Acerola is a up to about 3m tall shrub , which presumably originated from Mexico. The acerola cherry, which is also called "cherry of the Antilles”, is known for its exceptionally high content of vitamin C.

The need for iron is increased for women with menstrual -related blood loss. The uptake of iron by the body, however, is strongly dependent on the presence of resorption - promoting and -inhibiting substances present in the food.
