Apexx Log - Iron (Ferrous Fumarate)


Category: Essential trace mineral 
Form Used in Apexx01: Ferrous Fumarate 
Dose per Serving: 14 mg 
Verification: Independent EU laboratory testing for identity, purity, and heavy metals 

What Iron Is 

Iron is an essential mineral central to oxygen transport, energy metabolism, and red blood cell formation. It forms the core of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. 

Iron also supports normal cognitive function, immune function, and reduction of tiredness and fatigue. 

It is a structural mineral with direct influence on daily energy levels. 

Why Iron Is Included in Apexx01 

Iron contributes to multiple EFSA-authorised physiological functions, including: 

  • normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin 

  • normal oxygen transport in the body 

  • normal cognitive function 

  • normal energy-yielding metabolism 

  • reduction of tiredness and fatigue 

  • normal function of the immune system 

Because iron needs vary widely by diet, activity level, and biology, a predictable daily intake supports metabolic stability. 

Why This Form: Ferrous Fumarate 

Ferrous fumarate is used because: 

  • it is one of the best tolerated iron salts 

  • it has high elemental iron density 

  • it integrates cleanly inside multi-nutrient formulas 

  • it produces consistent analytical results under independent lab testing 

It provides reliability without unnecessary gastrointestinal stress typical of other iron forms. 

Why This Dose: 14 mg 

This level: 

  • aligns with European nutrient reference values 

  • supports normal iron metabolism without excess 

  • is safe for long-term use across diverse populations 

  • avoids saturation or oxidative stress associated with high-dose iron 

Iron is effective within a controlled range. 
The goal is contribution, not intensity. 

How Iron Works Inside the Full Formula 

Iron interacts with: 

  • Vitamin C → supports iron absorption 

  • B12 and Folate (5-MTHF) → red blood cell formation 

  • Copper → iron transport pathways 

  • Amino acidshemoglobin structure 

Iron strengthens the energy and oxygen-transport layer of the protocol. 

Verification & Testing 

Each lot is screened for: 

  • identity 

  • heavy metals 

  • microbiology 

  • purity 

  • stability 

  • correct elemental iron content 

All documented under a Certificate of Analysis. 

Compliant Summary 

  • Form: Ferrous Fumarate 

  • Dose: 14 mg 

  • Multiple EFSA-recognised physiological functions 

  • Synergistic with vitamin C, B12, folate, and copper 

  • Verified batch-by-batch
