Good sources for iron

Daily intake should be at least 18 mg of iron to compensate for losses.

Spinach

900 g contains 18 mg iron

Sauerkraut

1,6 kg contains 18 mg iron

Fried liver

1 kg contains 18 mg iron

Fried meatballs

1 kg contains 18 mg iron

Parsley

500 g contains 18 mg iron

OpFFer tablet

One tablet contains 18 mg OpFFer Original Heme Iron.

No risk of overdosing. No unpleasant side-effects or zinc uptake blockage since

the dose is small. It is however as efficient as a non-heme

tablet with a dose of 150 mg.

Uptake of supplements

Heme iron is taken up at 20 – 40 % compared to non-heme 2 – 4 %, such as for example Ferrous Sulphate.

This means that one tablet of OpFFer® will give up to 7,2 mgs of absorbed iron. This is more than 150 mgs of non-heme iron will give. Unpleasant side effects are dose-related and present in more than 30 % of therapies with non-heme iron. In studies the tolerance of heme iron is virtually perfect.
