ABOUT IRON, VITAMIN C + CHLORELLA:
Not all iron is created equal.
There are different iron compounds, which are absorbed by the body differently. According to our nutritionists, iron bisglycinate is the compound that is best absorbed by the body. It is also highly bioavailable.
The combination with vitamin C significantly increases iron absorption.
