I learned the hard way that I was one of countless women suffering from iron deficiency. After neglecting my own health I found myself in desperate need of what I was dedicating my life to research on – blood. Oh, the irony.
However, the iron pills available today were a major disappointment. Not only did they upset my gut, but the body isn't able to absorb the majority of the iron anyway. Something had to be done.
That's why I founded Ironic - to empower women and put an end to the tiredness and fatigue caused by iron deficiency. I refuse to believe that being a woman should mean constantly feeling drained. I am determined to provide a solution that truly works. Join me on this mission to take control of our health and live life to the fullest.
