Iron is an essential mineral, which is required for the formation of haemoglobin. This carries oxygen to the tissues where it is used for the release of energy from food. A part from keeping blood healthy, iron is involved in helping to maintain resistance to infection and intellectual performance. However, sometimes our diets are not well balanced and everyday activities, even drinking tea or coffee, can inhibit iron absorption. Megaglobin provide an effective source of vital blood forming nutrients including organic iron, folic acid and vitamin B12. Excess iron in the stomach is prevented by Megaglobin's special slow release system. This ensures that the release of blood forming nutrients is gradual and even. This unique combination is particularly suitable during pregnancy and for women during the monthly cycle. Athletes and slimmers may also benefit from extra blood forming nutrients.
