mameLAB Soybean Ferritin Iron Supplement
mameLAB (KURUKURU Inc.) (Tokyo)
The mameLAB Soybean Ferritin Iron Supplement lets you easily take in ferritin iron, known as the iron storage protein that stores iron in the body. While it is not commonly obtainable in general supplements, this new product focuses on ferritin iron derived from soybeans, a food ingredient familiar to the Japanese people, and was developed with the goal to support women live healthy and energetic lives for years to come. Conventional iron supplements are sourced from heme iron (contained in meat and fish) or non-heme iron (contained in vegetables and grains); these iron are immediately used up when ingested, thus they are not easily stored in the body. Ferritin iron, on the other hand, are stored in the liver and spleen, and releases iron when there is shortage in the body. Women typically have less ferritin iron in the body compared to men, leading women to be more likely to suffer from iron deficiency. By taking the ferritin iron tablets, these women can efficiently supplement iron. Since the ferritin iron used by mameLAB is derived from soybeans, it is vegan-friendly, and does not have the distinct iron smell like many iron supplements despite being non-coated, so it is easy to consume. Furthermore, two tablets contain approximately 40 billion lactic acid bacteria sourced from the miso manufacturing warehouse in Japan of a long-established miso and soy sauce maker founded in 1772. In addition, the product also contains soybean isoflavone, known for benefits in supporting the changes in the body due to aging, and certain symptoms specific to women.
