More about henna

* Henna has been used for thousands of years and has many healing properties.

* Henna has been used as a medicinal treatment for a range of ailments.

* Henna is known to have a cooling attribute, for this reason it is great to be used in hot climates, and on sealed wounds or burns. So the best time to henna your hair is in the middle of the day.

* The women of the deserts would put henna on the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet for cooling. Traditionally, henna is used to adorn the hands and feet of women for celebrations such as weddings and pregnancy, it is used for this, because it is believed to clear away negative energy and bring harmony to the self.

* Henna is a natural product. It is very rare for henna to cause any skin irritation. But if you have sensitive skin or you are not sure, do a patch test on your skin first, just to make sure.

* If you are applying the henna tree herbal hair colours or cassia conditioning treatment for the first time, you should do a swatch test of your hair first. Especially if your hair is chemically dyed or peroxide bleached.

How it works

Iron is involved in numerous physiological processes in the body. Most importantly, it maintains energy levels, supports healthy red blood cell production and helps with the formation of haemoglobin.

Iron for energy

Iron is important for maintaining energy levels in the body. It does this through helping with the formation of haemoglobin; a component of red blood cells that transports oxygen around the body so it can be used by the cells to produce energy. Iron also helps the body to make healthy red blood cells.

Who needs more iron?

Women have a greater need for iron than men, and according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, up to 40% of women and teenage girls aged 14-50 years are not consuming enough iron.¹Other people who may need more iron than others include vegetarians and menstruating women in the days following their period.

Where is iron found?

Iron in your diet can be found in animal-derived foods (red meat, chicken, fish, eggs), green vegetables (broccoli, spinach), nuts, seeds, lentils, beans and grains (whole wheat, brown rice). You might benefit from taking an additional iron supplement to prevent iron deficiency if you aren’t consuming these foods in sufficient quantities.

Gentle on the stomach, absorbable iron

Fusion Iron Advanced contains iron glycinate (also known as iron bisglycinate or iron (II) glycinate), which is more readily absorbed than some other forms of iron, such as iron sulfate. It also includes vitamin C, which helps increase the absorption of dietary iron.

Iron glycinate is gentle on the digestive system and is a generally well-tolerated form of iron.
