Iron is a basic nutrient found in various foods and plays a vital role in human well-being. It is important for the production of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and for the production of certain hormones, connective tissue, and cognitive function. Iron deficiency can lead to learning and/or behavioral problems. Therefore, adequate intake is essential for healthy growth and development.
The amount of iron a child needs varies according to age and sex, but in general, school-aged children should consume around 8-10 milligrams of iron per day. Ensuring children receive the necessary daily intake of iron is essential to prevent the development of iron deficiency anemia. Therefore, it is important to take an iron supplement that adequately addresses these requirements for comprehensive and effective coverage to keep children full of energy and vitality.
FORTIFERRUM® Gummy is a gummy food supplement with a superior form of iron that guarantees an ideal and adequate supply of this mineral for situations of deficiency due to reduced intake or increased organic needs.
FORTIFERRUM® Gummy contains SunActive® Fe, a patented form of micronized and microencapsulated ferric pyrophosphate with high bioavailability and superior absorption. This form is gentler on the stomach and offers much higher absorption than other forms of iron. It also leaves no metallic taste.
