Iron & Vitamin C for Kids & Adults Gummies

The importance of Vitamin C for human body is widely known. Good sources of this vitamin are mainly fresh fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, strawberries, cherries, blackcurrant, peppers, broccoli and brussels sprouts.
Iron, on the other hand, is more 'trickier' to supply for our bodily processes in a sufficient quantity. Food sources of iron are mainly red meats and liver; plant sources of iron are: beans, nuts and dried fruits. Health authorities recommend that we reduce amount of red meats we eat. Plant sourced iron (including fortified cereals and grains) are much less absorbable than the meat-sourced.
