Fab Health
Energy in The Hills Shire

The FAB family of products began life in the 1940's when a young Sydney industrial chemist, John Corbett Snr, established the Medical Research Trust and brought back from the USA the first oral iron supplement. Other products such as FABFOL Plus (developed primarily for pregnant and lactating women) and FAB MAXIFEM (Day and Night Capsules to help deal with PMS and stress) have been added to compliment the range. Over the years, and especially in recent times as knowledge of diets and peoples needs have improved, the formulation of FAB has been changed to reflect these developments. With iron being the world's most common mineral deficiency, FAB continued to be successful as consumers found new life and energy as their iron states were corrected and maintained. Over the many years following its launch, FAB became established as the 'Gentle Iron' as people recognised that it minimised many of the common side effects of iron supplementation, such as constipation and nausea. The supplement was named FAB and became an almost instant success. In addition he recognised the value of using an organic amino acid chelated form of iron, which is more easily absorbed by the body, thereby improving efficacy and reducing side effects. With revolutionary thinking, what we think was, John Corbett Snr recognised that iron deficiency was often closely linked to B group vitamin deficiencies and designed, at the time, the first vitamin/mineral supplement of its type marketed in Australia.
