■ About Nature Made
Nature Made was launched in 1971 by the American company Pharmavite. It is a very popular supplement brand in the United States.
In Japan, amid concerns about nutritional balance and lifestyle habits in daily diets, Otsuka Pharmaceutical introduced Nature Made in 1993, proposing the incorporation of supplements into daily life for maintaining health, supplementing nutrition, and beauty.
Furthermore, the Japan-specific Nature Made products are formulated with ingredients and raw materials that meet Japanese food standards.

■ Iron: requiring ten times the amount lost
Iron (Fe) plays a vital role in transporting oxygen to various tissues as a component of blood, as well as in oxygen uptake in muscles and enzyme components. Therefore, iron is an indispensable nutrient for maintaining a healthy body.
Since iron is recycled within the body and not easily excreted, it is sufficient to supplement about 1 mg of iron daily. However, the main issue is absorption rate. The average absorption rate is approximately 8%, which is very low, making iron deficiency common worldwide.
For example, spinach, famous from Popeye, contains about 2 mg of iron per 100 g, but with an absorption rate of about 5%, only about 0.1 mg is actually absorbed.
Therefore, it is necessary to consume at least ten times the amount lost, about 10 mg per day (12 mg for women).
Iron is also found in red meat, fish with high absorption rates, hijiki seaweed, clams, komatsuna (Japanese mustard spinach), tofu, and dried daikon radish strips, but it is often difficult to intake enough through diet alone, and many people may have latent iron deficiency.
Supplements can be effectively used to ensure adequate iron intake.
Nature Made Iron (Iron) contains 6 mg of iron per 2 capsules, roughly equivalent to one bunch of spinach.
This mineral is essential for delivering oxygen throughout the body and maintaining vitality. Especially during dieting, sports, and for women, iron deficiency tends to occur, so supplementation is recommended.
This product is certified by JADA (Japan Anti-Doping Agency) as a nutritional functional food (Iron).
Iron is necessary for producing red blood cells.
