The Lucky Iron Fish is shaped after the kantrop fish - a symbol of luck in Cambodia, and also a commonly-found fish in Cambodian rivers, where this idea began. It’s made from specially formulated iron that is released from the Fish when boiled for 10 minutes in slightly acidified water or broth.  The unique size, shape and surface area of the Fish are designed to release a safe and consistent amount of iron when used as directed. Their clinical research shows that using the Lucky Iron Fish 3 times a week for 3-12 months increases levels of circulating and stored iron. It does not change the taste, colour or smell of the food it is cooked in, and can be reused for up to 5 years.The Lucky Iron Fish is a natural, affordable, and effective way to add healthy iron to your diet, and help improve the lives of others.
