Buy Organic Iron Tonic (Energy from Thompsons) online.
Thompsons Organic Iron Tonic (THOM416)Iron is one of the most commonly deficient nutrients in our diets, affecting 66-80% of the world’s population according to the World Health Organisation. Many of these people are pregnant women and children where deficiency potentially impacts on growth, poor learning, developmental delays, immune function and, as a recent study has indicated, mother-child bonding. Minerals may be organic or inorganic. Organic forms are better absorbed, less and toxic and are better utilised than the inorganic forms because they are already presented to the body in a form which can be handled better for rapid absorption. Thompson’s Organic Iron Tonic contains the organic Ferrous Gluconate which does not depend upon Vitamin C status for its absorption and it does not antagonise Vitamin E. Thompson’s Organic Iron Tonic delivers a therapeutic 20mg of elemental Iron in every 10ml dose. A drawback to liquid formulations can be taste. Due to a natural flavouring blend of fruit juices (Pear and Grape), Licorice and Stevia, however, Thompson’s Organic Iron Tonic is great-tasting and achieved without the use of artificial flavourings and sweeteners. Thompson’s liquid Organic Iron also contains the important Vitamin B co-factors so important for Iron synthesis; B1, B2, B6, B12 and Folic Acid. Furthermore, the synergistic herbs; Nettle, Horsetail, Withania, Licorice and Gentian, are added to boost efficacy of the formula. A liquid formulation not only allows for better absorption but also allows for easier dosage adjustment depending on age and deficiency.
