Q6
:
Why does Feiron taste salty?
A6
:
Wakame is a seaweed, a plant that grows in the sea. As a result, wakame is naturally salty. Because E. Excel only uses fresh, natural and wholesome wakame in the manufacture of Feiron, the salty taste of wakame is hence, imparted to Feiron.
 
Q7
:
After finishing the beverage, why does Feiron leave behind tiny bits?
A7
:
The tiny bits are actually the ABM mushroom bits, and are perfectly natural and safe to consume.
 
Q8
:
Why is Feiron dark colored?
A8
:
E. Excel only uses natural ingredients and does not include any artificial coloring or flavoring in its products. Hence, Feiron is dark colored due to the inclusion and processing of three of its ingredients: ABM mushroom, spinach and wakame. Spinach is a dark green leafy vegetable while wakame is a dark green seaweed. Together with ABM mushroom, which is also darkly colored, the three ingredients thus impart their coloring to Feiron.
 
Q9
:
Why are green plants especially beneficial for health?
A9
:
Green plants contain chlorophyll, a substance that allows plants to absorb light from the sun and convert it into usable energy. Research has shown that chlorophyll helps decrease damage to genes’ DNA by protecting the body against cancer-causing substances. Hence, a high intake of green plants rich in chlorophyll may help in the prevention and treatment of liver, colon and skin cancer.
 
Q10
:
Can Feiron be taken with other E. Excel products?
A10
:
Yes. All E. Excel products are made from wholesome plant foods, so they can be safely taken together for maximum health benefits. They do not pose any side effects even when taken in excess.
 
Q11
:
Can Feiron be mixed with other E. Excel products?
A11
:
You can add Feiron together with Nutriact I to soups, which will greatly enhance the taste and nutritional value of the soup. However, as Feiron tastes salty, mixing it with other E. Excel products with a different or sweet taste may not be to everyone’s liking.

Please take care when mixing Feiron with other products, because while the nutrients in Feiron can withstand heat, some E. Excel products (e.g. Nutrifresh) should not be mixed with hot water as it could result in the loss of nutrients.
 
Q12
:
How should Feiron be stored? Must it be refrigerated once it is opened?
A12
:
Before opening, please store Feiron in a cool, dark and dry place. After opening, Feiron is best refrigerated, as it contains no preservatives.
 
Q13
:
Is Feiron suitable for pregnant women?
A13
:
Yes. Calcium is essential for pregnant women to build their babies’ bones. For breastfeeding mothers with low bone density to begin with, bone loss that occurs with lactation may put them at risk of fracture. In addition, more iron is needed for the production of red blood cells in both the baby and mother. Feiron is high in iron and calcium, besides containing an array of nutrients and protective substances, which is beneficial for pregnant women as well.
 
Q14
:
Can diabetics take Feiron?
A14
:
Feiron is suitable for most people as it is very low in sugar, and is derived only from wholesome plant foods that are greatly beneficial to health. However, it is best to refer to the nutritional facts label on Feiron and consult your doctor for more advice.
 
Q15
:
Feiron contains sodium. Can people with high blood pressure consume Feiron?
A15
:
Yes. Sodium occurs naturally in some foods, even vegetables. That is because our bodies need a small amount of sodium to function properly. Most of the sodium we consume comes from eating processed foods, and high blood pressure arises only when there is excess sodium in our diet. Just one teaspoon of table salt has 2,325 mg of sodium, and one tablespoon of soy sauce has 1,005 mg! In comparison, Feiron contains only sodium from natural sources and one package of Feiron has only 695 mg of sodium.
 
Q16
:
Why can’t vitamins/minerals in supplement form be used as a substitute for a balanced diet?
A16
:
Most of us assume that supplements contain the ideal dose of vitamins/minerals as their labels usually list the US Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals. However, the RDA only acts as a nutritional guideline. According to nutritionists, it was developed to reverse nutrient deficiency symptoms. So for the average person, the RDA could represent values much higher than the actual need.
 
Q17
:
What sets Feiron apart from other iron/calcium products in the market?
A17
:
Feiron is derived only from wholesome plant foods, which are much superior to nutrients derived from animal sources or supplements because firstly, iron from plant foods is easily absorbed by our bodies and acts as a safety net from excessive intake.

Secondly, animal foods are high in animal protein, which, experts believe, is the main culprit of calcium loss. Plant foods, however, not only supply significant amounts of calcium without the calcium-robbing proteins found in animal foods, but also host a wealth of protective substances such as phytochemicals and antioxidants. In addition, they have no cholesterol and are low in fat.
