Chela-Fer Menstrual Effervescent Fizzi Tabs 20

Chela-Fer Menstrual is a fizzy iron drink designed for use around menstruation. It provides gentle chelated iron with vitamin C for absorption, to replace what is lost each month. Twenty tablets suit a cyclical routine. Iron is the core of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to every tissue. It is also needed for energy production in muscle and for normal immune and cognitive function. Vitamin C supports the function of white blood cells, protects cells from oxidative stress and is required to build collagen in skin, gums and blood vessels. It also improves the absorption of iron from food.

Heavy periods are the number one cause of low iron in women, and the tiredness that follows is often accepted as normal when it is not. Iron deficiency is the most common nutritional deficiency in South African women. If you are tired all the time, get breathless on the stairs or have been told your iron or ferritin is low, a well-tolerated iron supplement is the way to rebuild your stores.
