What does the bar contain, and what are these ingredients for? — Fruits with sea-buckle raw bar 30g -frutilad

The bar is based on dried fruit and apple purée, which create a soft texture and act as a carrier for the added minerals. The flavour is rounded off by sea buckthorn, a berry with a distinct tartness traditionally used in the cuisine of the Baltic states and Eastern Europe.

The key mineral in the formula is iron. It is involved in oxygen transport in the body and is associated with feeling energetic and able to work. Alongside it is copper, which is involved in iron metabolism, meaning that it helps the body use iron properly.

In addition, the bar contains four further trace elements:

• Zinc is involved in numerous enzymatic reactions and metabolic processes.
• Iodine is important for the normal functioning of metabolic processes in the body.
• Selenium is a trace element involved in the body's antioxidant systems.
• Manganese is involved in bone metabolism and a number of enzymatic processes.

This combination makes the bar more than just a fruit snack: it is a functional addition to the diet. At the same time, it remains a supplement to your diet, not a replacement for proper meals. If you take other preparations containing iron or trace elements, keep the total intake of these substances in mind and consult a specialist if necessary.
