180 capsules. Ingredients: Hemoglobin powder (from bovine) och vegetable capsules (pullulan).
Origin of the hemoglobin powder: The Netherlands
Our hemoglobin powder is produced in the Netherlands by the only manufacturer of its kind within the EU capable of producing hemoglobin powder of this quality from cattle. Our specialized producer is a global leader in innovative and renewable raw materials derived from the meat industry and works exclusively with recovering valuable nutrients from by-products that would otherwise go to waste.
There is currently no niche organic production of this raw material. The cattle may come from different types of farms, provided that all quality and safety requirements are met.
The hemoglobin powder is rigorously tested for pathogens, pesticides, heavy metals, antibiotics, hormones, and other contaminants, and complies with one of the EU’s strictest regulatory frameworks for food production. Because the raw material, blood, when handled correctly, is essentially sterile, the final product is exceptionally pure. It is one of very few animal-based raw materials, possibly the only one, where organic production does not result in a higher-quality end product.
That said, we naturally support high standards of animal welfare and hope to see dedicated organic production become possible in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Feméa
-
It is intended for fertile women and can be used by anyone who wants to boost their diet with natural heme iron.
Iron supplements can be taken if necessary during, for example, pregnancy, breastfeeding, heavy menstruation, intense exercise or after donating blood. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should first consult a midwife or doctor.
-
Heme iron always comes from animal sources and is absorbed significantly better in the body than so-called non-heme iron, which is found in vegetarian and synthetic sources in various forms. Heme iron has been shown in studies to be a source of iron with high bioavailability that is gentle on the stomach.
Heme iron is absorbed into the body through a unique mechanism of absorption - likely including a transport protein called HCP1 ( Heme Carrier Protein 1 ), which distinguishes it from all other types of iron. Research is ongoing to fully understand the mechanism of absorption of heme iron into the body.
-
There is no specific organic production within the EU, but animals can come from both conventional and organic farms.
We obviously still want fully organic production for the future, based on care for animal husbandry, but this does not affect the quality of the raw material in any way.

Vårt hemoglobinpulver är en ren foodtech-råvara som används inom livsmedels- och läkemedelsindustrin. Det har genomgått strikta kvalitetskontroller avseende pesticider, patogener, antibiotika, hormoner, tungmetaller och andra oönskade ämnen.
Till skillnad från andra delar av djuret – som lever och njure, vilka kan ackumulera tungmetaller över tid – är blod en steril råvara vid korrekt hantering. Det gör slutprodukten särskilt ren och av mycket hög kvalitet.
