Vilgain Iron + Vitamin C - a synergistic combination to support the immune system and reduce fatigue and exhaustion

Vilgain Iron + Vitamin C is a dietary supplement that contains iron in chelated form accompanied by vitamin C. In one vegan capsule you get 100% of the recommended daily dose of both of these micronutrients.

Helps with tissue oxygenation and energy production

Most of the iron in the human body is found in the form of haemoglobin. It is part of the red blood cells and provides oxygen transport throughout the body. A lack of iron in the body can lead to impaired oxygenation of working tissues.

Iron is also a component of some vital enzymes. These are most commonly involved in oxidation‑reduction processes and help with the production of cellular energy.

Pregnant women and new mothers, blood donors and vegans are at risk of deficiency

Pregnant women and new mothers should be careful to ensure that they get enough iron in their diet. For these groups, the Society for Nutrition of the German‑speaking Countries (DACH) recommends an intake of up to 30 mg for pregnant women and 20 mg for breastfeeding and non‑breastfeeding mothers fresh from childbirth.

Risk groups also include regular blood donors and vegans. On average, plant‑based diets contain a lower proportion of iron, which is also less easily used by the body than animal‑based diets.

Bioavailable form of iron

Bisglycinate is one of the best bioavailable forms of iron on the market. This means that our bodies can use it very well. It is also more gentle on digestion than some cheaper forms of iron. In addition to the benefits already mentioned, iron has many other positive effects on the human body:

• it contributes to normal energy metabolism
• contributes to the production of red blood cells and haemoglobin
• contributes to the normal transfer of oxygen in the body
• contributes to the normal function of the immune system
• contributes to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion
• contributes to the process of cell division

Vitamin C increases iron absorption

Iron is supplemented by vitamin C (ascorbic acid), which improves iron utilization. The European Union has approved several health claims for vitamin C:

• Contributes to the maintenance of normal immune function during and after intense physical exercise.
• contributes to the production of collagen for normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth
• contributes to normal energy metabolism
• contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system
• contributes to normal mental function
• contributes to the normal function of the immune system
• contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress
• contributes to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion
