Description
Lamberts Bio-Iron Complex 120 Tablets is a vegan food supplement that combines iron as bisglycinate, vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin and L-lysine. Two tablets provide 20mg of iron, 250µg of vitamin B12 and 1000mg of L-lysine. Iron and vitamin B12 both contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and Lamberts describes the bisglycinate form as well absorbed and tolerated by sensitive stomachs.
Key Features

- Vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin: Two tablets contain 250µg of vitamin B12, and Lamberts states methylcobalamin is well absorbed.
- Added L-lysine: Two tablets provide 1000mg of L-lysine, an amino acid that Lamberts notes is most abundant in animal-based foods, which is why it is added for people following a plant-based diet.
