The Lucky Iron Fish™ is a safe, effective, easy to use solution for iron deficiency. It is simply a piece of iron that you use in the cooking process that releases 75% of your daily-required iron intake and is reusable for up to 5 years. The iron is shaped like a fish, a symbol for luck in Cambodia, the country that inspired this health innovation and where The Lucky Iron Fish Project operates and invests – improving both the health and wealth of Cambodian communities. Everything from the fish itself to the packaging and creative tools are produced in Cambodia using recycled materials and in partnership with local social agencies, NGOs and cooperatives. The Lucy Iron Fish Project will solve a preventable health problem that impacts more than 3.5 billion people worldwide and is responsible of a loss of $70 billion of global GDP. The Lucky Iron Fish™ was invented on the principle of providing Cambodians with a safe effective iron supplement solution that is affordable, accessible, and culturally appropriate.
