Iron plays an essential role in the body, contributing to normal energy metabolism, oxygen transport and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Women are significantly more likely than men to experience low iron levels, largely due to menstrual blood loss and increased nutritional demands across different life stages.
Vitamin C is also crucial. It contributes to increased iron absorption by helping the body absorb iron more efficiently from the digestive tract. Without adequate vitamin C, even well-formulated iron supplements may not be fully utilised by the body.
That’s why the form of iron matters. Our iron bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron that has been shown in research to be significantly more bioavailable than traditional iron salts. Studies suggest iron bisglycinate may be absorbed several times more efficiently than commonly used forms, while also being gentler on the stomach.
Iron also works best alongside key supporting nutrients such as vitamin B12 and folate, which contribute to normal red blood cell formation and psychological function. Together, these nutrients support the body’s natural processes rather than acting in isolation.
For many women, the real challenge isn’t awareness, it’s consistency. Complicated routines and multiple pills can make daily supplementation difficult to maintain. Salt Sisters was created to simplify daily support into one easy sachet, designed to fit effortlessly into real life.
