FeMe Complex

When it comes to the quality and safety of our products, compromise is not an option. Therefore, all Health Labs Care supplements are tested for mold, yeast, bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella, as well as their PAH (total benzo[a]anthracene, benzo[b]fluoranthene, chrysene, and benzo[a]pyrene) and heavy metal (lead, cadmium, mercury) content. 

Each batch of every supplement is tested in an independent, certified laboratory: J. S Hamilton Poland, which complies with the highest quality standards, confirmed by the Polish Center for Accreditation and by its continued membership in Polish and international associations such as FOSFA (Federation of Oils, Seeds and Fats Associations) and GAFTA (Grain and Feed Trade Association).

Due to the iron content in the FeMe Complex dietary supplement, bear in mind the recommendations of the Polish Society of Gynecologists and Obstetricians:

• before the 16th gestational week (in the 1st trimester), iron supplementation is only recommended for women with diagnosed iron-deficiency anemia;
• after the 16th gestational week (in the 2nd and 3rd trimester), it is recommended to supplement 30 mg of iron per day.

Consult a physician before you start taking the FeMe Complex dietary supplement.

The FeMe Complex dietary supplement is for adults. Consult a physician before you give the FeMe dietary supplement to children. 

Taking iron for extended periods of time can weaken the body’s microbiota, which is why it is worth monitoring ferritin and iron levels, and consult the results and potential supplementation with a doctor. If you need to take iron for severe anemia, it is worth using probiotics that will protect your microbiota to some extent.

The FeMe Complex dietary supplement contains iron as well as vitamin C and lactoferrin which increase its absorption. It is also worth combining the FeMe Complex dietary supplement with probiotics. 

If you do not take any medication (for example thyroid hormones etc.) in the morning, you can take FeMe Complex before your first meal.

Too much iron in the body can cause constipation. The FeMe Complex dietary supplement contains iron chelate which should not cause such symptoms. However, if you notice this symptom, take ½ of the recommended FeMe Complex dietary supplement portion (1 capsule a day) and add probiotics. In case of more severe problems, consult your doctor.

The most absorbable iron comes from meat (around 25–50% absorbability). Iron from plants is much less absorbable (approx. 1–10%). When it comes to supplementation, the best absorbed forms are iron chelates, for instance iron diglycinate. Sulfates and fumarates are the least absorbable forms. It is important to take iron with vitamin C, as it increases absorption of this element. The FeMe Complex dietary supplement contains iron chelate in the form of iron diglycinate.

When you take iron, you may experience constipation, nausea, metallic taste in your mouth, or black stools. These are the most frequent problems which subside when you stop taking iron.

The following products are rich in iron: lean red meat, lean cold cuts, liver, egg yolks, cocoa, soy, white beans, apricots, wheat bran.
