Goji, an essential ingredient, has long been used to make vinegar, soy sauce, and miso. Goji, which means ‘fermented grain’ in Japanese, comes from spawn grown on rice. As goji goes through ripening and fermentation, iron is produced and naturally stored in goji culture cells. This will provide you with a mild, nutrient-rich source of iron later on. To prevent oxidative stress that can occur from sudden iron intake, you should use a slow-release, highly bioavailable source of iron. ♦ This slow-release iron has been clinically tested. It has been shown to be absorbed into the bloodstream at a slow and uniform rate compared to widely used elemental iron supplements. All living things require iron to perform a variety of essential functions. Iron promotes normal red blood cell production and plays a key role in energy utilization and neurotransmitter synthesis. It is also a major component of hemoglobin, a protein that transports the oxygen needed to provide energy to cells. It is very important to consume adequate amounts of iron. If your iron intake is consistently inadequate, anemia due to iron deficiency may occur if not carefully monitored. In fact, the most recent U.S. Dietary Guidelines list iron as an important nutrient for women of childbearing age. Solgar® Fermented Food Fermentation Iron contains Ultimine™, a patent-pending, slow-release form of iron. Goji fermentation iron is made through a natural process in which iron is produced in goji and absorbed and stored by goji cultures. Through this food-based fermentation process, Solgar® Goji provides slow-release iron that is gentle on the stomach.♦Source: 1 unpublished study (n =16)
