Burgerstein Iron plus is a high-quality complex for better absorption of iron and contains
- organic iron
- copper
- supplemented with vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B12 as well as pantothenic acid, folic acid and vitamin C.
Burgerstein Iron plus is well tolerated and should be taken regularly over a long period of time. The vitamin C it contains increases iron absorption and copper contributes to normal iron transport in the body.
The amount of iron absorbed by the body varies depending on the food. Iron from animal foods has a so-called "better bioavailability", namely up to 4x as high as from plant foods. The absorption of iron is inhibited by certain substances in cereals, brown rice, maize, pulses and soy products. Combining these foods with products such as meat, fish, poultry and vitamin C can favour iron absorption and increase it 10-fold. This means that the combination of foods is more important than the level of iron content of individual foods.
Tea and coffee inhibit the absorption of iron into the body, as does calcium from milk, so it is recommended not to drink these beverages immediately after meals.
Vegetarians and vegans must therefore pay special attention to their iron status because they eat a meat-free diet. They should add vitamin C and/or foods containing citric or lactic acids to their plant foods. These acids increase the absorption of iron from the other foods (fruit and raw vegetables).
As a component of haemoglobin, iron is involved in the transport and storage of oxygen in the blood and is also involved in energy metabolism.

Iron for the body
An iron deficiency can have effects on the whole body, e.g.:
- Central nervous system: there may be dizziness, headaches, depression, decreased performance or poor concentration.
- Cardiovascular and cardiopulmonary system: with cardiac arrhythmia, palpitations, heart palpitations, shortness of breath, tiredness, exhaustion or fatigue.
- Metabolic functions: possible consequences such as muscle atrophy, loss of appetite up to anorexia; sometimes an iron deficiency even triggers abnormal binge-eating.
- Skin, hair and nails: signs include: Paleness, torn corners of the mouth, regression of the mucous membranes or brittle nails and hair.
- Immune system: Iron deficiency can cause a weakened immune system and, as a result, an increased incidence of infectious diseases.
- On our cells with regard to energy gain, e.g. in muscle cells
