Women are at greater risk than men of developing iron deficiency mostly due to the menstrual cycle. More recently, studies have pointed out that hard training can block iron absorption for women, which makes it even easier for them to develop a deficiency with fatigue, poorer immune system and depression as common symptoms.

Iron is part of the blood's hemoglobin, the red blood cells and is needed to transport oxygen from the lungs out into the body's tissues. Iron is included to regulate the blood's PH, as well as detoxification and production of DNA. Thanks to its important properties, this makes it a key mineral for health.

Folic acid is a B vitamin found in leafy vegetables and in liver. It is needed for cell division and the body's protein metabolism. Folic acid is extra important for those who want to become pregnant already. Folic acid deficiency leads to disturbed cell division, which has the greatest effect on fast-growing tissue, such as during the establishment of new organs in fetuses or blood cell formation in the bone marrow. Swedish nutritional recommendations state that the need is 200ug per day. However, large variations in actual need may exist.

With an intake of 2 tablets, one meets well the recommendations for folic acid supplementation and reaches an effective dose of iron supplementation to avoid iron deficiency. The absorption of iron from the intestine is reduced if it is taken at the same time as coffee, tea, eggs or milk.

Vitamin C increases the absorption of iron in the body, and thanks to its antioxidant properties, folic acid is protected from breakdown
