{"product_id":"iron-c","title":"Chief Nutrition Iron + C","description":"\u003cp\u003eIron + C delivers 12mg of iron per serve from organic beef spleen and liver - naturally rich sources of haem iron, the form of iron that is typically more readily absorbed by the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula is designed to support healthy iron levels, particularly for women or anyone with increased iron requirements. To enhance absorption, acerola cherry - naturally high in vitamin C - is included to support the body’s uptake of iron.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy pairing haem iron with its natural cofactors, including B vitamins and trace minerals found in whole organs, this blend works in harmony with how nutrients occur in nature. Unlike many synthetic iron supplements made from isolated iron salts, IRON + C uses freeze-dried, real food ingredients. This helps deliver iron alongside its naturally occurring companion nutrients in a convenient, taste-free capsule format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleanly sourced from certified organic, grass-fed, regeneratively farmed cattle, these organs are produced without added hormones, antibiotics, or glyphosate. Freeze-drying helps preserve nutrients, while encapsulation makes it simple to add to your daily routine. Iron support, as nature intended. **Why do we need iron?** * Oxygen transport – Iron is a key component of hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs to every cell in your body. * Energy production – Iron helps support normal cellular energy metabolism and ATP production, which fuels muscles and brain activity. * Brain function – Adequate iron supports brain function, including focus, memory, and learning. * Immune health – Iron contributes to immune system function, helping your body respond to everyday immune challenges. * Hormone and growth support – Iron is important for thyroid function and overall growth and development, particularly in women, children, and those with higher iron needs. **What's the difference between non-haem iron and haem iron?**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNon-haem iron is found in plant-based foods and is less readily absorbed by the body, while haem iron, from animal sources like beef, has a significantly higher absorption and supports optimal haemoglobin production. Haemoglobin is a protein found in red blood cells responsible for transporting oxygen around the body for cellular and metabolic function. When iron levels are low, it creates a ripple effect – leading to low haemoglobin production, which leads to low oxygen transportation… which leads to tiredness and fatigue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDietary Supplement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIron Content\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12mg per serve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource of Iron\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrganic beef spleen and liver\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Ingredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAcerola cherry, gelatine capsule\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary Certifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrganic, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Keto Friendly, FODMAP Friendly, Paleo Friendly, Low Carb, Low Sugar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended Intake\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 capsules per day\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConsult a healthcare practitioner prior to use if pregnant, nursing or taking medications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStore in a cool dry place\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Chief Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51650208235841,"sku":"CB-IRON-C-120","price":59.8,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0338\/3269\/files\/Iron_CFront.png?v=1776469143","url":"https:\/\/www.supplements.co.nz\/products\/iron-c","provider":"Supplements.co.nz","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
