How is hematogen different from ordinary sweets, and why does it contain beef albumin?

In appearance hematogen resembles a soft fruit pastille or a milk bar, but its composition differs from ordinary sweets. The key component is beef albumin, a protein of animal origin traditionally used in hematogen as a source of iron. Iron is involved in carrying oxygen in the blood, and its presence in the diet is associated with maintaining normal energy levels.

The composition also includes vitamin C, which helps the body absorb iron from food better — a standard and well-studied combination in products with iron-containing components.

It is important to understand, however, that HEMATOGEEN 50G contains a noticeable amount of sugar, so it is regarded as a treat with a special composition rather than a dietary supplement or a substitute for a balanced diet. The product is not intended to treat or prevent any condition.

If you watch your sugar intake, are sensitive to dairy ingredients or are choosing iron-containing products for medical reasons, it is worth consulting a specialist before buying.
