Iron Restore Complex

Iron Restore Complex

Honey mushroom (Armillaria mellea) polysaccharide–iron complex raised hemoglobin, serum iron, and ferritin more than standard iron salts at the same iron dose, while reducing oxidative stress and boosting antioxidant enzymes. Mushroom-bound iron was both more bioavailable and less irritating, supporting safer, more effective correction of iron-deficiency anemia.
