Iron (AB-Fortis®)

What is Iron?
Iron is an essential mineral that plays a key role in the production of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport throughout the body. It supports energy production, cognitive function, and a strong immune system. While iron is naturally found in foods like spinach, lentils, and red meat, supplementation is often necessary for those with deficiencies or increased needs.
AB-Fortis® is an advanced microencapsulated iron ingredient developed through a patented process that stabilizes iron within a calcium alginate matrix. This cutting-edge technology enables efficient iron fortification in various foods without affecting their taste, texture, or appearance. Additionally, the microencapsulation process protects sensitive nutrients, such as vitamins and fatty acids, from oxidation, ensuring enhanced stability and bioavailability.

How Does It Work?
- Iron enables the efficient transportation of oxygen to tissues and organs. Haemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and delivers it to cells, ensuring proper energy production and metabolic activity. It also supports myoglobin, a protein that supplies oxygen to muscles, improving stamina and strength.
- Iron is essential for cognitive function, aiding neurotransmitter production and enhancing focus, memory, and overall brain health. Additionally, it plays a role in creating and maintaining a robust immune system by supporting the proliferation of immune cells, enabling the body to fight infections more effectively.
- For women, especially during menstruation, pregnancy, or breastfeeding, iron replenishes lost stores and supports healthy development for both mother and child.
- Iron supports healthy skin by boosting circulation and ensuring a steady oxygen supply to skin cells, enhancing their vitality and radiance. It also plays a crucial role in hair health, strengthening strands and reducing excessive shedding. Additionally, maintaining optimal iron levels helps keep nails strong and resilient, preventing brittleness and breakage.
- AB-Fortis® addresses common challenges associated with iron supplementation, such as metallic taste and gastrointestinal discomfort. Its microencapsulated form ensures high stability and bioavailability, with clinical studies demonstrating comparable absorption to traditional iron supplements but with reduced side effects.
