Lucky Iron Leaf

The Lucky Iron Leaf works exactly like the Lucky Iron Fish - just in a new shape!

We designed the Leaf when we were first entering the Indian market, where a large portion of the population is vegetarian. The shape is actually inspired by the Tulsi leaf.  It is a simple cooking tool that is designed to add a significant portion of your daily required iron intake when added to any boiling liquids for 10 minutes. Simply add it to boiling water or any liquid-based meal (such as soups, stews, rice, etc.) and 10 minutes later, you now have iron-fortified water or food!

Features:

• NEW! Now made with electrolytic iron: a clinically proven high-grade iron that is less prone to rusting.
• 100% Vegan
• 100% Natural
• Reusable and affordable
• No side effects
• Clinically tested, safe, and easy to use
• Lasts 5 years (that's 1,800 uses!) 

Boost Your Iron Intake in 3 Easy Steps!

• Boil 1L (4 cups) of liquid. Water, soup, curry, the options are endless!
• Add your Lucky Iron Leaf to the boiling liquid. If it is just water, also add half a tsp of citrus.
• Enjoy your iron-fortified meal or drink, after boiling for 10 minutes.

How Does it Work?
When added to the slightly acidified boiling liquid, the Lucky Iron Leaf will release microscopic iron particles off its surface and into the liquid! This is also why it is recommended to use the product in liquid-based meals such as soups, in dishes like oatmeal or rice where all the liquid is  fully absorbed.

Is 6-8 mg of Iron Really Enough?
Most adults need 8-18mg of iron per day, depending on their lifestyle and life stage. When used as directed, the Lucky Iron Leaf provide 6-8mg of bioavailable iron per use, which is a majority of daily iron intake for most individuals.

Can it Release too Much Iron and Cause Toxicity?
The Lucky Iron Leaf would have to be intentionally misused (e.g. boiling for hours at a time) to release too much iron. This would also change the taste and smell of the liquid making it very undesirable to use. When used as directed, these cooking tools can be a great source of easily absorbable iron. When concerned about any supplementation regime, we always recommend that you talk to your healthcare professional.

Can the Whole Family Eat Foods Fortified by the Lucky Iron Life Cooking Tools?
Yes. The Lucky Iron Leaf releases gentle amounts of easily absorbable iron and is therefore safe to use for most individuals including pregnant and nursing mothers.

*We have not tested use of the Lucky Iron Fish/Leaf on infants under 12 months of age. According to Canadian Paediatric Society guidelines, most infants do not require additional iron in the first year of their life. However, if your baby’s physician decides that the baby needs more iron then we suggest that you follow their advice about the best way to treat your infant.

*We do not recommend using it if you have a hemoglobin variant such as Hemochromatosis, which is a genetic disorder that makes it difficult for the body to deal with iron.

*Lucky Iron Life products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Carefully read all product materials before use, and ask your healthcare provider if this product is right for you. Iron taken in excess can be harmful to both adults and children. If you are not certain or have any concerns, please consult your healthcare provider.
