Everyone knows the nutritional ingredient "iron", but it is a deficiency that is common worldwide. Surprisingly lacking! Why?
Dietary habits: The traditional diet, especially for the Japanese, is mainly rice and fish, partly due to the relatively low content of iron-rich foods such as red meat and offal. Also, people who choose a diet centered around vegetables and grains may be at an even higher risk of iron deficiency.

Ferritin iron ®
Based on the concept of being easy for children and the elderly to consume, it is the world's first soybean-derived ferritin (storage) iron developed by a professor at the University of California. Unlike other iron materials, it does not generate free radicals, which are said to cause various diseases and cancers, and is gentle on the body and has good absorption. Ferritin iron is stored iron in the liver and spleen. It is also called the third nutritional iron. In vivo, stored ferritin iron releases iron when iron is needed and supplies iron to hemoglobin. Iron then combines with oxygen to carry oxygen throughout the body. It is believed that the reason why women have more anemia is because the amount of ferritin (stored) in the body is lower than that of men.
〇Cysteine peptide [yeast containing glutathione]
Cysteine is needed in the body for the synthesis of an antioxidant called glutathione. Glutathione has antioxidant properties and protects cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species caused by stress, excessive exercise, drinking, smoking, and UV rays. It protects the body from excessive active oxygen and prevents disease and aging. Red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's smits, so there is an antioxidant glutathione, and oxygen always oxidizes, so without glutathione, red blood cells will die, so red blood cells need cysteine peptide.
〇 Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a nutrient necessary for the production of normal red blood cells, and plays an important role in transferring iron to hemoglobin in red blood cell cells during production. Therefore, vitamin A deficiency can worsen iron deficiency anemia. The combination of vitamin A and iron supplementation is said to be more effective in controlling anemia than supplementation alone.
〇Vitamin B12
It is an essential coenzyme when cells divide, and it binds to red blood cells in the blood and helps synthesize hemoglobin, which is responsible for carrying oxygen. Red blood cells end their lifespan in about 4 months, so new red blood cells are constantly being produced in the bone marrow. Vitamin B12 works with folic acid to help make red blood cells.
〇Folic acid
Red blood cells have a lifespan of about 4 months, and new red blood cells are constantly being produced in the body. Folic acid, along with vitamin B12, acts as a coenzyme and is involved in the synthesis of erythroblasts, which are the basis of red blood cells. If erythroblasts are not produced normally, red blood cells cannot be produced normally
