GN Iron Iron Health Line 120 capsule

One capsule of the GN Iron Health Line contains 14 mg of iron. This covers 100% of your daily iron requirement.
The product also contains added vitamin C to optimize iron absorption. Iron is an essential trace element that the body cannot produce itself and plays a key role in blood formation, energy supply, immune function, and performance. A deficiency can lead to fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and a weakened immune system.

For maximum absorption of GN Iron (Iron Health Line), the capsule should ideally be taken on an empty stomach in the morning, about 30 to 60 minutes before breakfast. Alternatively, it can be taken two hours after a meal. Since the product already contains vitamin C, absorption is enhanced; however, taking it with a glass of fruit juice (e.g., orange juice) can further support absorption.
Certain foods and substances contain inhibitors that can significantly block iron absorption in the intestines. These should be avoided for at least two hours before taking the capsule:
1. Beverages containing tannins/polyphenols: coffee, black tea, green tea, and red wine.
2. Dairy products: The calcium they contain hinders the transport of iron into the intestinal cells.
3. Whole grain products, legumes, and nuts: These contain phytates, which bind iron tightly.
4. Certain vegetables: Spinach, rhubarb, and Swiss chard contain oxalic acid, which reduces bioavailability.
5. Phosphate-rich foods: These include, in particular, cola drinks and processed cheese.
6. Medications: Antacids (stomach acid blockers) reduce the stomach acid needed for absorption.

GN Iron capsules from the Health Line series are suitable for both vegetarian and vegan diets, as the capsule shell is made of purely plant-based hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and the product contains no animal-derived ingredients. The iron they contain plays an essential role in energy metabolism in the human body, as it is a key component of hemoglobin and thus plays a crucial role in oxygen transport in the blood. Through this improved oxygen supply to the cells and the support of normal red blood cell formation, iron has been scientifically proven to directly contribute to reducing symptoms of tiredness and fatigue and to maintaining overall cognitive function and physical resilience.

GN Iron contains vitamin C, as it significantly improves the body's absorption (bioavailability) of iron by converting it into a more easily absorbed form. In the immune system, vitamin C supports the function of white blood cells in defending against pathogens and, as an antioxidant, protects cells from oxidative stress. In energy metabolism, it is involved, among other things, in the synthesis of L-carnitine, which enables energy production from fatty acids and thus contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue.
