FerroLeaf Ultra+ C 22 mg capsules
- Well-tolerated iron from curry leaf: Due to the natural storage form ferritin, the iron is released slowly and is well tolerated.
- Natural vitamin C from rose hips: Rosehips provide highly concentrated, natural vitamin C, which naturally optimizes iron absorption.
- Optimized absorption through ferritin & vitamin C: Ferritin protects the iron from absorption inhibitors, while vitamin C promotes conversion into the more readily available form.

The iron capsules combine 22 mg of plant-based iron from curry leaf extract with 12 mg of vitamin C from rosehip extract - a synergistic combination that ensures optimal absorption.
Why iron is important:
- Contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin
- Supports normal oxygen transport in the body
- Helps to reduce tiredness and fatigue
- Contributes to normal cognitive function
Top bioavailable and well-tolerated iron
- Plant iron is often considered “poorly absorbable” - but studies show that iron from curry leaves is protected by ferritin and is effectively absorbed.
- Ferritin as a natural storage form of iron protects against absorption inhibitors and oxidative stress.
- No denaturation in the stomach - slow release in the intestine ensures optimum tolerability
High-quality, standardized source of iron
- Contains curry leaf extract (Murraya koenigii), gently extracted with water
- Extraction ratio 50:1 for a high concentration
- Standardized to at least 3% elemental iron for a reliable supply
Maximized bioavailability through vitamin C
- Vitamin C acts as a cofactor and reduces iron(III) to more absorbable iron(II).
- This combination further optimizes iron absorption.
High-quality, natural source of vitamin C
- Rosehip extract (Rosa canina) - one of the best natural sources of vitamin C
- Extraction ratio 14:1 for a particularly high concentration
- Standardized to at least 50 % vitamin C
- High-quality source of iron: Contains curry leaf extract (50:1), standardized to at least 3 % elemental iron.
- High bioavailability & tolerability: Protected by ferritin, slow release and well tolerated.
- Optimized absorption through vitamin C: Vitamin C improves iron absorption by converting iron (III) into the more readily available iron(II) form.
- Natural source of vitamin C: Contains rose hip extract (14:1), standardized to at least 50 % vitamin C.
- Vegan and allergen-free: Free from animal ingredients, gluten, lactose and soy - ideal for vegans and allergy sufferers.

You already knew?
Iron comes in two forms: heme iron from animal foods, which is absorbed more quickly, and non-heme iron from plants, which is often better tolerated and easier on the stomach. But not every plant source of iron is the same!
Iron valencies:
- Trivalent iron (Fe3+) is found in plant-based foods and must first be converted into bivalent iron. Vitamin C improves this conversion and increases absorption.
- Divalent iron (Fe2+) is more bioavailable and is utilized directly. It is found in animal products, but also in plant sources if it is protected by ferritin.
The curry leaf (Murraya koenigii) is a natural source of iron with valuable nutrients. Appreciated in the Ayurvedic tradition for centuries, it provides iron in a particularly well-tolerated and easily utilized form - a gentle, plant-based alternative!

Frequently asked questions
Can the product be taken during pregnancy and breastfeeding?
Yes, herbal iron from curry leaf extract is well tolerated and can support the increased iron requirement during pregnancy and breastfeeding. As individual requirements may vary, we recommend consulting your doctor or midwife.
May children take the product?
Children should only take iron supplements after consulting a doctor to avoid an overdose. Please consult a pediatrician before taking the product.
Why are enteric-coated capsules not necessary?
Vegetable iron from curry leaf extract is protected by ferritin. This natural storage form protects the iron from stomach acid and ensures a slow, gentle release in the intestine. An enteric-coated capsule is therefore not necessary.
Is the product well tolerated?
Yes, plant-based iron is considered to be particularly well tolerated. Iron from curry leaf extract is released slowly and gently processed by the body.
How does vitamin C improve iron absorption?
Vitamin C helps to convert the trivalent iron (Fe3+) into the more easily absorbed bivalent form (Fe2+). The vitamin C from rose hips contained in our product thus maximizes iron absorption in a natural way.
Are there any interactions with other nutrients or medications?
Yes, some substances can influence iron absorption:
- Calcium (from 300 mg) & dairy products: Can inhibit absorption - keep at least 2 hours away.
- Caffeine (tea & coffee): Tannins block iron - best to avoid 1-2 hours before/after.
- Zinc & magnesium (from 150 mg): Can compete with iron for absorption - better to take with a time delay.
- Medication (e.g. antacids, thyroid hormones, antibiotics): Iron can influence the effectiveness - check with your doctor beforehand.
