What it is used for

This syrup is used to prevent and treat iron deficiency and iron deficiency anaemia, along with low intake of B vitamins and zinc. It may be advised for children, during pregnancy, while recovering from illness, or when the diet is poor. A doctor should confirm the cause of anaemia before long-term use.

How it works

Iron polymaltose is iron bound to a sugar complex, which releases iron gradually in the gut for the body to make haemoglobin. B vitamins help the body turn food into energy and make blood cells, and zinc supports growth and immunity.
