Iron tablets ratiopharm® 100 mg film-coated tablets - For the treatment of iron deficiency

Do you often feel tired and exhausted, do you find it difficult to concentrate or is your immune system weakened?These symptoms may indicate an iron deficiency, especially if they are accompanied by stress, fatigue or lack of sleep.Iron plays a crucial role in many body processes, such as blood formation and oxygen transport.It increases our drive and performance as well as concentration and resilience.A sufficient supply of this trace element is therefore essential.

An iron deficiency can be caused by various factors.For example, women lose a lot of iron during menstruation and are therefore more susceptible to deficiency.Exercise, unbalanced nutrition, diets and avoiding meat can also increase iron requirements.After major blood loss, such as during blood donation or surgery, the body may need additional iron.Iron tablet ratiopharm® 100 mg film-coated tablets help to compensate for this deficiency.

It's easy to take: Adults take 1 to 2 film-coated tablets once a day for at least eight weeks.It is ideal to take it 30 minutes before a meal with a glass of orange juice, as vitamin C improves the absorption of iron.It can take a few weeks to months until iron depots are replenished.You should also include iron-rich foods such as sesame, soy, legumes, grains, nuts, fish and meat in your diet.The film-coated tablets are suitable for adults aged 18 and over.
