Iron absorptionAs we know, iron deficiency or iron anaemia causes fatigue and can be common mainly in women. The best way to determine lack of iron is to have a blood test as you don’t want to supplement unnecessarily. An overload can be dangerous to the heart and liver. Include more lean beef or ham, tofu, pumpkin seeds, spinach, chickpeas and molasses in your diet or find an iron supplement that is chelated to prevent supplemental constipation. Remember if you are taking vitamin E take it away from your iron and avoid smoking, soft drinks, tea and coffee. These adversely affect iron absorption.

Resveratrol Sources

Resveratrol is concentrated in the skin of red grapes, which is why red wine-especially the Pinot Nior variety-contains far higher amounts of resveratrol than white wines or grape juice. However to obtain the correct dose of resveratrol from red wine you’d have to drink a few bottles of red wine a day - not very good for your liver or memory. However there is good news, you don’t need to drink copious amounts of red wine to get the benefits from Resveratrol as it is also sourced from Japanese Knotweed, a traditional herb used in Japanese and Chinese medicine. Each daily capsule of Resveratrol Plus conatins the equivalent resveratrol content of between 15 and 35 bottles of red wine, without the alcohol induced damage to your liver and memory.
