( 4 ). Biome Iron + Probiotic contains Lactobacillus plantarum 299v ( 10 Billion Live Bacteria ), plus a carefully balanced dose of iron ( 4.2mg ) and vitamin C to optimise absorption. Biome Iron + Probiotic may help to maintain normal iron levels in people who aren't able to meet their body's iron needs from food alone.
