Solgar® Earth Source® Koji Iron provides Ultimine™, a unique under patent bioavailable slow release iron.
Fermentation can improve the nutritional profile of a food and increase the absorption and bioavailability of vitamins and minerals. However, this may depend on the fermentation method and the type of food fermented.
In the process followed, iron is introduced to the Koji material where it is absorbed and stored in the Koji fungus culture. Through this fermentation of natural foods, Solgar® Earth Source® Koji Iron provides a slow release form of iron that is gentle and does not burden the stomach. It is also suitable for Vegans.
Iron is mainly found in animal proteins, such as lean meat and seafood, but also in nuts, tofu, and white beans in smaller amounts. Iron helps in the production of hemoglobin, the pigment of red blood cells, which helps in the transport of oxygen in the body. Additionally, it helps in the activation of the body, while athletes may need more iron to support oxygen transport to muscles to continue exercising.
The Solgar Earth Source® Koji Iron phytocapsules are suitable for vegetarians and provide the convenience of 27 mg fermented koji iron in one dose.
Iron supplement may be important for people who follow plant-based (vegetarian/vegan) diets and women during menstruation as both groups may be more susceptible to iron deficiency.

• normal cognitive function
