Nutritional values

The extremely high-quality nutrient mix of this italo-vegetarian slimming product easily irons out a small nutritional sin from the day before! Spinach is considered one of the best vegetable iron suppliers. The vitamin C, which is also included, ensures that the body can use vegetable iron particularly well.

Vitamin C is unfortunately quite sensitive to heat. Drink a glass of orange juice with your meal to make the best use of the iron it contains.
