MAGNIFOOD EASY IRON
(Magnifood is a scientifically advanced innovation)
Iron is important to life playing a key role in several systems of the body. Iron plays an important role in the production of haemoglobin within Red Blood Cells (RBC); it is needed for the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to the body’s tissues and the transportation of carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Iron is also needed for special detoxification processes in the liver and for synthesis of key enzymes in energy production and metabolism, including DNA synthesis.

If you don't have enough iron in your body iron-deficiency anemia will occur; it is a common, easily treated condition. Usually low iron levels are due to blood loss, poor diet, or an inability to absorb enough iron from food. Common symptoms of iron-deficiency include fatigue, sore tongue, dysphagia, palpitations on exertion, impaired capacity to maintain body temperature and decreased resistance to infection. Circumstances such as pregnancy and chemotherapy may necessitate supplementation. Since excess iron is toxic this should only be done under the supervision of a physician.

Iron Bisglycinate
Iron Bisglycinate is a chelated form of iron. Chelation is a process where amino acids are attached to a mineral. With Iron Bisglycinate two molecules of the amino acid glycine are bound covalently to a molecule of iron, thus allowing it to be absorbed by the cells of the small intestine intact in a manner similar to amino acid absorption, without the usual irritation and constipation of other forms. This unique iron source allows for the use of less iron, thus meaning fewer side effects and a reduced level of interactions with other minerals and nutrients. Iron Bisglycinate is four times more bioavailable than the commonly prescribed ferrous sulfate. There also seems to be a mechanism that controls absorption, determined by blood hemoglobin levels; an important factor, as large quantities of iron are toxic.

MAGNIFOOD Enhanced Nutrition
In order to get the most out of nutritional supplementation it's necessary to achieve an intense state of synergy in the body. Synergy occurs when an interaction between compounds produces effects that are greater than the combined individual effects of each one. To provide its optimum effect, each vitamin, mineral or any other nutrient must be efficiently absorbed, distributed, metabolised and utilised, and must participate in a wide array of synergistic interactions with enzymes, co-factors, other nutrients. So it's the environment in the body which dictates how beneficial a supplement will be.

Magnifood is a complex of botanicals and phytonutrient-rich foods. The ingredients are combined in a manner which enhances the body's biochemical environment in order to maximise the potential benefits of the product's vitamins, minerals and/or other nutrients. Many of the plants used in Magnifood are fresh freeze dried. Research shows that fresh freeze drying has the unique ability to retain a plant's enzymes, and is shown to be superior to other drying methods in terms of activity, stability, solubility and preservation of a plant's original fresh chemistry (as it was when the plant was harvested). The biochemical profile of a fresh freeze dried plant very closely resembles the profile of the original fresh plant, but in a much greater concentration, due to the removal of the plant's moisture content.

While Magnifood is a scientifically advanced innovation, its origins are deeply rooted in holistic principles. Within each Magnifood complex, the marriage between science and holism produces remarkable effects - effects which are powerfully active, delicately balanced and intensely, profoundly synergistic.

MAGNIFOOD COMPLEX providing:
Rose Hips - Vitamin C significantly enhances the utilisation of iron. With a concentration more than 100 times that of oranges, rose hips are one of nature's richest sources of vitamin C.

Stabilised Rice Bran (SRB) - SRB is one of the richest sources in nature of vitamin E-related compounds including tocopherols and tocotrienols. The inclusion of SRB in this product is primarily to compensate for the oxidising effect that iron has on vitamin E. Although cereal fibres can impair the absorption of various forms of iron, fully-reacted iron bisglycinate is not affected in this manner.

Green Barley Grass - In addition to its iron content, barley grass is an excellent source of chlorophyll and folic acid (which is needed for haemoglobin formation). Chlorophyll is particularly significant in that it is molecularly identical to haemoglobin, with the exception of the fact that it contains magnesium instead of iron.

Acai Berry - Acai berries provide both of the members of the vitamin E family, tocopherols and tocotrienols. As with the stabilised rice bran, acai is included primarily in order to compensate for the oxidising effect of iron on vitamin E.
