Premium Bioactive Ingredients
How are we different?
Our Iron Complex Pro Vegan 22.5mg is based on the combination of two iron chelates plus vitamin C to improve iron absorption. It has been specially designed in its composition and dosage to meet the increased requirements of athletes.
According to the current state of research, iron bisglycinate is the iron compound with the highest bioavailability. Iron is bound as a chelate to the amino acid L-glycine and can be absorbed particularly well by the body in this form. Although glycine occurs naturally in nuts, soybeans and lentils, it cannot be isolated from them in large quantities, which is why we have opted for glycine or iron bisglycinate as a pure substance. It is suitable for vegetarians and vegans in this form.
Iron lactate is a very bioavailable chelate in which iron is bound to the salt of lactic acid (lactate). Contrary to what the name suggests, iron lactate is not obtained from milk and is therefore purely vegan. The iron compound is often used as a food additive (e.g., for coloring black olives) and is often found in baby food. The ferrous lactate for our Iron Complex Pro Vegan has a particularly high purity of at least 96%.
Our iron complex contains PureWay-C® to improve iron absorption. The premium vitamin C active ingredient has a special coating of plant-based fatty acids and a citrus bioflavonoid complex for significantly higher absorption, long-lasting retention and protection against oxidation. Only GMO-free maize is used as the raw material for the production of our quality vitamin C. This is processed into the special active ingredient PureWay-C® in an ultra-modern, innovative manufacturing process to the highest quality standards. The end result is highly concentrated vitamin C (at least 99.8% purity) that is completely maize-free, fructose-free and free from residues of chemical solvents.
This product has been tested free from selected doping substances within the scope of the Cologne List®. The Cologne List® is a doping prevention initiative which publishes products which have been independently tested for selected doping substances by a world-class laboratory in food supplement analysis. As a partner of the Cologne List®, we ensure greater transparency in a very heterogeneous market and support athletes, teams, clubs and associations in the assessment of these products.
For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Effects
Effects
The vital, essential trace element iron is essential for oxygen transport in the blood, for cellular respiration and for maintaining the immune system and normal cognitive performance. Iron is found in large quantities in legumes, meat and cereal products, although in the latter it is often in a less bioavailable form. In addition to children and adolescents, women of childbearing age (especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding) and athletes should also have their iron levels checked regularly and ensure that they have a sufficient iron intake.
High bioavailability: combination with cofactor vitamin C
Vitamin C improves iron absorption. Particularly with vegan and vegetarian diets, it is best to take iron together with vitamin C due to the forms of iron found in plants and their phytochemicals that inhibit iron absorption. The combination of iron bound to the amino acid L-glycine, or the salt of lactic acid (lactate), with vitamin C provides a non-animal source of iron with high bioavailability.
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA):
Iron contributes to:
- normal cognitive function
- normal energy metabolism
- normal haemoglobin and red blood cell production
- normal oxygen transport
- normal immune system functioning
- reduction of tiredness and fatigue
