Iron Tonic

Iron is an essential mineral that is required to help transport oxygen around the body. It is a key component of haemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells that binds to oxygen in the lungs and carries it to tissues and organs around the body. Without enough iron, the body can't produce enough haemoglobin, leading to fatigue, weakness and decreased oxygen delivered around the body.

Iron is also involved in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the primary energy currency in cells. Iron-containing enzymes play a crucial role in ATP synthesis, which is essential for various cellular processes, including metabolism and enery production.

Iron is required for the synthesis and repair of DNA and also plays a role in immune function by supporting the growth and activity of immune cells.

Now featuring a bioactive plant-based source of iron from Curry
Leaf. Our Iron Tonic has been reformulated to include a naturally
occurring, plant-derived form of iron sourced from Curry Leaf. This provides gentle, bioactive support for maintaining healthy iron levels, making it an ideal option for individuals seeking a more
natural approach to iron supplementation.

Supports:

• Healthy iron status
• Energy production and vitality
• Gentle daily mineral support

Take your dose with a snack or meal that includes Vitamin C such as kiwifruit, citrus fruits, broccoli or tomatoes. Vitamin C helps iron absorption.

Best to avoid coffee, caffeinated drinks and foods high in calcium such as dairy products for at least an hour after taking Iron Tonic - these are iron inhibitors.

Phytates in raw beans, seeds and grains as well as raw legumes such as chickpeas can also inhibit iron absorption. Cook these ones before eating.


Monitor your iron levels closely if you're following a vegan diet or getting all your iron from plants - it's more difficult for your body to absorb iron solely from plant sources.

This is an original Malcolm Harker tonic. Malcolm recommended:

• taking this tonic straight, or added to 50 ml of boiled water as a tea
• avoiding mucus forming foods such as gluten, egg-white, chocolate, dairy, polyunsaturated oils and regular table salt
• adopting gluten-free grain foods, whole foods (greens, fruits nuts, seeds), unprocessed coconut oil and Celtic & NZ Sea Salt with Kelp
  
  With all his tonics, Malcolm Harker recommended using Intestinal Cleanse for 1-2 weeks to reduce parasite populations. By reducing the load on the body of parasites, the body is able to use nutrients from food and the active ingredients in his tonics more efficiently.
