This is a great source of Iron from all natural plant sources. Even the most carefully planned diet may not contain the natural "Catalysts" our bodies need to fully assimilate and utilize many of the vital minerals and nutrients contained in the foods we eat. That's why New Sun’s Herbal Iron is so important for people who care about their health and well-being. It is readily absorbed by your body. This Iron and vitamin-rich vegetarian, herbal formula contains no yeast, corn, wheat, egg, starch, preservatives or artificial coloring. In our bloodstream, Iron acts like a magnet, attracting and carrying oxygen throughout our bodies. In time, however, this Iron loses its "magnetism" and is eventually eliminated from our system. Iron reserves have to be replenished regularly to maintain a vital, energetic lifestyle.
