Can the bar replace iron preparations prescribed by a doctor? — Fruits with sea-buckle raw bar 30g -frutilad

FRUTILAD with sea buckthorn is a food supplement, not a medicinal product. This means it is not intended to treat an iron deficiency diagnosed by a doctor and cannot replace prescribed medication.

The difference between a food supplement and an iron preparation is significant: medicinal products contain precisely calibrated doses, undergo clinical trials and are prescribed when a deficiency has been confirmed. A food supplement in bar form is an addition to an ordinary diet for those who want to vary their diet and get an additional source of iron and trace elements in a convenient format.

If you have symptoms that you associate with a lack of iron (chronic tiredness, pallor, breathlessness on exertion), the right step is to have a blood test and see a specialist. Only then is it possible to tell whether a medicine is needed or whether it is enough to adjust your diet and add a bar like this as a supporting source of minerals.

The bar is not intended to diagnose, treat or prevent any disease.
